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

[nanook]

Did my test in 2000 and had my brand new Fazer waiting in the showroom for me.  Only problem was that my U turns were iffy (still are if truth be told!) so I did my test on a 125 and had to have my shiny new black Fazer restricted!  :eek  The following year I helped to organise the first spring meet and my bike was still restricted until about a month before the meet.  So...back to the test centre and sat my 'big bike' test and passed easily; then a few weeks later...off to Settle.
