Although I rode bikes exclusively for about 15 years back in the 60's and 70's, I've only got back into biking again since January of this year. I started out with a new Yamaha XT225, but soon found my "road legs" again and ached for a nice road bike....so I traded in the great little XT225 for my FZ6 in July.
Here in British Columbia, the procedure for obtaining a full license is broken down into 3 stages: the Knowlege Test, which (once passed) gets you a Learner's licence. This entitles you to ride your bike, with restrictions: do not exceed 60kph, no riding at night, no passengers and always in company with a biker with a full license. Next comes the Skills Test, where you have to ride around some traffic cones and do an emergency stop. Next is the full riding test, which takes about 1 hour. You are outfitted with a dayglow vest and a boom-mike, and are followed by 2 testers in an SUV who direct you through the test route.
I did this test this morning and PASSED. :Sport:
What makes this so special for me is that I'm 61 in October....:rockon:
Who says you have to get old.
