riding a Honda 70
Hi everyone I have been offered a Honda 70, I know nowt about bikes and haven't ridden one since I was 16/17. Can I ride this on my car licence? I did a CBT ages ago but I assume that that has lapsed. I have a full car licesnce and according to my licence, I passed my test in 2000. Aside, what is it likely to cost to insure? I'm 23. I think its an x reg. Anyone know what goes wrong with them?

You'll need to take the CBT Phil, once done you can then ride that bike with L plates for up to two years.
No idea on the insurance front I'm afraid but check out www.bennetts.co.uk |

Hi, thanks. I read that if I passed my driving test for the car before 2001 I should be able to ride a moped. This is all extremely confusing. I also thought if I took CBT it would last the length of my car licence?

Aren't mopeds only up to 50cc? Or has that rule changed as well?
The stupid thing is that because I passed my bike test in 1963 (when the examiner had to keep running all over the place to keep seeing you during the test) there is no restriction on the size or power of the bikes I'm allowed to drive/ride, even if, as I did, I had a 25 year break from biking. I took the test on a Lambretta, and within days I had bought a Norton! This is one reason I built the 3 wheeler, as when I did get back on a bike, I wasn't as confident as I had been previously. Still love bikes, though. (Yes, I know, a trike is a bike with stabilisers, but mine has two wheels at the front) Malcolm |

Worn with ice blue jeans, and ex MoD leather flying boots (with the obligatory white socks folded over the top). Couldn't afford a leather jacket at first, so it was what was known as a "combat" jacket to complete the ensemble.... Trouble was the Norton was so underpowered, it was a 1958 Model 50, a 350cc single in the 500 ES2 frame. Those were the days |
