full bike licence
Hoorar! I just passed my full bike licence test - which now lets me run anything up to a 250cc for the first year, and beyond that, any bike of any capacity. I decided to do the 4 hour scrape n rate lesson and test on a twist n go auto 150cc Honda scooter which was completely different to the Vespa that I was now familiar with. I thought going auto would have my licence in the bag but the Honda's disc brakes felt a little cushy and overpowered and there was quite a lot of slack in the throttle from idle to go, and this took a while to master. I might have been better off on a normal motorbike but luckily I got through without crossing any of the maginot lines. Now I'm fully legal.. which is fully sick.. ahh peace of mind.
