Bye bye L plate

[Chickadee]

Well it's not as hard as all that after all. Passed my restricted test today at Meadowlands AA. I'll be interested to see what 70kph feels like now! :rofl:

Just got back and McJim took a spanner and removed the little yellow piece of plastic.:Punk:

[Donor]

WOOHOO!! Congrats!! :Punk:

Are we having a burning ceremony??

[mstriumph]

Well D:yes: NE that Gal!!!!!!!

[tide]

woohoo... yeah congrats...:Punk::Punk::Punk:

2 more months till I can do mine...

[Chickadee]

WOOHOO!! Congrats!! :Punk:

Are we having a burning ceremony??

The plate itself belongs to MSTRS and yungatart so can't really burn it. Lost my original L plate in the hills around Napier when I was down there. It actually did fall off....honest..

[Nasty]

Good on you .. now you can go with the rest of us 100!!!

We don't want it! Burn it!
Well done!

[Maverick]

Well done, the big boys will have to start watching in their rear view mirrors now :p

Mav :cool:

[MSTRS]

Well done, girl. May your restricted months be less 'interesting'

[Prof - R]

[Chisanga]

Congrats Chickadee :) Can't wait to do mine

[McJim]

Who wants a square yellow frisbee? Well done babe.

[Donor]

We don't want it! Burn it!
Well done!

Excellent!

I will happily provide a litre or two of Mobils finest!

I personally will be having a bit of a gathering for my 6R attainment day - 30th of April - so clear some space in the social calendar :)

Awwww, can I have it and put it on mine? :innocent:

[hitch]

congrats you lucky thing I still got 5mths to go lol. All the best :scooter:

[Theatre]

Congrats, use your newfound expertise to pull a nice burnout on it!

[Chickadee]

I passed on my RG150 which I was suprised at.:gob: I thought it would be too hard to keep the speeds legal enough to pass on the wee fiesty beast. In 2nd gear you can go above the speed limit too easily. However it worked out well, and Crazyfrog gets a big hug for getting me through.:love:

[gijoe1313]

Nice work there! Dizzam, I have to wait a couple of weeks before I can sit mine (in the school holidays!) - as usual, crazy frog pulled through for you! You ma'am, are now legal to do more than the 70 legally now! :Punk: :rockon: :first:

"must spread blingy bling before giving it away for free..." :doh:

[Hanne]

well done :)
Hopefully i shall be joining you in the no-more-L-plates club in not too long
(soon as i figure out what's wrong her and get my madison starting again! Probably not such a good look to turn up for the test and when it's time to go only be able to managea cough-cough-splutter-fuck-off from the ngine ;) )
Have fun riding 100, and keep safe!

Now now... Chick will of course be sticking to the prescribed limit of 90k's... I have no doubt...

*snigger*

Ah crap, not even I can take that seriously! :lol: :killingme

[Scorpygirl]

Congrats Chickadee!! Awesome to hear that you can now lose that little yellow piece of plastic. :yes:

I've put my foot down - she's not allowed to go any faster than I did today. :rofl:

Hey

Im looking at sitting mine there on my RGV.

What was your instructor like and where/what did you have to do.

Also what time of day did you do it?
I might be doing mine on a weekday at 7-7:30am or on a Saturday sometime.

Any help would be great!

[Mamba]

well done girl, one test down, one to go

[Rosie]

Good work!!
I've got my test booked for next Wednesday morning. :scooter:

[Chisanga]

I've put my foot down - she's not allowed to go any faster than I did today. :rofl:

How fast did you get white lightning down the back straight? Everyone was going about 60 when they got to where I was standing :)

[McJim]

How fast did you get white lightning down the back straight? Everyone was going about 60 when they got to where I was standing :)

I got it up to about 240kph on the back straight - there was still more room and the bike had loads more to give but I just didn't have the balls of steel to keep going! It's quite remarkable the amount of wind resistance once you're past 200kph. Farken scary until you get desensitised to it. Basically took me an hour of track time to get to the point where I would push it that far past the 200 mark.

I started the day saying "I won't be going faster than 180" to which people in the know said "Tui Moment"!

There were some topping 300kph on the back straight.

She sat the test in Meadowlands at 4:30pm on a weekday. Examiner was a lady biker and has given Christine some info on WIMA an organisation for women bikers.

With your restricted test it's really just a case of no riding like a moron for half an hour and you'll be fine.

That statement was priceless, accompanied with the look on your face :rofl: :shit:

I best be learning how to actually u-turn sometime soon hehe

gijoe: I know, I know.. I'm terrible and lazy :( Hopefully I can get a booking soonish, then Donor and I can combine the celebration that is the burning of the yellow card.

Preferably with beer.

But mostly beer.

Good instructors are easy to get - you can choose them. :rofl:
