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

[BBROWN1664]

Like Ogri, mine was a quick ride round the block in 1987 or thereabouts.

Passed, but shouldn't have as I locked the back brake a little on the
emergency stop, but the examiner didn't spot it!

I took my test on an XS750 with a Sidewinder sidecar to avoid doing the playground part with the cones just because I could. I locked up the back wheel on the emergency stop too but still passed as I released it quickly and still kept control.
One of the questions he asked after was the importance of the front brake on a motorcycle. I replied along the lines about weight movement and too little weight on the rear means the rear can lock up like it did for me in an emergency stop. Still passed though.
