The Hong Kong Jockey Club would probably be the place to see about getting a jockey licence. If you just want to ride for pleasure at a riding school, you don't need a licence.

In case this does concern a motorbike license, you are screwed. The process of taking classes in HK takes about 5 month, and there is no way of speeding it up. For the first 12 month after you get the license, you cannot take passengers or go over 70. The license sets you back about 7.500HK$.
Good thing: Hong Kong School of Motoring is a bunch of fine people.
However, I recommend to try to convert another international license. See, if you can get a European license lets say. For most countries, this will then be accepted in HK with no probs. Transferring is about 900HK$.

halfedge, acctually there is a way to speed it up and you dont have to go through the entire process set by the HKSM. The first section is mandatory to get the learners but the additional 20 hours or so of lessons is not. once you have your learners you can book your own test over at Caroline Hill Rd. Now providing you can get a bike and can do all the required manouvers you can get your license. You will still need to use the P plate and the probation rules still apply. It is faster if you are a very good ridder. keep in mind some of the manouvers are tricky such as figure 8's on an incline.
As halfedge says it would be better to to an international transfer if you can.

I'd love to take a peek at the local syllabus, especially the sections on lane discipline, using roundabouts and indicators and general road courtesy, if indeed there are any ;)
