Sounds painful :P Actually sounds more trouble than driving a car. And when you said swerve test, I imagined something along the lines of slide with a 'fake dive' to practice falling off or something, but watching some footage, it doesn't look that hard (easier said than done- sky diving's extremely easy to do, but you wouldn't get me up there).

Awesome!
Learning is a bit complicated........
If you do your CBT you can ride around for 2 years on L plates on a machine up to 125cc, though if you want a bit more power and you're over 17 you can do a restricted licence, you still have to do your CBT, but then you go through and take a test which will allow you to ride around on a machine of up to 33bhp (250cc ish) for two years, and then the restriction is lifted and you can ride anything you want!
The test is split into a mod1 and mod2 - mod1 is off road and covers bike control, emergency stop, the DREADED swerve test among other things, then mod2 is on road proving that you're not just gonna ride into everyone else on the road!
Here are the people I learnt with - I know you're miles away, but the law section explains everything pretty clearly so it should help a bit!
And more on Topic.....
I think we all knew that Spies was going to the factory squad at some point, and it's looking more likely it will be to partner lorenzo. Apparently Rossi and Burgess are not allowed to play or help with the 2011 machine until their futures are sorted out, which I think is going to be announced after Brno.........

Lin Jarvis (Yamaha team boss) has confirmed today that Ben Spies will be promoted to the factory squad if Rossi or Lorenzo leave at the end of the season.
That's so weird, I was checking out the process to get a bike licence. I watched The Lost Boys last night, and liked the idea of cruising around on a motorcycle like a beast from hell. Mixed with new found love for MotoGP, I really want to learn.
I didn't get what the site was telling me. Do you just do your CBT, and then you ride around with an L plate on (not indefinitely obviously :P)

Well done Chris we finally got you watching, there's no going back now!
You'll be wanting to do your cbt next!

Fantasy League looks exciting. Looks like I'm not gonna finish last :D Pedrosa and Melandri have done pretty well for me. The other racers, I haven't got a clue who they are.
It's a real shame, he was miles ahead of Lorenzo. Turn 5 proved to be a pain in the behind though yesterday, Pedrosa was just one of the unlucky ones to slide, especially leading the race aswell. Have to say I was rooting for Lorenzo to slide off somewhere.
Did you hear the commentator yesterday literally wishing death upon Rossi? They were on the giro cam on his bike and the commentator said "It would be interesting to see that if the bike rolled 360 degrees, would the giro cam stayed upright through the crash?"

Chris,fantastic start by your man Pedrosa yesterday then it didn't exactly go to plan did it ?.Thing is,this isn't the first time we've seen DP crash out whilst leading a MotoGP race is it ?.Shame though,as any slim chance he had of fighting Lorenzo for the world championship has surely gone now.I don't dislike Lorenzo,I just think its a shame he has effectively been handed the crown on a plate this year.A costly mistake for Spies but still an overall impressive weekend for the rookie satellite rider,I'm expecting big things from him next year.As for Rossi what can you possibly say,think that guy must get changed in a phone box or something !.
I see F1 sank to even lower levels again yesterday,don't know why anyone bothers watching it anymore TBH.
British Round of the World Superbikes is next weekend from Silverstone with surely a real chance of a home winner,really looking forward to that.

Well that was exciting for the wrong reasons. Glad Rossi got 3rd place. Not sure if Stoner couldn't catch Rossi, or didn't want to incase he lost 2nd. Still gutted for Pedrosa.
:'( Don't even talk to me. Was absolutely gutted when Pedrosa wiped out and I don't even know why. Oh well, I'm know rooting for a Rossi podium finish :D
I hate Lorenzo *full stop*
