Do you have a Motorbike Licence?

Just wondering how many members have a bike licence.

I have purposefully not gone out and got one.
For the simple reason:

Bike licence =
Excuse to buy a bike =
Simon buys bike =
Simon kills self

So, it's a matter of self preservation.

Yes, I got a Vietnamese bike licence in 2007 when I was living there. That episode of Top Gear in Vietnam when they got a VN licence, I did that same practical test. I didn't have to do the theory test as I already had a UK car licence which transferred over to VN.

For some reason though the Vietnam licence wasn't recognised by the UK!(although I could use it to ride as a visitor, it's not transferrable as a UK resident). So U did the UK CBT in 2009 and full licence in 2010.

I now ride a Honda Pan European and I'm doing the RoSPA advanced course now.

Oh... I still have my VN car and bike licence. Sometimes when I go overseas I use the Vietnam licence to rent a car. I rented off Avis in Australia using the Vietnam licence, no problems
