When did you pass your test and how difficult was it?

Me, 1977. It was a tenner. You answered a coupla questions, read a car number plate, rode around the block trying not to fall off, stopped when a bloke standing on the path walked out from behind a parked car holding a clipboard, then wheelied up Woodbridge road squealing with delight when you got out of ipswich test centre with your pass. The most difficult bit was the wheelie ( a bus up ahead stopped outside a bus stop like they do and in my enthusiasm I nearly ploughed my bald tyred untaxed rd250 into it..)
If the motorcycling press are to be believed, the bike test is a bit more difficult/comprehensive/ expensive now...


Ps a tenner sounds cheap but in truth it was a bloody fortune, I was only on 21 quid a week and running a stroker...
