    Feel free to do what you want. Sleeping in nature is also very satisfying. This is also my experience and I know exactly what you feel. A good sleeping bag is a must. Better than sleeping with all your clothes on. I have that experience too, hahah. Good to see you happy and doing what you want. Follow your heart mate. Maybe we will meet again. At the moment I am in Portugal. See vlog.

      Yeah but in France you can't take the A licence directly even if you are over 30. I got mine at 27 Think and I could take the A licence right away without having to take the A2 first.

    France is certainly a beautiful country. The morning view of the foggy mountains was certainly nice. That was a great camping spot and your ride through the narrow city streets was very unique. Nice of Jonathan to invite you to stay the night. His Indian is certainly a nice bike for riding around town and to work and back. Thanks for another great episode of your trip! Take care Kenneth.

    The regulations for the motorcycle driving license apply throughout the EU for beginners under the age of 25.
    first throttled to 48 hp. after further instruction and examination extension without restriction.
    who is older can do the A license (applies to all motorcycles)

    • @RidetheBean
      @RidetheBean  3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Yeah but in France you can't take the A-licence directly no matter how old you are. Even if you are over 30 you need to take it in two steps.

    It would appear that the French motorcycle licencing system is the same as Australia. You are restricted to a certain power output for two years before going full bore big bike. Shame about the fog, but what is sunny is indeed beautiful.

    • @RidetheBean
      @RidetheBean  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It’s a strange system… seems like it is purely a way to make more money.
      It’s not really the size of the engine that is important, but how you learn to control a bike.
      You can ride a 1200 for years but still have no idea how to ride safely… and you can ride a 125 and be an idiot…
