Dont know if any of you know but Swindon is getting one of those big new test centres.
It will be located just off of Mead Way which is near the old Renault building and Clarion, just on the Marsh land that nobody knew what to do with.
It will be opening in August ready for the new tests in October.

This will also hold the the car tests as well.

least there will be one local to most of us then - some people are going to have to travel miles for their test!

You'd almost think they were trying to put people off motorcycling ::)

What out Gov do that no never, I do like Swindon for MB as we get to use the bus lanes and they give us free parking everywhere and have also tried to use the non slip paint everywhere. :)

Bus lanes that brings back memories I remember going on the MAG demo ride see pictures (at Swindons truck stop)

I think Swindon was the first town in the UK to allow motorbikes in BUS lanes. I will bore you with more info.
