Erm about 15 months and 8,000 miles probably. Can't really remember too well but it was around those figures.
10 months on a twist and go and 5 months on my City Fly 125. Probably did about 4,000 miles on each bike I think. Maybe more on the 125 as I was commuting a bit more. Pasted with 0 minors first time. Never driven a car on the road.
City fly finished up ith 11,000 miles added by me, and current bike has 12,000 added by me. So by April I will have had bikes 3 years and done 27,000 + miles. ____________________ Past: Honda x8rs, Honda City fly, Honda Hornet 250, Honda VFR750, Yamaha xt600e.

3 lessons!
Had been driving on the road for 7 years in a car though.
I was quite surprised how little knowledge of the the road is actually required to pass the bike test. I suspect that had I not of been driving for years and just gone straight into biking I would of definitely of had an accident by now due to lack of observation and planning.
I suppose it's a lot harder to teach on a motorcycle as the riding instructor is unable to see all your reactions to what is going on around you, unlike a car instructor. ____________________ Current: ZZR1400

About 2 miles and ~5 minutes on my brothers Superdream that I'd just helped fix.
I didn't even have a lid on, let alone gloves or proper boots, things ye do as a lad eh? Wound up always wanting a bike after that, I just never seemed to have the motivation till the rumors of the test changes started floating about. Then bam, ZZR on the drive and a DAS booked that week
