Video Rating: 4 / 5
Time is running out as its all changing once again, In January 2013 it will be “all change” with regards to the motorcycle licence due to the EC 3rd Driving Licence Directive. Unfortunately there’s no escape from this because the decision by our government at the time of inception (Thanks Tony Blair) decided to abstain rather than veto the changes, All goverments forget the biking community after they have been elected, they need to remember we are not one or two any more but thousands and thousands of potential voters of all ages, dont forget the next time you vote think, enough about that for now So if you have ever thought about riding a motorbike or scooter now really is the time. Get out of your car or get out of your armchair find a training school near you now try it you will love it. become a biker.
