Got my basic handling certificate!

Contrary to popular opinion, it was hard work.
For those not fortunate enough to live in the central north island, it has been absolutely hosing down here. The bike we used for the test was approximately as old as me (and appeared to have original tyres). So I had to work very hard not to lock the wheels up and skid, even doing about 10km/h. A useful learning experience.
But that doesn't matter, because I passed!! :wari:
I'll go to the AA and see about my scratch and win test at lunchtime.

Nice one.
I remember in my '40km/h -> 0km/h' test I couldnt stop locking up the rear wheel. I was a mtbiker and wouldnt squeeze the front brakes enough. The guy said I could have the bike if I made the front lock up (it wasnt wet). :)

LMAO! Did you do the course with Andrew Templeton? Sounds like something he'd say!

[skelstar]

Skel, if it was like one of the GP125's I did my course on then I wouldn't want the bike :laugh:

[skelstar]

Hey come on pgtr! That was the bike a lost my virginity on (and hundreds of other blokes Im guessing). Was it good for you too? :banana:

[phoenixgtr]

Oh yeah. That "mature" machine was my first ride. It felt so good. Like nothing I had experienced before

EDIT: Damn, I would have rep'd you for that but it won't let me

[skelstar]

It wont let you share the love huh?...unlike that slapper GP125. She told me I was her first...I shouldnt have believed her but hey 'the the heat of battle' and all that.

I could tell she had been around the block a few times.:)

[phoenixgtr]

She broke your heart didn't she? She used you, just like all the others


Sorry Rosie

[.produKt]

Good on ya Rosie :)

Have you won your licence yet?... :D lol @ won

[Insanity_rules]

Hey Rosie,
I did mine on Sunday morning (At 8am!!!!!!!!) I didn't know there was an 8am on a Sunday. I did mine at Stephens Driving School in Lower Hutt (Wellyvegas).

I totally here ya about the bikes, I did mine on a Honda CB125 Twin that I think perhaps Gengus Khan might have done his licence on. It was so old it needed a grandfather clock to time a quarter mile and talk about cutting edge breaking. Real hard work.

Well I'm off to sit my scratch and win today!!!!
