In those days you could pick one up at the showroom and ride it away without any training
whatsoever. Although I would not recommend that today with the amount of traffic on the roads.
Went from two wheels to four after passing my car test at 19. I soon found that cars have their uses but do not come close to the thrill of a bike. So, got myself an old Yam RD 200 still on L plates as you could back then.
I swapped the Yam for a Honda 250 Super Dream and then the law changed, you could no longer ride around on L plates for all eternity, so I took and passed my bike test.
Wow, I thought I can ride what I want now, unfortunately not. It was around this time biking had to stop to make way for all thing’s family (house, wife and three little ones). This was to be a long time without a bike 25 years in fact. At the age of 49 I caught the bug again and got myself a little old Kwack GPZ 500 just to get back on two wheels again. I soon found I wanted something with a bit more grunt, so in 2012 I robbed the bank and got a Suzuki 1250 and 9 years later I have still got it.
I love biking so much that I thought I could do more than just ride for fun, so when I came across a post on Facebook by 2Wheelskool offering to train people to be a CBT instructor I was over the moon.
I contacted Jen who put me in touch with Steve and Jack. I have now signed up and started my training and loving it.
The only downside has been this Covid thing, it has put a stop to everything. But I think good times are coming and I cannot wait to be a part of the team.
