YAY
Sat my full licence this morning at Orewa, instructor wasn't the friendliest guy, but guess he's not paid to be friendly, he's paid to make sure I'm a competent rider.
Anyway, for those of you who want to know, it went like this.....
Standard bike check, all ok :)
Drove off, did radio check, ok, not the best quality, and he spoke to soon more often than not so i missed the first few split seconds of all his radio broadcasts....made it a little difficult.
Map of route for first part here......http://maps.google.co.nz/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=12+Florence+Ave,+Orewa+0931&daddr=95+Centreway+Rd,+Orewa+0931+to:Moana+Ave+to: keith+morris+lane+to:cammish+lane+to:doment+cres+t o:13+melanie+place+to:doment+cres+to:Centreway+Rd, +Orewa+0931&geocode=FTTA0f0d0ptpCin79obxBiQNbTFBVIQfJczOFg%3BF ee50f0diZdpCiljUvC0ByQNbTGQPeg9q1hUnA%3BFb650f0d_5 lpCg%3BFR230f0dqZ5pCinhqjNrBiQNbTE0s7zBdQl_fA%3BFU Oz0f0dlqBpCim9lssEBiQNbTHVoUYw3FQJ8Q%3BFQez0f0dAJF pCikNuVkPCCQNbTE4CY1s6SlK1g%3BFT6u0f0dzI5pCimZTnUh CCQNbTH3ec9NXycWGw%3BFQez0f0dAJFpCikNuVkPCCQNbTE4C Y1s6SlK1g%3BFfu40f0dT5dpCilVEnw_BiQNbTFscAWfP1_nzg&hl=en&mra=pe&mrcr=6&via=2&sll=-36.587269,174.692175&sspn=0.027912,0.066047&ie=UTF8&z=17

then basically did the same, but at intersection of doment cres and centreway rd, turned right onto centreway rd, pulled over and described hazards at that intersection.......cheeky instructor asked where the pedistrians and dog were....THERE WERENT ANY PEDS OR DOGS!! :angry:
then we went for a wee ride to waiwera and back, and that was it....
was really nervous, but didnt need to be...except when i ran an orange light :shit: but he let me off it... :P lucky lucky.....
so I am now fully licenced and can finally ride the 900 hiding in my garage legally ;)

What, no U turn, it ain't a proper licence if you didn't do a U turn, take it back.

Congrats ! Just got mine as well.. 6L -> 6F in a week. Shortest. time. ever. ;p Though I cheated and converted an overseas :)

If anyone cares, the fellow up at the Bowling Club / Mt Vic is fantastic, has a radio. Highly recommended.

Think I got the same guy when doing my 6R, had a chat to him afterwards and was ok, just comes across a bit of a dick during the test. I had a lot of trouble hearing him clearly on the Intercom too.

Oh yeah, congrats :D
