    the thing is, here in switzerland you don't need to do practical driving hours before riding your bike (even though it's more than useful to do so!)…you only have to visit some courses and do a theoretical test and after passing that, you can ride bikes up to 27kw!

      ahh. seems easy enough. though i dont know how much is 27kw???

      though here in australia, or rather WA, since i already have a car license, i can ride a 50cc or less moped bike and take my lower class with 250cc or less without having to take any theory. though of course like what you mention it's more useful to take those driving hours.

        27kw = 36ps or 36hp 🙂

          very nice finn. though i am kinda looking at this. btw what happened to getting a car over on the other thread?

          edit: they change the rules in 2013. i think now it's 650cc or power to weight ratio. either ways. this is approved if i pass the first step.

                  Successfully got this from Minnesota to Baltimore, ~1200 miles.  I haven't road in 6 years (since I started skydiving) and I'm quite excited to get another full season in.  I've had that bike for 15 years now.

                      I like that cafe racer? Finn, just not enough power, need something more than a glorified moped

                                      Do shifters have a habit of making a permanent impression on boots?
