Surely a bike license is value for money no matter what the cost?
But, yes indeed, it is a very costly exercise for new entrants in to the hobby? Way of life? Addiction? Whatever you wish to call it .........
I think maybe the Auto-scooter thing will be the way to go for starters and see how that pans out. In fact a 50cc scooter will require no further form filling test taking etc. as my wife has entitlement to ride one with her current license having driven a car since 1995. Actually in 1995 there was more crashing than driving, but she's grown out of that now. 
I've never actually been on one that small so it might be fun to chuck a two in a van and head off somewhere in Europe, providing the laws are the same in our chosen destination. ( I think most are )
farqhuar - ah yes.......children. How those little bundles of joy do change your life ! My biking stopped with the arrival of children, can't remember why? ( money/time/both or barbie dolls??) 20 years passed in the blink of an eye. I do my best to catch up for that lost time in the saddle.
