Good girl! I did my bike licence before cars.

Same here. Did you pass both first time?

Sure did, both parts of the motorcycle test and then my car licence first time too.

I got my full licence September 2012 but only owned one bike....a horrid Hyosung lol

My love for bikes started young.....my Mum jokes she only got with my Dad as he had bikes, but most likely true hahaha

That's excellent! My love affair started when I was about 11 when I had a go on an old moped called a Raleigh Wisp. It was basically like a woman's push bike with an engine! Lol.
I still remember that first feeling of being pulled along the road on two wheels without having to pedal!

Good man . The two part test is more difficult than when I passed too!

Done a bit to the kitchen floor, screwing down floor boards. Other than that just some FPGA programming.

When did you pass? I did mine in 1988 and it was two parts, one off road and one on.
Nothing like today’s though.

Off road? like a dirt bike?

Wish I still had my 1973 Yamaha SS (Note - Pre FS1E), had low frame/engine numbers: 0055!

No, car park around cones.

1981. Mine was all on the road with a list of verbal questions afterwards. It was all completed in one session. Pretty much the same format as my car test which I passed in the same year.

I remember the SS and FS1E or fizzy as they used to call them. A mate had a tuned up fizzy that did 60! lol

Just about finished the move packing up at work yesterday. The paint and sanding discs arrived at home, so will try to get some more paint on the Firebird over the weekend. Will post any progress on the vehicle thread.

Yeah, I started with a moped. I fell off a few times, manly in the wet! But nothing serious luckily.

 

[Will]

I also have my eye on the type of bike I would buy if and when I pass

What bike would you get?

I had the model after, the RD 50M

My ped was one of these. It was a French built Motobecane. Not particularly sporty but it did the job.
