My first bike. This is the only picture I have of it.
I started with the practice driving but never actually took the licence.
The law (at that time) stated that at 16 you where allowed to drive a bike with a maximum of 11kW (14.7hp) and that licence would stay that way.
But at 18 you could get a licence for 25kW (34hp) and that licence would then expand after two years to allow any road legal bike. I was a slow at finishing the theory and therefore skipped to the 25kW licence right away and got it the day after I turned 18.
