Mid life crisis?

You're a bit late for that party.

If it helps I'm almost 50, really unfit and ride a 160 mph bike daily on a 50 mile round trip to work.

Just had a call from my instructor cancelling the CBT until next week! Pity I would like to have had it out of the way.

Fret ye not, my father-in-law just got back into biking and he's in his 60s too. Already had a licence from 40 years back and jumped straight onto a Honda Shadow like a duck to water Smile

I don't think you're allowed to do 60 on your CBT.

I think the limits are 20, 30, 40 and 50.

Don't sweat about it, CBT was a nice relaxed enjoyable day dicking about in a car park, followed by a stint on the roads. Thumbs Up

Oh yea I remember now. I think they sold them here for a few years until new EU laws came in. You can find them on ebay at least.

Gah. Tut Tut
Well done for completing it.
I do hope I'm still cocking my leg over at 60, don't see why not.
I think I'll probably still have the same bike at this rate, probably.
