Do you remember your first vehicle ? [I Love To Ride Bikes]

@ArishMell Nice!! Classic 😎🤟

@Trippy That was the maximum size you could ride as a learner at the time. I don't know what it is now, but it's a lot less in c.c. though probably not much less in HP.

@ArishMell Interesting. Just a class M cert. on your Drivers license needed where I live🤷‍♀️

@Trippy Over the years they've done more than just reduce the size of bike a learner can use here. They have also extended the test to include a written exam as well as the practical riding test - but I think this is applies to all motor-vehicles not just motorbikes.

A tragic phenomenon has arisen among men (mainly) who passed their tests years ago on fairly modestly powered motorcycles, then might have gone on to ride big 500cc and above machines for a few years. Having not been on a bike for 40 or 50 years, but now retired with a reasonable pension and savings they have treated themselves to motorbikes of similar capacity but much greater power... And too many have found the modern bikes too powerful for their lost experience, with a quite a number fatally crashing.
