Default Re: How many years riding motorbikes[legally]

Been riding on the road for 37 years.
Legally for 34 years (LOL). (I started young)
Got my license at 16 in 1975. (cars & bikes)

(yes that means I'll be 50 next month)

Oh and held a full bike license for 33 years myself (obviously a year on a moped before that, so 34 if you like).

Cheers Mark.

Its either 17 or 18 for my bike license....... but only 12yrs since my last test. Had a little break for 2yrs on the road.

Does you license only show full license? I had a year on 12bhp/CBT/provisional thing.

Only owned 7 bikes in that time, one was hers, one bought as a hack to spare the good bike.

5-10 years.

Although I got my first PY80 at the grand age of about 7.

Dad gave up racing not long after and my biking days were taken from me until I was 18.

And I was dead set to go into racing gutted.

I started riding in Spring 1994. So I've no idea whether to vote for the 10-15 or 15-20 options. Why not have 10-14 and 15-20, rather than duplicate 15?

8 years on the SV

Never ridden illegaly (other than the odd spin round the block on mates bikes etc). I did almost drive my dads car into a Marina (A boat kind, not a morris) when i was 3!
