My niece's boyfriend rides a 125 Duke on learner plates, but has little or no intention of taking his full test - he is saving up for car lessons which will make him more employable. Getting a full bike licence is too expensive a luxury, and sooo much hassle now. CBT, Mod 1, Mod 2 plus the theory plus lessons. Hassle and expense must put many young folks off.
The TRF are trying to introduce youth training schemes for road and trail. Is MAG or any other organisation doing anything?
