Good gosh magolly, I got my 6F today!

[gijoe1313]

What fools these mortals be...

The testing officer at VTNZ Takanini, has just handed me my temporary paper licence validating me as a bona fide full time two wheeled enthusiast!

3pm I turn up.
3.05pm Run through bike check
3.08pm Start test proper
3.20pm Finish test
3.25pm I have bit of paper in hand! :woohoo:

So, after one year of riding, 82,000 + km of travel (68 thou on little ol'hornet, 15 thou on Daisy), 4 sets of Diablos, 1 chain and sprockets, 2 drops, 1 off, 2 low sides and a whole swag load of mates from KB ....

What do I think?

I love biking. :love:
Lots.
I really do mean lots. :love:

As for the usual route people follow, I ride in the opposite direction, will keep riding my 250s for a while, and will buy bigger bikes in March/April next year ... hopefully I will have 6 bikes by the end of next year all praked in the gargre! Sprots next to nekkids next to crusier next to motard next to... (you get the idea)

Now, I guess I can go riding after 10pm and before the hours of 6am :devil2: :innocent:

What... you say I did that anyways? :whistle:

Guess I better buy some more bling for the little ol'hornet now!

[Stickchick]

Congrats dude!!!! Thats awesome!!!!

[EJK]

I say now is the time for the big brother Hornet :D lol

[howdamnhard]

Congratulations,thats great news.:first:

[zeocen]

Well there never really was any doubt, I knew you would pass with flying colours. Celebration at your house tonight then !?!

[Rosie]

Woohoo :wari::wari::wari:
I'm sitting mine tomorrow. :calm:
82000 km? you'll be running out of new (sealed) roads to ride on. Thought about getting an adventure bike for your gargre ;)

[janno]

Well that was a close call, considering how little practise you've done over the last year. Must have been your lucky day, huh?

But seriously, well done that man. And good on you for sticking with the bike you've got cos it suits you for the time being. :niceone:

[deanohit]

jeez man, you've covered some distance!
Congrats on the new licence!

[James Deuce]

At last, someone with whom I am happy to share the road has a real license.

[Drum]

Nice work GI.

From your bike purchase plan, can I assume that you have no missus' or kids?! :rolleyes:

[The Pastor]

nice one dude, i too will keep my 250 for a long time.

[crashe]

Well that was a close call, considering how little practise you've done over the last year. Must have been your lucky day, huh?

But seriously, well done that man. And good on you for sticking with the bike you've got cos it suits you for the time being. :niceone:

He has to stick with the little ol'Hornet cos it matches his riding gear.
Even his helmet matches the bike.



gijoe1313 - congratulations young fella, you did well.:woohoo::woohoo:




So now confess to us....... How much did you have to pay/bribe for the license.
Out in West Auckland you can get a license for $400.
What is the going rate out in the south?:shit::confused:
(pt)

[Blue Velvet]

I'm sitting mine tomorrow. :calm:
82000 km?

Congrats GI, and bling for the distance.

And good luck to Rosie

:niceone:

[gijoe1313]

Nice work GI.

From your bike purchase plan, can I assume that you have no missus' or kids?! :rolleyes:

My mum is trying to sort me out now while shes in China! :eek5: Apparantly, the last time I was there, it got the wheels spinning :no:

and Donor is trying to jack me up with a local missus! :slap: As for kids... none that I know of yet. Nor any patrimony suits so must be okay!

I must buy as many bikes as I can before I suddenly come back to Earth like all the unfortunate male souls here! :sweatdrop

Apparantly, I am far too happy and content in my life and there are hidden powers with agendas to change all that... Must... buy... more.... bikes.....

[EJK]

Alright Justin! now go under "Club 250" and write a thread saying "Newbie Noob Ride Vol. 2" lol

[RantyDave]

Must... buy... more.... bikes.....
Good man! Bigger bike while your life is your own!

Dave

[yungatart]

Woohoo!!!
gotta love that man...you are an inspiration for sure.

[gijoe1313]

nice one dude, i too will keep my 250 for a long time.

I keep all my things I buy... the little ol'hornet will be ridden into the hundred thousands of kays ... and when it can ride no more, I will bling it up and have it as a 1:1 scale model in my living space.

I won't have any "I wish I never got rid of it" on my conscience! Daisy/Daphne/Dandi will all stay in the harem as well! And any sprotsbikes I get will get the big spanish archer like any normal bike (and adventure ... and MX ... and... )

[gijoe1313]

Good man! Bigger bike while your life is your own!

Dave

Thank you for buying into my closed loop fantasy and encouraging my peculiar brand of madness! :msn-wink:

Hehe, watch out for my next riding outfits when I get my next bikes ... Kawa green = Boba Fett
Yama yellow = Pikachu (actually...no...only on a toy run)
etc etc

As for the licence, I paid the princely sum of $115 and a goofy smile to the tester! :sweatdrop

Chur $400 for Westies? No wonder they are considered hicks! :msn-wink:

[DMNTD]

Good onya Justin...mate you have to be one of the "ride-iest" motorcyclists I know.

[crashe]

Hehe, watch out for my next riding outfits when I get my next bikes ... Kawa green = Boba Fett
Yama yellow = Pikachu (actually...no...only on a toy run)
etc etc

Oh we want to see pictures of the next lot of riding outfits..... pre-worn minus the ummmmm holes etc...:wari::whistle:

[gijoe1313]

Good onya Justin...mate you have to be one of the "ride-iest" motorcyclists I know.

And you sir, are one of the most out of it motorcyclists I know of! You are an inspiration to me! (wait.... does that sound right?)

Will be a while before I can twist the wrist and lean the machine as I saw you that fine day on the Kaimais ... pure poetry that was and fair took my breath away (now I sound like Celine Dion :doh: :thud:)

[Macktheknife]

Huge congratulations mate, well done.
82,000 kms huh? in a year?
An average of 224.65 km's per day!
If only we could all be so lucky.

Good luck dodging the marriage intentions too mate, Mothers have a way of stitching you up.

Yes, I was on target for 96000km, but mothers have a way of putting brakes on! :lol: I think she wanted me to stop long enough to introduce girls to me ... I told her "if they want to settle down with me, they better be riding alongside!" :lol:

Wait, you did the maths on that? No wonder I'm an Englisk teacher! I prefer to ride with the poetry of motorcycling rather than reduce it to numbers :lol: (wait, I did that in my first post! :doh:)

[janno]

I keep all my things I buy...


Word of advice me laddie - never, ever visit a knock shop. Wanting to keep everything you buy could get you in to trouble there.

[gijoe1313]

Oh we want to see pictures of the next lot of riding outfits..... pre-worn minus the ummmmm holes etc...:wari::whistle:

Ask zeocen, he's seen a precursor to my green kawa bike gear (hmmm a green ninja for a ninja?)

[Mr Merde]

Nice one mate.

Now you can start to learn to ride. Especially now you can actually go faster than 70kph.


Did you get the engine and stuff for Daisy etc. What are they like?

Yep, got the race spec 250 LC engine, it'll slot into the RZ frame no probs, but it will be for Daphne first, trackday and racing bike for the near future. Dandi will be the bling girl and be a RZ250 without compare! :lol: The chap I met up with has been racing them for the last 18 years, won heaps of races in UK and he'll be helping me get into getting it all set up for racing! :niceone:

Man, I love my little two strokers!

Thats sweet mate. A race prep engine and an experienced helper as well. You would fall in sh*t and come up smelling of roses wouldnt you.

I will have to pop round some time to see these lovely ladies who have so much attention.

Tell your mum you already have too many women in your life so stop looking.

[Trudes]

Well done Justin!!!

[Mom]

What fools these mortals be...




Specially if they dont ride motorcycles........LOL Congratulations!!! :clap:

Now the real fun begins.......what bike to buy? I see you already have plans so perhaps the question should be... What bike to ride today?

[zeocen]

Ask zeocen, he's seen a precursor to my green kawa bike gear (hmmm a green ninja for a ninja?)

Hearing a high pitched inline four ride up my driveway, opening the garage door to boba fett (or whatever, star wars is gay) was a bit of a suprise, I must admit.

[MidnightMike]

Congrats Justin, sounds like you'll be buying a bigger bike around the same time as I will next year, great to hear you'll be keeping the hornet for a while longer and pootling past the 100,000 km mark on her.

Im guessing you'll be keen on a 250 coro loop on Dec 1 then? (will be putting up a thread soon)

[Colapop]

Chicken Wing King Better make some of the next 80,000 k down this way! Way to go Jus..

[Xaria]

Congratulations.

[klyong82]

Congrats Justin. So I guess you are looking forward to buy the CB900 Hornet? :rolleyes:

[EJK]

Congrats Justin. So I guess you are looking forward to buy the CB900 Hornet? :rolleyes:

Thats what I'm sayin~ lol :laugh:
I bet hes gone to the dealers now lol

[discotex]

Congrats mate. One would have thought it'd just be a formality with the amount of k's you cover. Really wish I had the time to get out and about like you mate.

[discotex]

Congrats Justin. So I guess you are looking forward to buy the CB900 Hornet? :rolleyes:

One would assume it'd be named the big ol'hornet :yes:

[Trudes]

Congrats mate. One would have thought it'd just be a formality with the amount of k's you cover. Really wish I had the time to get out and about like you mate.

School teachers eh!!!!:dodge:

[Donor]

Congrats little fella!

And by the way, Monday week, you and I are off to a BBQ dinner to meet a certain someone *cough*

For the rest of the KB crew - keep the comments coming, once he gets back from Tauranga tonight, he'll be sure to catch up!

[oldguy]

congratulation mate, well done, :niceone:

[chanceyy]

congrats Justin .. well done mate :niceone:

[Matt_TG]

and here's another "Well Done". It's so much nicer having a blue licence too rather than a yellow one!

[kiwifruit]

meat pack 10,000
GREAT SUCCESS

[Northpoint]

Nice 1 mate!

[discotex]

and here's another "Well Done". It's so much nicer having a blue licence too rather than a yellow one!

Crap... I have to get the 1F as well before I can get the trendy blue one.

Had 1R for almost 14 years haha. At this rate it'll be 14 years to get 1F vs 9 months for my 6F.

[Lteejay]

Guess I better buy some more bling for the little ol'hornet now!

Ya gotta celebrate and what better way than bling for the little hornet.

Congrats Justin

[justsomeguy]

Ooh didn't know they gave bloody Azeans a license........:shifty:

But I thought you were maaoureee? So home come you got the bike on the dole???<_<

Just jokin J. You know I wish I had a bike too so we could riding from Mission Bay to Pakuranga or Wellington whichever comes next.:laugh:

Congrats mate :)

Here's to another 82,000kms:niceone:

[DMNTD]

Here's to another 82,000kms:niceone:

Well the mad man has just added another fair wack to that as he's just left my house after going out for a wee pootle via Kopu, Whangamata,Tauranga and now back to Auckland via the alternate route...which ever that may be this time :rolleyes:
Mucho respecto Justin

[zeocen]

I don't know what he's eating but I need some of it, the man has enough energy that could charge the greater part of Auckland. A ride like that on a 'school night' and will still get up to teach a class tomorrow like it ain't no thang.

He's got an ancient chinese secret and I'm going to damn well find out what it is.:shifty:

[H00dz]

wicked !!!

Norfland Congratulates you :headbang:

sit mine on Thursday, thought I'd better lol

[Donor]

Crap... I have to get the 1F as well before I can get the trendy blue one.

DAMN!

I've been ripped off - passed my full and the swindling buggers sent me a GREEN licence!

:lol:

Blue = 6L
Yellow = 6R
Green = Freedom!

[H00dz]

All good bro...I made sure that the Norfland Crew showed honourable respect :doobey:


ABOSOLUTELY !!! :headbang

[Blue Thunder]

DAMN!

I've been ripped off - passed my full and the swindling buggers sent me a GREEN licence!

:lol:

Blue = 6L
Yellow = 6R
Green = Freedom!

Was there some other color that you maybe wanted like PINK?????:lol:

[Minnie]

congrats Justin.....:niceone:

[McJim]

Hey Justin dude! Congratulations! Are you gonna kill them two fiddies with mileage then?

Make sure you get a ferry ticket and come to visit the Catlins once you've got your large capacity ride.

Well done - here's to not binning on a corner in Ardmore, not sliding off Twilight Road and not low siding on SH22 in the next 82,000km!

See ye soon laddie.

[Chickadee]

Awesome news buddy! Congrats and what a cushy number. You must have exuded biking excellence from the moment the examiner saw you. Now I've got to WOF the frog and book my test. Here's hoping for a cushy test for me too!

[McDuck]

Congrats...

[gijoe1313]

:gob: Crikey! Thanks for all the well wishers peeps! I've just got back in the door from doing the mini coro loop and visiting DMNTD and Unit in their neck of the woods (I coulda swear I heard banjos...) ... I went back via the Kaimais and along to the 'Tron and back up to home base.

Had a feed at the Lone Star and stone the flipp'n crows if'n DMNTD didn't know where it was! Nice photo exhibition down by the waterfront as well.

I was a bit wary of DMNTD and his "new age" ways. But, he convinced me he was as crazy as ever by talking bike stuff ... between him and Unit, the gargre is praked full of sprotsbike! Had a sit on some his bikes, and being the easy bike slut that I am, I love them! :love:

Damn, I still feel like riding ... :sweatdrop :ride: :scooter:

Oh well, there's always tomorrow ...

[gijoe1313]

Whaddya mean? I'm riding around the whole of the South Island on the little ol'hornet! Larger capacity bike psh! :lol:

I have you know that it was a good quality bin in Ardmore with The_Dover, a planting of Hondaberries in Twilight and Rattling off a Corner in Raglan!

For my next trick, I will ride bikes of diminishing cc's whilst still keeping the milage up! :shifty:

Eventually I will end up riding NZ on a minimoto...

[gijoe1313]

and here's another "Well Done". It's so much nicer having a blue licence too rather than a yellow one!

I think Pikachu prefers the Yellow one! But then again, Squirtle will be happy! Gotta catch 'em all!

[pritch]

hopefully I will have 6 bikes by the end of next year all praked in the gargre! Sprots next to nekkids next to crusier next to motard next to...

That makes teachers appear to be overpaid, and if you also have the time to ride that lot, underworked :whistle:

[gijoe1313]

That makes teachers appear to be overpaid, and if you also have the time to ride that lot, underworked :whistle:

Make that ... no kids, no wife, no mortgage! Work frikk'n hard in your classes and get the kids to self-mark... plus its a good incentive to ensure I have the time to ride by having it all done toot sweet!

But then, as everyone knows, I tend to do things a lot differently to other people! Its always funny when the kids ask

"sir, where did you ride yesterday?"

"Oh, Tauranga/Whangarei/Hamilton/Raglan/etc etc"
"When?"
"Oh, 5.30pm... after I left school"
"???"
"See kids, when you ain't married with kids, no mortgage, you can do as you please ... see how your parents are? Slaving their guts out so they can put your sorry arses in front of me. You better appreciate them, 'cause I appreciate it when I ride away from you lot!"

"......."

Wicked cool. Playing with the kids is like a cat playing with a mouse its dropped in the bath. Cruel, but entertaining! :devil2:

Only until your mother finds you a suitable mate. Then you're toast.

Justin stuck at home doing all the household stuff and looking after the kids. What a picture.

Justin stuck at home doing all the household stuff and looking after the kids. What a picture.

:gob: What!!? I thought you were my mate! :weep: I think my vision will have to clean that up a bit by :

"Stuck on a bike with his missus haring ahead on a brand new ride whilst he plonks along on his little ol'hornet, baby seat on the back and the washing drying on the 'zorsts..." :wacko:

I think I felt a cold shiver run down my spine...

(I'm like a pokemon, gotta catch 'im first!)
