Default Re: On a more serious note.....

Afternoon all.
Being an old git I kinda feel sorry for you newer riders, who have to put up with all that malarky.
There was no such thing as a CBT, one just stuck L plates on a 250 & off one went.
The test itself was areal giggle, as there was no following you around, the examiner walked round the block, after giving one directions as to which way to go, therefore he could only see ones riding for less than half the time.
Examiners used to scuttle down alleyways to try & catch one doing something daft when out of view.
I did my test on my 250 Honda, which had no indicators, & an exhaust note that would get one an instant ticket these days.
From good morning, until I had the pass slip in my hand was no more than 20 minutes at the outside.
It's no wonder they tightened up on it eh!
Good luck next time Ooger.

Cheers.
