Yep.

WOOHOO!:2thumbsup Class 6 Restricted licence, you are all mine! Now I can legally do what I have been doing anyway... Hooray - diminished fear of licence condition breach fines! No L plate needed, no daft 70KM/HR rule!:wari:

Sat the test at the Quay St AA. My tester was a gent of 75 who still rides his '83 Honda somethingorother occasionally. Nice to know that my tester was a fellow rider.

I passed with no adverse comment, even though my L plate fell off somewhere in Parnell:blink: ... (I can't say the idea of it being pulverised by tyres bothers me much)

At least I match Mrs P's licence class now. (she still bet me to it though goddamnit)

Anyhow, I'm off home. Time to go at a snail's pace on the NW M/way. Not much chance of a legal hundred on the way home methinks...

Bugger.

Oh well, there's always tomorrow, or the next day, or the next day...

Congratulations!
Pity about the L plate falling off :laugh:
Mine is only held on with a tiny bit of velcro, but it doesn't seem to want to fall off of it's own accord.
Oh well, only 4 3/4 months until I can sit my restricted... :wait:

edit: And maybe you should update your profile pic. I bet the bike looks much nicer without the L plate showing.

Too bad about the L plate.
Maybe you should buy another just to destroy it? :ar15:
