Hey alancorcoran, Look here

Good post to you too, Easy, my friend. And you are right, it works both ways.
And to Alan, if you can't pass the test on the Big Bike, you probably shouldn't be riding it. And if you DO drop it, whose fault is that? Not the test's.
Maybe a rider should have to pass a test for each bike he considers buying, or if you move up into a higher, different displacement range, to demonstrate some sort of proficiency with it, before getting it registered.
That would be a little extreme but maybe safer for the bike.
