Passed my 6F!

[G4L4XY]

I attended the defensive driving course to reduce my waiting time down to 12 months and was eligible to do my license test today which I did, booked it only yesterday and I passed!! Yay haha

[sil3nt]

Awesome. Any plans to upgrade?

[tbs]

Great! Now go and buy a litre bike!:devil2:
Kidding..... Don't do that. I got my full a few months ago and I bought a 600 the following day. Started a whole new learning curve. Like you, I did the defensive driving course to shorten my time. The classes had absolutely no relevance to motorcycling. I just had to go through the motions. And the testing officer who did my 6F test had no clues about motorcycling either.

It certainly does feel good to get it all out of the way doesn't it? Any plans to go up an engine size or will you just enjoy your new-found freedom?

Either way, congratulations.

[pritch]

Excuse my ignorance, I'm old I don't even know wtf a 6f is but hey! Congratulations.

I'll drink to your success:drinkup:

I like to think of it as keeping everything in unison, not compensating at all ;)

Keep in mind that engine size doesn't always have much to do with performance.

[The End]

Congratz! Great day for it!

How'd you get a test so quick? I tried booking and I had to wait a minimum of a month and a half...

[nathanwhite]

I agree. All those 600's i've ridden go just as fast as my scorpio that I may as well just slap a fairing and some clipons on it.


If you think that engine size has little to do with performance then ill race your 600 on a S1000R. It's only a measly 400cc bigger and to boot was made by germans. Should have nothing on the mighty SRAD

Try riding a Harley 883 Sportster then an Aprilia RS250. The Harley should have more than 3 times the power, right?

within engine type. They may be both be twins but the Aprillia is a 2smoker. Apples and oranges.


And then harleys are in a separate category by themselves again. :mad:

I rode 2 Harley Sporty 1200s the other night. Impressive.

go have a pootle on a SV1000. 200cc less then the sporty but pulls ya with only 5nm less then the harley.

Then a Ducati, with the same displacement as the tractor gives you almost 50nm more. :lol:



So harleys are in a category by themselves

[pritch]

Maybe so.

I was talking to a Harley rider recently and he was telling me about this road that was just perfect for bikes, long and straight.

Tact is not my strong point, but I just took a pull on my beer and nodded as if I knew WTF he was talking about.

Definitely different!

[baptist]

Long and straight road......:sleep::sleep::sleep::sleep::sleep::slee p:

Congrats on passing :clap::clap::clap::clap:. If you do buy bigger don't go mad. And yes a 600 is heaps to be getting on with.

Keep safe and enjoy whatever you are riding, I mean I miss my Scorpio, a whole 225cc of reliable commuting machine that was still a lot of fun.

[FJRider]

Maybe so.

How would he get a knee down then ... ??? :scratch:

Gotta say when I rode them they seemed to handle ok. There not a twisty specialist bike but they go round turns well.

Not for max speed but I will be happy with one some time in the future.

[roadkillnz]

Congrats, enjoy the extra freedom it brings :).

As for > 600cc. I concur with SMOKEU. The apples vs oranges statement basically backs up his whole point. Cc's is not the only metric.

[veldthui]

I'll drink to your success:drinkup:

F endorsement is the forklift license:rolleyes:

[St_Gabriel]

That IS mighty impressive, pics or it didnt happen. A lot of people have problems riding just one...

[psykonosis]

Congratulations on getting your full. So was your full licence test only a 20min test? I'm guessing you would have sat only a 20min restricted and with the new tests in place the full would have been 20mins added the reduced time with the defensive driving it would seem you had it pretty cruisy :)

[baffa]

I had the same. The old "easy" restricted, then for my full I had 15 minutes cruising around before he directed me back to the testing centre. I knew it was supposed to last almost an hour, so was busy thinking what did I do wrong? It was far too easy.

[jimichelle]

when i did my motorcycle licence it was the road code for written test then an extra 6 verbal questions for bike then hop on bike
bike cop told me a route to follow for about 10 minutes back to office with the bike cop fill in paper work and dont ride anything bigger than a 250 for 6mths on your way
