    I spent 15 years on my learners, then went from learners to full in 3 months!... just needed to buy a 750 for motivation

    btw congrats Her_B4. Just the feeling that ya could (if u wanted to) buy/ride any bike is worth it.

    Thanks Guy(es)s,

    Yes it was a bloody long day actually but I think it was worth it. - now I WOULD be out shopping but I am going on hols for 3 1/2 weeks so I guess that will just make the test / selection and purchase all the sweeter....

    Congratulations!!! It must feel nice passing your test.

    So was the course worth going to? (Besides the part about getting the license). I.E did you learn anything at it?

    yeah for me personally there was. My biggest mistake (and I used to make as a young'un as well,) is to keep looking down - and I found to my horror that I still do that!!

    Now that I am more aware of this and a whole seething mass of other little 'freakish quirks' (like trying to biff my pillion - well it was my FIRST time!!! ) I know that I will ride a lot safer.

    Now if I can just remember where I put the damned keys.....

    Thanks!!

    I was on my learners for a couple of years because the 'ole (and I really mean OLD and EFFING DECREPID) GN250 that I had, spent more time off the road than on it. It needed more than a damned !!! You get what you pay for in the end eh?

    I decided in the end that I would have to bite the damned bullet and pay some decent money for a bike ... so I bought the CBR about 5 months ago and rode it for a month before sitting my restricted.

    Cheers,
    Chrissie

    Can you guys really take as long as you want on learner bikes?

    Over here in occasionally sunny England, we have a limited amount of time on a learner licence - I think it is two or three years. If you don't take (and pass) your full test in that time, then you lose your licence and cannot reapply for 12 months.

    If you just want to ride 125cc or below (that is our learner capacity over here - yes, it is pants) you can take a test that only lets you ride up to that capacity. Otherwise you pass full test and spend two years restricted to 250cc, then afterwards you can ride any capacity bike.

    Of course, the EU are looking to change this and bring in more 'time-restricted' capacity limits and put in some more tests, but this is what we get for letting even more meddling politicos into our lives over here!

    But back to the main point - well done on passing your test!

    Errrr

    I believe that that trip started quite some time ago....... hence the reference to the tyre kicking in the earlier post

    I haven't yet selected which magnificient beast I shall settle on - but I CAN assure you that it will have two wheels (no trainers) and I would be blessed indeed if it favoured an italian origin.......

    Ha ha ha - no point buying anything too soon eh? take all the fun out the looking!!!

    I think you have 10 years. Then you have to renew it Although I never heard of anyone doing that.
