The changes to the motorcycle test are almost with us. It's going to be the biggest alteration to affect licensing in decades.
We all know about the power and age restrictions and how it will hit riders under 24 years old BUT what about shorter riders?
With the new power and weight limits seat highest will preclude anyone under about 5feet 3inches tall EVER riding a big bike.
Now I know some out there are under this hight and ride big bikes, but your not on test. If you come against a bad camber you can take a different route - on test you can't
So is it too late to make changes? The chance is very slim but let's all try one last time - everyone get on to your MP, local and national news radio and TV, in short make as much fuss as you can.
If any changes do happen I will let you all know
Ride safe

About Me
- Top Run Motorcycle Training
- Barnsley, South Yorkshire, United Kingdom
- I'm a 50-something year old bike instructor starting my 40th year of teaching an assessing riders. Some say I’m grumpy, I say I’m its just questioning life. Over the years I have trained hundreds of riders and still get a massive buzz when a rider passes their test. The thrill of bikes and riding hasn’t got any less over the years, like most bikers, we get old on the outside, but put us on a bike we’re still 25! This blog is made up of my thoughts and observations both now and over the years, some are funny, some are serious, and some, well their just off the wall. If you have any comments let me know. Ride safe and free Dave.
