Think its about 80 hp or more. Normally it takes 8-12 weeks to get the license. I can start in december and I should expect to have the license in march.

Many years ago I accompanied a friend when he went to get his bike license. The entire practical test consisted of him riding one figure-8 around two cones in the parking lot while the examiner watched him from the step of the building. His bike at the time was a Yamaha Maxim 400. He was NOT ready to be in control of that bike on public roads but he did manage to pass the test. I rarely road with him. He was so unpredictable that I was afraid to be anywhere near him on the road.
I took a course that was two evenings a week for six weeks. Each session was about three hours long with about a half hour of theory and the rest was seat-time on the course. We used mainly 125cc enduro bikes. The course consisted of figure-8s, slalom sections, various intersections, obstacles (such as logs, tires and even an old muffler that you had to ride over at different speeds), stop-start on a slope, a slow speed section with an instructor there to count the spokes as they passed the front forks and a collision avoidance exercise where an instructor would stand in the middle of the track while you rode directly at him at about 30km/h. At the last second he would indicate which side you were to pass by him. That man had balls! At the end of the six weeks you would do a run of the entire course while being scrutinized by all of the instructors. They would decide whether or not you earned your bike license.
It's not quite the same as in Denmark but it's a lot better than wobbling your way through a single figure-8 in a parking lot.

That may be the way it is where you are (or how it is now), but when my kids got their license's as recent as 2006, the driving test was pretty inclusive. The only difference between when I got my license in 1972 and they got theirs was the parallel parking requirement; it was dropped. My wife failed on her first attempt.

Foxwell NT530 Multi-System Scanner...

...for when I replace my battery and need to register the new unit. I expect that to pay for the scanner, more or less.

I once had to write an accident report for a porta-potty blowing 367 feet across the grid and into the pits...with someone inside it! Lots of blue goo all over the unsuspecting passenger, who refused an ambulance. I had to use the distance-measuring wheel from the club's equipment trailer to pace off the exact distance, because I knew that my report would be making the circles at the national risk management office due to the freak nature (pun intended) of this incident.....

I needed a new white Brazilian Jiu Jitsu gi, so I decided to try one of Fuji's "Suparaito" lightweight gi's to see how they hold up. My buddies seem to really like the quality, so I'm giving it a shot. It is noticeably lighter than my Gracie Barra and Origin gi's. I also ordered a WarTribe "DarkWater" gi for comps and a "Reaper" for those open rolls and/or traveling; my Future Kimono custom no-gi gear should be arriving any day now.
