6R: Note to self

[danielle]

Note to self, and whomever else is listening;

Always, ALWAYS check your WOF before you sit your restricted practical. DO NOT assume that it is correct just because the past 5 years your mum has been doing your car WOF so you've never had to deal with it before.

ASSUMEing makes an ASS and of U and Me....or maybe just me?

[firefighter]

Note to self. Maintain my own shit rather than have mummy do it for me for 5 years! :baby:

Such a girl thing. :whistle::lol:

[danielle]

Most proberly. But i am a big girl now and completly understand it was my fault and i neeeeed to grw up

[crazyhorse]

Does that mean you fail your restricted? OR did you just need to reschedule for another day?

[danielle]

Both, i failed because i failed the pre test on the bike, so i had to rebook for monday and pay 40 buks or something. Wont be making that mistake again!

[p.dath]

Hpefully your bike passes the WOF, so you wont have to rebook again.

[neels]

Bummer, vehicle not up to standard = $ gone, yes?

My wife did her licence test in a car with no WOF. Put the sun visor up after she had passed, looked at the sticker, oops that was lucky.......

Fortunately it was back in the days when the cops did the testing and didn't check that stuff.

[Thani-B]

Such a girl thing. :whistle::lol:

Not for all of us though lol. I've had to do the warrants for all my vehicles since I started driving/riding. I don't mind taking them in, it's when they fail for whatever reason that sucks.

[danielle]

I'll be doing my warrents/rego by myself from now on now ive learnt my harsh lesson!

[Number One]

Another take away thought might be that you need to ensure you read the conditions on any forms etc like the one you get back when you book in for your restricted which quite clearly tells you the conditions for being able to sit/pass the test. ;)

Good luck for Monday

[Genie]

You are not alone on this one. Knew a man , same thing, going for his car licence, no warrant, blamed the wife lol

got to check the vehicle at all times!!!!

Always, ALWAYS check your WOF before you sit your restricted practical.Yes, well that is the ethic of the biker - yes, thats you! :cool:

Bikers answer to no person but themselves, know their own limits, choose their own path, own their own feelings, and go where they choose when they choose.

Unfortunately, you have to think or live the consequences now - all part of the package. :2thumbsup

Well spoken.....personal responsibility and thinking before hand would make this world a much better place

Second time luckey, i passed!!! 100%


Not before i rode 20 minutes down the road until i realised my helmet wasnt buckled up. The nerves really get ya, but i pulled over and buckled it up. Im not usually as blonde as i have made myself out to be in this thread!

[GOONR]

Congrat's on passing!!

[Number One]

Well done now just count the days till your do 6F and you can go and test ride bigger bikes ;) Speaking of which there is a monster in town that interests me greatly :yes:

Nerves have no place in riding a bike love. I have only once ridden off with my helmet unbuckled, I was distracted by lovely little children saying good- bye to me, they were leaving NZ and I may not see them for xxx years. I failed to follow my "normal" routine. Absolutely horrified when I realised.

So please take this bit of advice from someone that has reasonably recently ridden off unbuckled.

Get a routine. This applies to getting on the bike as well as getting off. Same steps every time. Work them out for yourself. End result, you want to be geared up, and bike prepared before you swing your leg over, every single time.

Well done passing your test too!

Congrats on passing....bloody nerves, I find breathing helps.

Nothing wrong with being blonde....in fact the opposite. It's means your real!

There's always going to be a distraction. :(

It used to happen to me a lot until I went to a ratchet clip on my helmet, and then end of problem. Dunno why.. maybe its a head thing.
