Nope, haven't been brave enough to get back on after I got thrown off of one as a child. emoticon

Have been on our quad a lot, so building up the courage to ride one again. emoticon

Re: motorcycling


I'd love a motorbike but I'd probbaly kill everybody with it.
Another thing I like is leather jackets so maybe I could just buy one and a helmet and pretend that that HD round the corner was mine?


I was doing a funny thing last week...I was waiting for Chris to come from somewhere in front of a really posh looking car (not a sports thingy, just a classic-looking beauty) and I went really close to it and was pretending that I was getting the keys out of my handbac. Got lots ot admiring smiles from blokes passin by!!

Thanks!

Well it depends on how big a scooter and when you passed your car test - if the scooter is 50cc or less you can ride it on L plates if you passed your test before a certain date, maybe 2001? I'd have to look it up. Anyway, I wouldn't advise you to do that, regardless of whether or not you're allowed to ride, you really need to take some basic training called 'CBT'. It is a day-long course which you can't fail. After taking that I think you can ride moreorless any scooter on L plates if you are over 21, or upto 125cc if you are 17-20 years old.

Google CBT + training + UK you should get some hits. DVLA website will help also

Good luck!
