I passed my bike test years before that and burnt my L plates in the car park then did a big wheelie, will never forget the look on the clipboard dudes face when I did that


I love that bike test story!!

I passed my bike test in 1964 on my Lambretta Li 150 Mk2.

It was total hoot!

In those days the examiner "followed" you on foot around a set course.

My mates and I all exchanged info on where the Examiner would be at various points on the route - and we used to go and practice around it.

We all passed first shot!!

In 1964 I do not think there was any Capacity limit on what you could ride - my buddy passed his on his brothers 500cc BSA!!
