Short Story:
I got my full licence today.
Long Story:
Booked it for Monday at midday... got to the test and the bike i was on had a bung headlight... $88.20 down the drain!
Rebook to Thursday at 12.45 in Orewa... $70.20
Find out the job interview i have at the airport is going to last until 12.30 on Thursday... Rebook til later on Thursday - yet another $70.20 :crybaby: :argh:
Get there today on SuperDaves bike... in the pissing rain, arrive soaked through... bike inspection "err your rego is expired" - $68.50 please
Got that sorted and did the test with it raining the whole time.
Finally... got the licence so i can ride the R6 without worrying too much about the Po-Po's everytime i go out!
NOW... which one of you bastards put a curse on me!? :argh: meh, just glad to have it!

Every Suzuki dealer including SNZ in the country knows that they do that. But there's not a problem, nnooooo.....and of course bulbs aren't covered by warranty. Sorry.

I worked with a guy last year who, through no fault of his own, had to pay for his full licence test 5 times because of circumstances similar to yours. Twice his car broke down and he was late! :doh:

It really is rediculous, paying a fine (say 25%) I can understand, but having to pay the full amount over and over is a bit of a con. If it wasn't a govt dept the commerce commision would be on them supafly styles.
Congrats on the full Gareth, when is your celebratory ride? Havefun putting some legal k's on your new baby.

Whaaa~ They should have passed you solely on the virtue of your bothering to show up under those conditions!
Great stuff! Now you can be legal (for all of about 5 minutes each day before the R6 has warmed up, eh?)

Sounds like you really want to ride that R6 - legally. Although from that story I'm surprised you didn't get hit by fish falling from the sky while surrounded by a swarm of locusts.

lol, well given the luck i had leading up to sitting the test i was half expecting to fail just to top it all right off!
Just a question, are you supposed to indicate when you turn around in a cul de sac?

Yes, I think so. I got pulled up about that on my restricted and that my head check was too brief! Anyway, congrats on getting your full despite all that adversity :niceone:
