After an hour or so trundling around in the rain I passed my full this morning. Raay! Now, if only the weather would clear up :)

It is indeed. However, I was going to complete the great bike shed at home (not much to go) before rolling the trumpet out of Mike's garage and doing the usual "new sprotsbike" post along with the obligatory motorcycle porn.

So, I'll be hoping for good weather at the weekend then :)

Yeah.

1, Everything you need to do, and the difference between passing and failing is on this webpage here - http://www.ltsa.govt.nz/factsheets/59.html. Note in particular the requirements for going round a high speed curve (part 3 of the test). A racing line will get you a fail, basically, and not without reason either.

2, It might seem obvious, but make sure your bike is in good nick before you go. The testing officer will do a mini-wof before you start. Also make sure tyre pressures and chain are right. Tyres in particular make a huge difference to handling and general confidence. Well, they do for me anyway.

3, Calm down, if at all possible, and relax. But don't forget you are putting on a show here.

4, The high speed section may need to be run on something that's not high speed. Today, for instance, we did "corner good" on Brooklyn hill ... 50kph at the most (standing water along the entire length).

5, Head check, every time. But you should do that anyway. Riding home after work today a head check really saved my life. For real. I'd be smeared across the side of a courier van otherwise.

Think that's about it. PM any specific questions :)
