Factory Honda BSB and Suzuka Eight-Hours rider Cal Crutchlow is now allowed to ride a motorcycle in the eyes of the law.
Yes Cal passed his bike test earlier on today and was immediately given a brand-new CB1000F by Honda. He said: "I had to wear a fluorescent bib and said, ‘you are joking?’ - it was like being a novice racer again, but I did what I was told and wore it. I was pleased to get my CBT at the beginning of the week, I mean, what if I had failed that as a Superbike rider?”

“I can honestly say that riding on the road being followed by an examiner was more nerve-wracking than lining up on the grid alongside Shane Byrne, Leon Haslam and Michael Rutter! But, I PASSED! And I only had three minor faults so that’s not bad either! I’m so relieved to have finally passed my test and I would recommend it to everyone."
Congratulations Cal. Mmm. Now don’t get any ideas about riding your Blade on the road, will you?
