There, I now have my full motorcycle license!! Woohoo!! Just did my test on a borrowed gsx250 this morning, from the Tory St VTNZ station.

Only problem was having to put my foot down during the u-turn, which he went, "Yeah, not too worried about that..."

Great guy!! Now I can legally ride the RF900!! Woo hoo!! :2thumbsup:

[nudemetalz]

Excellent stuff, Bend-it. Now the RF900 is yours to ride and not Mr Plod's !!!

[Bend-it]

Yeah!! Now I can get insurance and know I fulfill their requirements! :)

Qn 1. What's the thing with u-turns? You don't actually need to do it without putting your foot down... Doesn't add to safety or anything...

Qn 2. I've always had problems with u-turns... do you ride up to about 20kph and do a quick one or slow walking pace one?

[Colapop]

Way to go Kev.

Hey, congratulations Bend-it!

Whats the point of the whole u-eee/ no foot down thing? I think it just proves a certain amount of bike control.

If you keep your eyes/ head up when doing a u-eee then your foot shouldnt go down.

Enjoy the RF mate.

Weird... Just rang Star insurance and they said, "Yeah, we're not that competitive on the lower value bikes (WHAA?? You calling me Cheap!?!? ;)), your best bet is Kiwibike!"

Disgruntled employee maybe? heh heh heh...

1 - Should be with your feet up to show control yada ya..

2 - Try this technique for U-turns:

Constant throttle at take off revs or slightly above
Ride the back brake - this helps balance and steady the bike
Control the speed by slipping the clutch
Keep the bike reasonably upright, use the handlebars to steer. Tighter lock = lean further left.

Just got off the phone with kiwibike... What a TOP guy!! Had a chat about biking, recommended advanced riding courses, coupla stories... Fully recommend!

[apteryx_haasti]

Cool news (even though it makes me jealous *counts off months until full on fingers*)

I've got my bike insurance through National Auto Club - they were way cheap compared to e.g. AMI - but when I get my full and a new bike I shall compare them to Kiwibike...I like a bargin!

[Bend-it]

Yeah, I was with NAC when I was under 25 and driving... Now have car insured under the Mrs, 'coz it's cheaper. :)
