It's a bit worrying really, how few 'young' motorcyclists there are generally. Probably due to how difficult and expensive it is to get a licence. Sometimes when I go to bike meets or bike dealers at the weekend, it resembles a geriatric care home day out - which of course makes me feel at home.![]()
cos they have to do a bit more than ride round the block and stick 1 hand out when turning left..........i pulled a wheelie and skidded down the road on the 3 streets 'out of sight' of the examiner when i did my test........on an RD250DX with allspeeds......Y is it so hard?
well, i only do the skids in me pants these years.........id never pass a test now.Pmsl. I see not much has changed then lol![]()

like the thai test?Course u wud. It's a piece of piss mate.
A lot more difficult than it used to be (not a bad thing). Also the recent age restrictions, full licence not until age 24 (unless A2 licence held for 2 years, in which case 21) - all of this leads to people saying "not worth the hassle" and getting car licence and car.instead.Y is it so hard?
A mate of mine did his test when examiners stood on corners. He rode around the corner out of sight, did a life saver - and promptly rode into the back of a parked car and came off - he picked up the bike, looked around to see if anyone was watching - kicked car's broken light cluster under the car and carried on. He continued around the block and carried out the emergency stop procedure "what kept you" said examiner, he replied " lot's of traffic, I decided it was not safe to filter" - "well done" said examiner "always put safety first. I'm pleased to tell you that you have passed". Those were the days.cos they have to do a bit more than ride round the block and stick 1 hand out when turning left..........i pulled a wheelie and skidded down the road on the 3 streets 'out of sight' of the examiner when i did my test........on an RD250DX with allspeeds......

What happened to the the days a few years back where you passed your test then 2 years later the license restriction came off and you were good to go on any bike. That's what I did passed the test at 18 with no lessons other then a cbt now I'm 27 I glad I passed them test when I did with all these new rules.
I blame people having a midlife crisis that's properly why they bought in the license reg changes.
