So you obviously knew how to have fun....@midlifecrisis
I was always a Kawasaki fan ant to be fair probably shouldn't be a live from riding in the late 70's early 80's.
My twin brother had a RD250 I had a KH250 for the extra cylinder then on to my first Z the 650 that was a Good ride back then until I got my Z1000 and that I should have kept.
I saw an RD250 B or C on the road in the week; that gorgeous turquoisey blue heavy metallic. A rare site to see any two stroke these days.

ULEZ Compliant?
Hmmm....that gives me an idea....dirty protest of two strokes doing a tour of central london....the air will literally turn blue!Well I’d guess so, anything pre sept 1982 can be put on the historic register (end of 40th year)
Couple of mates had 250A’s in the blue colour, brother’s mate had a 250B in that dark orange/red colour.I saw an RD250 B or C on the road in the week; that gorgeous turquoisey blue heavy metallic. A rare site to see any two stroke these days.

No recent anecdotes but “indicators, indicators, indicators.” Remember to cancel them.So I've took the plunge and finally taking bike test.
Already done theory test (which was a bit weird but I passed it).
Had a couple of lessons to prepare (slow repeated figure of 8 was hardest bit)
Got part A and B practicals booked in.
How hard are these? Hearing differing reports. Any recent stories / anecdotes / fails?

Did mine about 30 years ago in Crawley. Best part was the examiner getting stuck at a level crossing after I had crossed it. Kept in radio contact all the way back to the test centre but couldn't see me. Passed. Much easier than the car test in Chichester back in 1984 where the examiner shouted at me for not stopping quickly enough on the emergency stop test but passed me anyway. Weird world we live in.So I've took the plunge and finally taking bike test.
