I first rode bikes in the late 60's when a learner bike was a 250cc. I had a T250 suzuki super six, good for about 90mph which I rode on learner plates. I also had a 1959 650cc triumph thunderbird which I rode illegally not having passed a motorcycle test although I had a full car licence.
In about 1975 I gave up biking as I was working away and driving long distances.
I had a ride on a nephews 125 Aprilia and it was as if I had never stopped riding (like a duck to water). I was up to speed in the first few yards, hand eye foot coordination all good. Since then I have had a bit of practice.
I want to buy a mid sized 28 - 30bhp 500-650cc old brit bike and need to pass a motorcycle test for it the simplest way. Preferably without the need to buy a 125 learner. I understand I need to do the CBT, but what is the next step, I am 58 and have had a full car licence since 1970.
cheers, andy.
