I got my motorcycle licence in 1967, about 6 months after my driver's licence. I used a Honda 50 Cub scooter for the road test. No written test, just the lamest, shortest road test. They were just introducing radio equipped helmets. The tester, following in a car, would tell you where to go. That day the radio helmet wasn't working, so the tester said 1 honk for left, 2 honks for right. I lost him after the first traffic light, went back to the parking lot in 30 seconds, and he showed up shortly thereafter. He said "it looks like you know what you're doing, go inside and get your motorcycle licence." I never looked back.
