Would be interesting to see how many old school riders would pass the licencing system these days
Old school rider, 40+ years of operating vehicles including bikes of all sizes and configerations.
Sat the learners test this day 12 mths ago, Passed 35/35 questions. did not squat for the exam.
Did the 6 mths learners,
Rode and passed with positive comments the restricted riding test,
As far as you suggesting that experience in cars can easily be transferred over to bike,
Phift!!
Seen many many young fellas think this over the years, and many many of them have ended up on their ass in a ditch going W T F!
Why, ....you see bike are almost the complete opposite of cars , a car you just sit in push knobs and pedals, move a few sticks turn the wheel at the right time, and it works. A bike?, you have to control...or it will control you, bite you and spit you off as it laughs at you.
You need the two years on a learner just to learn the basics, the next 10 years to get average, and if you last the next ten years then your competent, but even after 30 years, bike will still bite you when you least expect it, no matter how experienced or skilled you are.. thats the nature of the beast...and us that know this love it.....
Cars? get in turn a key push a pedal or two turn a corner, stop....thats about it, you can master that in a day if you have any brains
To be old and wise, first you must be young and stupid.
