Passed my full with flying colours

[klingon]

Yay! Passed my full this morning at Westgate. Actually it was a fun little ride on a fine morning and I had a ball!

The nice tester man said he couldn't fault me on anything (he's my new best friend).

When I did my 6R at Westgate the woman followed me in a car and I had to turn when she indicated, but this guy used the head-set so he could tell me where to go. IMO the headset option was far, far easier (especially on unfamiliar streets).

I did the following:

U-turn in a street
U-turn in a car park with some loose gravel on the surface
hill start
Rode in 50k & 80k speed zones
left, right and straight through at roundabouts, give way signs, stop signs and uncontrolled intersections
stopping in the 80k zone, then merging back into the traffic and getting up to speed
hazard identification (just moving hazards - specifically other vehicles, pedestrians and animals)

Congratulations! Test doesn't seem to bad.. I gotta go sit my full some time at West Gate..

Woulda thought they'd take you down the highway and back but obviously not then. Well done :Punk:

Yeah I thought they might take me into a 100k zone, but when I was riding home from the test the Northwestern was so clogged I hardly got up to 100kph at all. I probably rode much faster in the 80k zone than I would have on the motorway.

Oh celebration, happy salutation! Well done that biker - hope you don't just ditch the trusty chew fiddy yet and ride it for a little longer before upgrading! :woohoo: :scooter:

[Lucy]

[crashe]

Congratulations Ms Klingon......... well done

I concur with the others....... hope you keep the trusty Volty and ride it for a little longer before upgrading!

[Okey Dokey]

[Blue Velvet]

Congratulations, nice that the tester couldn't fault you on anything :sunny:

Are you going to keep the Volty?

[klingon]

Thanks for your kind words everyone, it's definitely a good feeling to be a fully fledged biker at last :D

As for the Volty, I will be holding on to her for quite a long time, I think. She's an excellent, reliable commuter and I ride her over the bridge to work every day. I can also leave her in the car park at work without worrying too much - I would be reluctant to do that if I had a more expensive bike.

My dream bike is one of the new Bonnevilles, but I would need to win lotto before I could afford one so that will have to remain as a dream for now. :sleep:

Even if I had the Bonnie I would be tempted to keep the Volty as a commuter/run around/loaner bike. I also think I'm too sentimentally attached to ever part with her! :love:

Just noticed this thread. Well done with the full license thingy.:first:
That wee Volty is always welcome to pop down to the Waikato and schoomz up with Kannys.:sunny:
Gettogether at Kawhia late March, and a parking spot is reserved for you.:done:
(Bonneville for Kanny one day also, but keep it to yourself):shifty:

[Macktheknife]

Huge congratulations Klingon, well done!
All the best to you.

[heyjoe]

Well done on passing the big test Klingon! All the best for the years ahead and ride safe.

Awesome! Well done. I'm pleased you're another Volty owner who likes the triumphs! Once I get my full (yet to even book my restricted!) I'd love either a Speedmaster or Bonneville America.

[Insanity_rules]
