Valid Licence?

[Dan4]

Hello everyone from a new member returning the motorcycling after a break of nearly 40 years. Excuse me for going straight in with a question. I have an old green paper licence that says it permits me to ride A classification bikes (I passed the motorcycle test in 1975). Is it still valid or do I need to take further test/s? Thanks, Dan.

If you have passed the full test, and with the age if your test it will be, then you don't need any further tests. But no harm joining a riding school for some refresher training. 

 

And make sure you take a copy of your licence if you send it off for renewal as it's not unknown for motorcycle categories to get removed in the process.
