You know, I heard this a couple of years ago but know many who've ridden there without a license.
BTW, and probably unique to me... while I felt the Star School was excellent I didn't really learn that much. It mostly reinforced what I'd already read in books. I gained the most from the two days of practice with instructors following, and two fast laps around the track as pillion with Jason Pridmore piloting.
