  2. That prize may well be yours, John.

    Bet I win the prize for the oldest to pass his car test at the first attempt.

  3. I'd never be able to claim that one, my first lesson was at 8am on the morning of my 17th Birthday, and within 6 months I had passed both car and bike tests first bite of the cherry each. I had nothing more than learning to ride and drive on my mind right up to my 17th birthday - for me my life started on May 12th 1995

  12. 48 years old been riding 32.
    Did a thread on the old forum before it died "Is the Multistrada an old mans bike" That worked out as an average of 48.
    There is hope; my lad 18 rides a 620 Multistrada, passed his test this year

  13. Two score and five. Had a road bikes on and off from sixteen until twenty-ish. Biggest bike I had was a 350 Elsie.

    Passed my bike test Jan. 2006.

    Rode an off road bike for the last ten years or so.

    To answer Andy`s question, I know he only asks cos` he cares :wink:.
    I`ve not had any extra training or do I see myself doing any in the future. Sorry, I think.
