I failed my first m/cycle test on the grounds of "insufficient use of gears" I was riding a 98 cc Excelsior F4 Consort which only had two gears on a handlebar changer. I was outraged and when I went for the re-test I had the same examiner. I mentioned the previous failure and the fact that the bike had only 2 gears, to which he curtly asked "Is it a standard machine?".
Same course, same ride, same emergency stop stepping out from behind the same tree, passed!
I still have the bike 53 years later. Sad old gits rule, OK?
