    Johnny is such a great champ on the track and yet such a cool a humble guy in real life. It may sound weird to hear him saying 'i'm nervous because I'm gonna get tested', but this shows how a nice and clean person this guy is, inside and outside the track. JR, one of us! Ok, at least as long we're all standstill...😄

    I learned to ride 2 years ago, aged 35, proper early mid-life crisis. Took me 6 attempts to pass the MOD1! Couldn't get the speed right for the swerve test at the end.
    Nailed the MOD2, first go tho, bought myself a VFR800 as my 1st bike, done 12,000 miles since, absolutely love riding.

    Bloody awesome Jonathon when a 6 times WSBK Champion admits to having trepidations and concerns driving on the road under wet conditions at 60mph whilst doing your first learner lessons. My Grandson is about to undertake his motorcycle learners here in Sydney so hope he has the same trepidations as you and while it is an amazing passion to ride bikes it can change in an instant if you think you have it all mastered as younger people tend to have. Having ridden for well over 50 years and love it more now than ever, the one lesson is ride within your ability. Regards from Sydney, Australia.

    for information :

    B full license (above 250cc until beyond 1000cc)

  • @michaelbelfast1
    @michaelbelfast1 3 года назад

    Yeah, I felt the bike test is a bit more advanced than the car test. More safety rules to remember such as helmet, gear etc. Then also being tested on control of the bike, balancing around figure of 8's etc. at slow speed. Before the actual road test. More of a challenge. And like you, seeing people enjoying their bikes on the roads in summer year in, year out, made me think, I want to get my bike license too. Did it during lockdown and bought an old 2003 Kawasaki ZX-9R in excellent condition. Absolutely love it and the thrill of its power, especially flying up steep hills! Failed my module one the first time as wee staffy dog of nearly 15 years died the day before.. well it didn't help anyway. Got it the second time though with a clean sheet and just one minor then on my road test. I reckon I'll go for a big BMW touring bike in a lot of years down the line to travel around Europe in.
