Welcome Mal, yep remember the old test of the 70's very well, I had a z900 so had to borrow my mates bright yellow Cb250J, we did our tests back to back, I went first and passed, he then took his and failed, pretty sure it was because the exmainer was well pissed off when I jumped off the Hinda and straight back onto my Zed.

Welcome to the :zrxuk: from a member of the contingent. Glad you survived those early adventures to tell us about them. Most of us here have stories to tell of "early times" on bikes. Pretty laid back, congenial group here (sometimes Brakey accidently stumbles upon the plot and astounds us with a recollection of sumpin'). Grem's put together a nice, friendly site where the REX is king, but most other bikes are at least tolerated (well maybe with just a bit 'o ) ;D
