    Bout bloody time..

    So after 9 months i eventually booked my Restricted for next week after being so god damn lazy, which made me wonder. Did you guys get your R asap or let it sit for a while?
    Rest in peace Tony - you will be missed.

    ASAP and I'll get my full soon as I can, main reason full insurance and less fines/demerits wouldn't hurt

    Had my R nearly 4 years now, possibly slightly more. Although to be fair I don't have a bike, nor any money to buy one so I just havent bothered finishing it off.

    I got my restricted around 17 years after I got my learners. No point rushing these things.

    same. I had to demonstrate to the local plod that I could start, stop and turn the bike: he stood outside the cop shop and watched, said "You're an accident waiting to happen" and gave me my licence.

    Oddly, that night, I fell off and fucked my knee. Still got the scar 30 years later.

    Cor blimey, them were the days, right?

    I had my learners for about 14 or 15months ... though I wasn't really in any rush to begin with as I only rode to commute over the bridge and back, and got so ill when I was actually able to sit it that I wasn't able to ride for 4months. That hurt, was just starting to enjoy riding as it was mid summer and I wasn't getting rained on whenever I went for a ride
    It wasn't me officer, I swear!
