Back in my day you just got on with it, passed your test and rode what the feck you wanted.oneday wrote:Not passing comment on people's choices just wondered how many people without the correct licences ride 125s with bigger engines or do not declare bike modifications to insurers?
Sure we all remember doing it back in the day but now we are all grown up guess nobody does?
Go look up "Ironic" in the English Oxford Dictionary- its somewhere between the "H" and the "J" section.shean_avfc wrote:bristolmod wrote:just about f@@king sums it up.

If you cant analyse your own question and come up with an inteligent answer without an adult helping you then im guessing you wouldn't want to hear the propper answershean_avfc wrote:And why is you can learn to drive a car any engine size yet scooters and motorbikes only 125cc?
The problem with the new system is that he has several more "small price to pay" to move on to bigger categories of bike, and frankly that's bullshit. We never had to do it and I don't see why he should either.Swat wrote:As

I'd make the following observations
-In principle, the stepped licence acquisition process makes sense (& will probably filter its way across to car licences in time) It's obviously aimed at youngsters with more money than sense leaping onto 100cc 150mph missiles.
- The downside is that 'classic' Scooters having relatively large cc to bhp output are somewhat penalised - My Lammy is a 225cc rapido 'S' type & I have to wring its neck to keep up with my lads KTM -
The outcome is my lad, despite having passed his bike test, cannot (due to being 18) not ride my Lammy - thereagain the short travel suspension, non ABS brakes, and slightly wayward handling would probably terrify him !!
The obvious answer is to do the bike test, he did it no bother on basis of a year spent on a 50cc Derbi Senda plus 2 hours skills brushing up with local trainer. total cost less than £200 quid inc DSA theory & proactical test fees- a small price to pay.
