A semi retired guy, a 'gofer' at a local car dealer's, I used to see though work a few years ago had a big block Harley. He was telling me that he was stopped one day and the cop asked for his licence. After looking at the licence the cop advised him there was no motorcycle class. The Harley rider protested that he'd had a bike licence since the early '60s.
His motorcyce licence had been dropped during one of the changes: either the change to a "paper" licence, or to the photo licence, and he hadn't noticed. He was told he had no option but to go through the full rigmarole to get a new licence.
I didn't see him again so don't know what he decided, but it'd be a shame if he sold his Harley because he couldn't be bothered riding a 250 for however long.
