Bike license poll

[FJRider]

Looking at the poll so far it looks as though we old farts with full licences are in the majority after all. Bikers aren't as rebellious as all that

YEP !!! We are the (silent ???) majority

or who started riding without a license

got mine eight years after I started riding

[DougB]

I have had a full licence for sixty years. Back in the 50's we just had to ride up and down the road in frount of a traffic cop and he gave us a licence. Them were the days. Never had a helmet for many years. Army greatcoats and newspaper stuffed under the shirt, to keep out the cold, was our riding gear.

Only one bike available then would go over 100mph. (160KPH) a Vincent Rapide. I had the first model with rear springing a 1950 AJS. Learnt to ride on a 1937 Harley. If you could handle that everything else was easy.

I selected option 1, but that will only technically be correct on Monday morning when I walk into AA to get my license back

Least I can also claim I am demerit free

[mctshirt]

I got my licence back in the days they came in the Weet-Bix packet

[alanzs]

Yeah, just a Blazing Saddle will do!

I betcha most people here, except us old farts have no idea where that "We don't need no stinking licences (badges)" quote comes from.
