While fannying about trying to find one day insurance to ride my brother in law's bike to RTTW, I noticed that I passed my test 35 years ago in July...
LIterally 30 years this month for the Car and 23 years in mid Dec for the Bike.. my only regret that gap between car and bike tests. Still got in before direct access though at the end of 1996.. just, but had I done it at 17 it would have been a ride round the block job
