[QUOTE="Len Matthews, post: 6980, member: 178"] The fact that AH Sprite is only sixteen and owns two sports cars which presumably he will drive under supervision when he reaches seventeen on a provisional licence highlights the situation facing novice motorcyclists. At sixteen, one can apply for M/C provisional licence but are restricted to a 50cc machine. Twelve months later you are allowed a 125. You can't go beyond that until you have taken a training course (CBT) for which there is a charge and the DOT Driving Test. I have nothing against that;training must be good thing. My point is why aren't novice car drivers required to do the same? At present there nothing to stop a seventeen year old from taking to the road in something very powerful provided he's got a qualified driver with him and displaying L plates. Having had a moan about that, I hope AH Sprite will keep up his enthusiasm for Vincents-I wanted one from the age of eleven!:) [/QUOTE]
