She hasn't been around since May Manky, will I do?

You can now ride a learner motorcycle (up to 125cc and power output not exceeding 11kW) on the road while displaying L-plates. You may not ride on motorways or carry a pillion passenger.

After passing your A2 test you are restricted to motorcycles up to 25kW with a power/weight ratio not exceeding 0.16kW/kg (33 bhp) for two years.

I think the answer is no unless you have already passed your A2


Some time's my mind doesn't only wander, it leaves completely ...........
