Car 1998 at 17
Bike 2004 at 23.

I wasn't even remotely bothered about bikes until a mate at work convinced me to do my CBT. I agreed, was hooked, and booked my DAS there & then!

Bike at 17 early '87. Car at 18 late '87

Never drove another car until I was 21, felt they were too dangerous (18 year old logic "Cor! Wouldn't want to end up like that Def Leppard drummer bloke! )

As a matter of interest if you passed your test before a certain date you will have a micro car license which means you have a car license[very small car license]
I'm unsure of the dates or size of car but it does exist and I only found this amazing fact out a week ago as one of the chaps I work with who only has a bike license[riding for 40years] had a bad off and when he returned to work he was driving a 4 wheeled car about the same size as a Smart with reverse gear,just small

Perhaps the more knowledgeable amongst you could throw some light on this fact

In the olden Days if you passed a bike test you were allowed to drive a three wheeled car under 8 CWT (officially with no reverse gear) as per the reliant robin, Morgan and issetta and mershermitte bubble cars

Wot he said, but did my HGV at 19 as I was in the TA at the time.

I got back into biking when the Mrs said I couldn't spend a lot of money on a BMW M3... Mate at work said "You'll have more fun on a bike at 60, than you will in that at 120." Which made me think, so I booked my DAS and about 5 weeks later I passed. I bought the SV the week before

Car test first, then bike after having kids - couldn't really justify riding round on a bike while pregnant!!

Couldn't afford to buy car when I passed my test SO decided to borrow my dad's brand new car as he was away. Piled in about 6 of my mates into the car and took it for a spin round Barry Island on two wheels (that's when I decided I WANTED A BIKE!!!). Needless to say, my dad read the mileage BEFORE he went away so when he came back from his course - who needs words ay?
