Hi all

Ive just move to NZ and happen to find this website on the net, was wondering if anyone know if I can do the basic handling test without having my own bike...

Thanks in advance

I did mine in Hamiltron thru Passrite. They have a bike they use for training and testing. I'm sure other probably do too. Just ring around and ask :yes:

yeah, I would say most places provide suitable wheels for those that dont have any. You are sitting your basic handling test so, it stands to reason that you're not going to be riding a bike there without a licence. They lent me a little 50cc thingy..... it was so much fun.

Most places have bikes to hire, just ring your local motorbike place that does the course, or a bikeshop in your area, they will know! Welcome to KB 2!

Same here. They had a CRF150, made it really easy.

Riderskills (http://www.riderskills.co.nz/) also lets you use their bikes if you don't have your own.

Hi Nightlick,

I conduct BHS training and testing on the North Shore in Auckland. All of my packages INCLUDE the price of bike hire, so no need to stress about buying a bike / getting the bike to the test. I'll take $10 off the normal price of a BHS test since youre a KBer....I have sessions every Saturday morning.

Drop me a line - www.ridertraining.co.nz Just mention KB for the discount!
