Yup, she rode around in the pouring rain yesterday on her VT250 followed by Mr Plod.
She scored 100% and he said he was very impressed with her riding, in particular her awareness of the road conditions and surroundings.
She came home all happy. So we're off to dinner tonight to celebrate !!!
Looks like I could be in danger of getting the small bike when we ride now.....:scooter:

Hey, tell her congrats from us. Did she do test in Porirua? If so, did she get the Maori fella testing her? He is a hoot, bloody nice dude, really encouraging and calming. I always suggest to people doing their test to go out there and see him. He's a sweety. So we'll see you both out hooning about (we're in Nudelands too), pm us if you wanna hook up for a ride sometime. Is she looking at getting something bigger?

Heya Mrs KD,
Thanks for your comments
No, she did it here in town. Went up around Brooklyn and Mt Vic. She said his instructions were a little confusing at first but what was quite surprising is that they didn’t go back to the testing station to issue the new licence but at the side of the road once the test was completed !!
She likes her VT-250 but I think we will eventually get a new bike for her. We’re planning on doing more touring (riding to Wanaka at Easter) and something 600cc would be a little better.
But, yes, going for a ride would be great, definitely pm you for sure.
Look out for a blue and white ZX-10 and dark blue VT-250FG in Nudelands also.
Cheers

... has anyone actually failed, or are us bike people a lot smarter?

Tell her 'well done'. My missus tried to learn before we came here (we're Poms) but she couldn't turn left - only right. Go figure...........

Yeah that's Pete in Porirua - a really nice guy.
Very cool, Chris. Pass on the congrats to her...
Then surprise her with a new bike. (I know where her 'old' one can reside for awhile....:innocent: )

I personally think the minimum training you have to do is a heck of a lot better than when I got my full licence back in '85.
I got my provisonal licence the day after I turned 15. Then about 6 months later I got my full licence, all on my XL-100. That entiled me to ride a 1100cc bike...absolutely ludicrous !!

I sortta figured that. She says she's not interested in riding the big Kwaka but I think it may be a lull into false sense of security......:Pokey:

congrats to her, my wife has had her bike licence since 1977 at the moment she is commuting on the 750, it really cracks her up when she goes to the bike park and people stop and watch her get on and ride off,on the only one parked there that isnt a scooter.:laugh: :laugh:
