A Golden Age
Laverda Dave:
Great video, the swinging 60's.
I took my test on a similar bike, a 250CSR in 1979. The examiners first words when he saw it in the car park dripping oil was 'Is that thing legal'. The bad start got worse when he asked me to read a number plate and I got it wrong! He gave me a second chance and I got it wrong again! He gave me one last chance reading a different plate, when he told me I got that wrong as well I argued the 'W' was a 'V'. He said 'I should know what the number plate is, its my bloody car'.....opp's! I still passed despite him trying to confuse me by showing me a picture of countdown markers for an unmanned railway crossing in the highway code question section of the test. We have a lot of unmanned level crossings in London!
I wonder if Mr A J Seddon is still an examiner, a name I will never forget (and he probably still remembers my name!!!).
Nurse Julie:
What a lovely old film. It's a bit before my biking escapades started. Took test in 1978 on a CD175 with wooden brakes front and rear but just managed to stop in time to avoid the examiner for a pass 😁😁😁

Dick Emery is sorely missed, it seemed at the time in the 60's and 70's that he was never off the telly, a very funny man.
Spitfire:
Now that surprised me I used to watch his programmes's and thought that with the passage of time my sense of humour would have changed but I enjoyed it and still ended up laughing
