Me too ! 1963, It was on a Raleigh Runabout.. I disappeared round the block, examiner jumped out at me for emergency stop and, after a couple of highway code questions, that was that. I could now get on my Vincent Black Shadow 1000cc and roar around the city, picking up chicks...............in my dreams unfortunately !

Are you sure you could take your bike test on a moped?
Methinks not. A senior moment?

How much !?!?!?

Sounds like they are now charging £15 and a bit for the CBT and £75 for the test...
Daylight robbery. How much is it for a car licence these days ?

Madux,
I don't thinkI had anything else in 63 but I could be having a very SM. If I remember, you could ride any PTW up to 250cc on a provisional and then anything after passing.
Maybe someone even older than me (you?) may have more memory cells surviving.
Borrowed a 125 Lambretta later and went camping, two up with a mate, to Abersoch.
I do remember that it had no woodruffe key on the rear stub axle and we had to keep feeding it with sixpenny pieces bent in half with pliers. Eventually failed on the way home somewhere on the Caernarfon road, dumped it in a farmyard. Had to get Dad to take us back and pick it up in his Bedford Utilabrake.
