    Probably about 1990, 21 or so. Perfect score on my test too! ;)
    I still think that knackered '84 XT600 was the most fun I ever had on a bike.

    1984, Northampton Mass, on a 77 KZ900. I was 18.

    The redhead Registry cop (with the big .357 on her hip) told me to do a figure-8 across the street (in a residential neighborhood), laughed before I was even 1/4 the way through, told me I'd obviously known how to ride for a while, and sent me back to the Registry while she put the other guy taking his test (on a CB125!) through the wringer.

    Sweatypants I am so smart! S-M-R-T... I mean S-M-A-R-T!

    samesies. 24 years old. 2006. rode for like a year and a half without it up until one sunny summer day a MD cop decided to chase a speeding biker at like 90mph with his lights off and hit a car in traffic shoving it over the median of 495 into oncoming traffic and killing the people inside.

    of course the coppers had to have a "public retribution" action plan for their own fuck up. so because his lights weren't on, his video was not recording, and they had no plates and no description other than "black crotch rocket." coincidentally... i had just painted my R6 black like a week prior haha. when they started profiling black bikes and pulling over every single sport bike at random and handing out sitations to make a statement (cause there's only 50 million black sportbikes on the road, smart idea fellas)... i decided it was about time to become legitimate.

    I, like Mr Turner was 14. The day I turned 14 actually. And yes, in TN you could (don't know if you still can) get a license for under 125cc at 14. 250 at 15, anything goes at 16. I ALSO had a KE100 that I eventually wrapped around the front end of a van. My leg is still crooked.

    17 years old in 1980 - Took my road test on a Yamaha RD350

    I was told to ride to the end of a gravel parking lot, turn around and ride
    back without putting a foot down.....after I did that I asked:

    "Okay what's next?" and the officer replied: "Nothing, that's it you pass."

    I still have the bike.
