[Lucy]

Ha, I think that might have been the one I was on. Don't worry, if he had given up and passed you in frustration he would have just been stuck behind me anyway!

[Chickadee]

Congrats on getting your full! I'm getting my RG tarted up and then off to sit mine. Can't wait to get my full and be riding the 750 I've got waiting for me in the garage.:banana:

Got your next bike yet or is it on the to do list?

[heyjoe]

hey there,

Well done and congrats Tide.
It's changed a lot since I got mine in the 70's but I am sure the feeling for the new riders is still the same when you make it!

What is the process now anyway? I am sure it takes a lot longer.

Ride safe.

I remember the day we went on SH22 well! I thought you rode intelligently and rode to your own pace ... whilst I was doing Meerkat impersonations at the back also! :innocent:

So, you going down the "righto, time for bigger bike, give the ol'two fiddy the flick" path? :weep:

yeah remember SH22 well... was the 2nd or 3rd 250 ride I was on...

mmm as for the bigger bike, yeah, want to do some touring and the hyobag is not quite cut out for doing it... hehe... plus I'm not quite as infatuated with my bike as you are... :devil2:

am sure the feeling is just the same... :sweatdrop

[breakaway]

What's a good place to do the test? I'd prefer one with a headset so I can actually pay more attention to the road in front of me than my rear view mirrors.

[MGST]

Congrats tide!! I passed mine on the 26th. Great feeling eh! ..and yes you're gonna have SOOOOOOOO much fun.

I've been out test riding the 6hundies so if you haven't already check out this thread.

Can say Colemans, Red Baron and Holeshot have all been great to deal with.

If you're going to Holeshot or Cyclespot I highly recommend heading up the northern and doing this circuit. Nice sweepers up the hill then nice tight stuff. All about it's about 30mins round trip from Holeshot depending on lights and stuff.

Go Westgate I reakon. I did my restricted and full there and they were sweet. The hardest part is remembering the hazards in the middle part of the test. Don't do it at 3pm like I did though. Soooooooo many kids around!

I did mine at northcross AA, was good, didn't have a head set but the instructor stopped often so it was not a problem and his instructions were clear... 10:15 is a good time, nice and quiet... :)
