Passed my Full...

[Blairos]

Hi There

In light of the recent sad news we have had to deal with in the last few days, I would just like to share a little bit of Goodness that happened me today...

I PASSED MY FULL CLASS 6 TEST! AND....

I PICKED UP MY NEW BIKE! Picture attached...

Oh My GOD! What a machine!

The test itself was a bit of a surprise, as it lasted a grand total of 24 minutes, and consisted of a cruise around the local suburbs, and a little bit of open road - no intercom, no hazard identification portion - kind of surprised me - but that is irrelevant now, as I have the piece of paper... :)

The new bike is better than I could have expected, its handling, performance, and overall experience is completely outside of what I expected - 170KM on it already (it had 400 metres when I collected it)

Thanks to all who have provided guidance/tips/riding experience (not sex, but almost as good) to me over the last 9 months - I look forward more than ever now to get out on the road with you all, on something that can overtake without too much trouble :eek:

Cheers! :ride:

That is a nice shiny new toy you have there, they do look very good.
Enjoy.

Cheers! - I sat it at VTNZ Takanini - dont think it would be fair to expect this to happen to everyone that sidles thru there :gob:

[Blairos]

Thanks! A Honda VTR250 was the previous classroom

[RantyDave]

Oh My GOD! What a machine!
Nice bike, man. Now, please, do yourself a favour and:

* Insure it.
* Buy crash bungs and
* Go gently, at least to start with.

Well done. Nice bike :)

Congratulations - so there's a future for us VTR250 riders after all!

good to know my 6R is still nice and shiny - luckily I'm a long way over 25 and won't have too long to wait until I can sit my Full licence.

All the best.

Well done that man! :drinknsin

[bell]

Great news Blair. Knew it'd be a breeze for you mate. Take good care of yourselves now. Do as the man said and buy crash bungs/crash posts. If you ever drop it, you'll soon forget how they looked a bit odd and all that. Give us a bit of a ride report/test ride write-up in the next month or two. Could be keen for one of these next year and it's always useful to hear real-world opinions. Well done mate. take care. bell

[Chisanga]

Congrats and show some respect for your gloves!

[WickedOne]

Well done mate and congrats on the new bike, looks awesome. Happy and safe riding!!!:scooter:

[gijoe1313]

On ya! You've joined the ranks of the biking grown-ups - and a new ride as well? Dewd ... seriously mondo kewl! Ahh patience was rewarded and you got shiny shiny stuff to ride on now! Keep it safe out there and I hope to see your ride around the local area! ... dizzam, if I see a flash of light and a roar - I guess it'd be you taking off around the twisties! :rockon: :niceone:

It was on the handlebar LOL - now I look at that pic, its not the tidiest looking scenario, but hell, I had just jumped off to get the shot, and the wind blew the gloves off :rockon:

Thank so much for the kind feedback - its a case of setting myself a goal 9 months ago, and achieving it, with a self-bought Xmas present at the end :yes:
For those that are close, or teetering on whether you should finish the job, just DO IT

And an unexpected bonus was having Terbang, ZRXER, & Dover turn up for a couple of ales this evening - nice one guys - appreciate it

:ride:
