Actually, in response to all the slandering of my good name...
I had to pass the same test as everyone else. In fact, I passed a more stringent test than that passed by some of the older members here.
I have acquaintances who passed their tests, and then stayed off bikes for 2 years until their restriction was up. I didn't, and only a change of circumstances (my ZX-4 blowing up) has kept me off bikes. That still counts for 1 1/2 years more road experience than the others have had.
Power has yet to have been a problem in any of my "incidents". Most involve low speed and stupidity (which I intend to resolve with BikeSafe courses, etc when back on the road). And just for the record, Midden, my current claim count stands at 1.
On the black box thing - my car hasn't got a black box - the insurance for the black box was more expensive than standard! And no, I don't know why either.
