    Smile Full license test tips wanted

    Hi All,

    Have been away for a while. But been checking KB online. Just going for my full in a week. Have been riding on and off and i should be ok but can do with some pointers and tips to hit it off.
    I have been riding a bigger bike 2005 zx6r 636 and i will be taking a friends 250 hornet for the test. So have thought of getting a few hours on the hornet before the test just to get a hang of it. Test is in Pukekohe with AA. Anyone been here before...whats the route...for practice.

    Thanks for reading on.
    Cheers

    I was the same when I did my full...had been riding a 600 for a while and had to use my wifes GN250 to do the test...wobbly as bro!
    I think I took it out the day before to get use the lightweight power plant..

    I only did 1/2 the test..instuctor instucted me to go back to the start after about 20 minutes (thought I had failed)...the question was asked ''so what bike do you normally ride''?...I just said ''a Yamaha''...

    I turned up to my test on my 600. Passed too.

    Definitely do some practice on the 2fiddy, but don't stress too much about the route.

    When it comes to full license, it is important to get the right ink mix ratio. Also the press should be warmed up to the right temperature in order to allow the right ammount of time for the ink to dry. Ofcourse with the new technology avaliable these days license can be created using photoshop and then laminated onto the harder plastic in order to achieve the suitable result. If howev..................

    Sooooo, you think you're a competent enough rider to be unleashed on the public astride a 636 but you're concerned you might not be ready for the full licence test and want some pointers.

    This strike anyone else as a little odd?

    If you come around a corner and a poodle has just taken a shit right on the apex, and your knee slider manages to scrape up the dog poo (carrots and all). Try not to look at if (especially if you have a hangover), as the inevitable dry retching will play havoc with your abdominal muscles, resulting in not being able to grip the bike with your lower body. This will make you slide off to the righthand side of the motorcycle, whilst applying 89% more throttle. Which in turn will induce a highside motorcycle accident, and you may not pass the test.

    I think if he loosens up the Red powerband he should be ok....

    Not really, many maybe even most people have fairly irrational fears when it comes to taking tests. Besides, nothing wrong with diligent research!

    Good on #1 for getting themselves legal, I'm sure they'll do fine.

    Always such helpful tips.

    I wish I'd known that when I did mine. (Still not capable of getting my knee down to scoop up doggie doos on the apex of a bend; must still be doing something not quite right...)
