1st time
Was working in a bike shop at the time, examiner clocked me and said "oh no, not you".. lol
Went for a spin around Hartlepool and Seaton Carew, did an emergency stop and that was that.
That was back in the days of proficiency certificate, part 1, then part 2.
(1989)
returned back to work and bought a 250 gamma mk3 on the same day.
