My temporary restricted licence, that is!!!

I am now an "r" me hearties!

Sat my test this morning in Lower Hutt - great tester, he was on a bike as well, which was cool. We did a simple route, then turned around and came back. I got told I could go a bit faster and thus found out that my speedo reads 5-10 kph over what I am actually doing.

Now I may go 100 LEGALLY - cool!

It was really easy, dunno why I was nervous...

Stopped at my parents house on the way home to tell Mum the good news - we had a "cut off the L plate" picture and a nice cup of coffee.

Now I suppose I should go and study for my exam....

Yep - he had an oldish Yamaha of some description. He was good and set em at ease right away. Even though I tried to take off the first time in NEUTRAL. That didn't work too well, but after that it was sweet.

Now just six more months or so and I can do the next test - yipee!

PS - my bike looks much more swish without that yellow square on it!
:yes:

Congrats - i passed today too.
The hardest part wasn't the driving but following instructions.
And riding a CBR250 at 50 km/h
I was riding it as my bike has a bald rear tyre, he didn't even check that I could tell...

Well, yeah celebrate I did. Picked up my new boots from TSS and as it was such a beautiful day (well, as it wasn't pouring) I detoured up the takas. But something wasn't right and I didn't think it was the awkward gear changes. I thought I was just not warmed up so I turned at Featherston end and had a speedy run back up. Half way everything was spongy I couldn't work it out - didn't feel like wind normally. Overtake a car and I fishtail, so I pull over and that bald tyre is now a bald tyre with a puncture. Bugger!
Now I have to work out getting the rear wheel off and the nuts are pretty damn tight.

Well done!

You can shorten the time on the 6R by doing a defensive driving course thru the AA - I did that, and am now down to 4 weeks, 4 days to go :)
