    @Calum I know Calum, but as much as us old fellas like to remember the past it doesn't help the new riders doing their license today. The A1 today is useless, it is the government as usual, bullying motorcyclists. In the same sense that bikers pay the london congestion charge which is argued because they produce CO2 and Carbon Monoxide, fair enough. Except motorcyclists factor in for less than 1% of traffic pollution in london! It's a fucking scam! Sorry if I'm going on a rant here and it sounds like a recruitment speech for a revolution, guess it's my french side.

    @Minia I wouldn't say it's pointless. Having done my license, I never got a bigger bike. Still on a 125. Sure I could go get one, but I didn't. So say if my license didn't automatically upgrade, I've not had to pay for CBT every two years.

    At the end of the day, the governments hand was forced when so many kids killed themselves on powerful motors.

      @Glynn123 Why do the A1? It's useless, do a CBT for £70 and ride on a 125 for 2 years then do your A2? A1 is just a question of money, it is a CBT that does not expire. THATS IT. It's pathetic, £800 for a CBT that doesn't expire? Fuck me man... I hope you meant A2.

        Welcome! Get some pictures up of your bike, we like a good show!

        Personally, if you got the money it's always a good idea to get your license especially as sooner or later you will want a bigger bike.

            @kyle-rhys You can click on the cloud button and upload an image from your desktop computer. If it's a web image, copy the .jpg or .png link then click the image button and insert the link in there. You'll get the hang of it.

                          @kyle-rhys Saw this at 'two wheel tuesday' a few weeks back parked next to an old husky supermoto, replace those worn out nobblies if you want to use it for green laning, it'll be all over the place!
