I'm 41. Started riding at 16. Then discovered pubs MK1 escorts and capris. Passed my test first attempt at 23 and got my instructors licence at 26 passed my advance test at about 32.
Since selling the storm in February to buy my van this has been the longest I have been without a bike since passing my test.

I'm 42 and have never been without a bike since I was 16. Passed my test at 17. Did have a couple of mates who had Fizzies when I was 14 and had quite a bit of road experience when I eventually got my provisional license
