Car licence at 18
Bike licence at 21

Had a housemate at uni who had a CB250 and I decided to get a bike licence.

My family thought bikes are too dangerous and after several discussions told me I wasn't allowed, so I went ahead anyway and did my test(DAS).

Then I got bought a new Polo straight after my test, if I sold my 125 and never got on a bike again.

Got bored of the car after 4 months and started saving for a SV. 2 years later, got a new SV

My mum has forgiven me being a dirty little lying spoilt cheat.

Bike first in '95, car next in '05. Only did my car test for work (driving vans full of film equipment around) In fact, since passing my test, all I've driven has been my SV and huge transits (high top, long wheelbase) full of expensive equipment. I think a car would feel weird now...

Don't feel too bad Law, it seems from you avatar it's your parents fault for introducing you to bikes at a young age

Took bike and car tests in 1980, passed bike, failed car - didn't retake car, no interest. Had to take car again in 1984 because license required by work.

Never been interested in cars, just consider them a tool for lugging things around.
Helen can't understand, she has 2 Porsche, (Boxter S and Cayenne S), despite putting me on the insurance I've never even wanted a drive.

I wasn't interested in bikes till I hit about 25 and had already been driving for 8 years. I think the on road experience I gained before riding the bike was invaluable.
