Chill Pills Needed for the 17th September!

[BiK3RChiK]

Booked and paid my restricted licence test today for the 17th!:woohoo: Feeling a bit nervous! :eek5: DB had me out practicing u-turns this afternoon... :2thumbsup: Looking good for then, hopefully!

[slimjim]

best to ya's........... calm til a cager pulls out and then show the officer a biker .

[Mom]

You will be fine! Seriously it is a piece of cake.

I sat my "full', if there was such a thing back in the '70s. Rocked up and had to do some figure of eights in a carpark. The cop wanted to know why I stood on the pegs? I was confused, I told him I thought that was how you did them...LOL.

Dont fall off, do obvious head checks and dont forget to give way! :done:

Oh and most important. When you get to a STOP sign, put both your feet down to show you have stopped :yes:

Piece of pee!!

Hey M
Good luck with your restricted. Could be /Should be doing mine around the same date. I'm looking at taking it to the next level and going straight to my full instead. Being somewhat aged and infirm I can do that. LoL.
:2thumbsup GO AND ACE IT GIRL :2thumbsup

[Number One]

Good luck m! I'm booking in for my full tomorrow....gotta get it and pass it before 30 Sept *nail biting smiley* I know I'll pass but I HATE tests...of any sort...academic tests, fitness tests, blood tests, pregnancy tests :lol:

Good luck anyway :sunny:

[BiK3RChiK]

Aww thanks guys n gals! I think I'll be fine too... It's just as Number One says though! I think it's the nerves! Haha

[CB ARGH]

Definately the nerves are what gets ya. I reckon it'll be a piece of piss (not sure - haven't done it myself haha), as long as you practice, practice, practice, practice, and then practice... and more practice, you will be SWEEEEEET AS!

At least you get to use earpieces these days. :love:

[Slyer]

Good luck! No more loser plate or 70kph speed restrictions for you!

[BiK3RChiK]

Hahahahaha....... What are they again?:Oops:

[Slyer]

Peace of mind at least? :D

[ynot slow]

Yeah the nerves,thank god they go when you put helmet and gloves on,you'll be ok.Just make sure the tester sees you looking in the mirrors(both)regularly.

Probably have more chance that the bike fails,i.e all lights ok before getting there then one blows,happened to a mate,lucky he was early and shot to auto sparky next door to fix,after that his nerves were cool.

[Imbray]

Sure you will do well, the test is easy, it's the nerves that are the problem, don't do what I did when I sat my full 2 weeks ago, I droped the bike:Oops: on the way in bending the foot brake lever to an unreachable spot, luckly had left home early giving me time to get it fixed:bash:., got there with 5mins to spare.

Make sure tocheck your bike over before leaving home, I had checked mine 2 day before, all OK. The day of my test my rego + holder were missing:angry2:, easily fixed if you know about it. Good luck

And yes I did pass despite the nerve & bad/good luck:scooter:

[Number One]

Hey M - 19 September is the day I get my full license :sunny: wahoo

[BiK3RChiK]

[Colapop]

AWESOME!! Congrats girl. Won't be long til big bike shopping is upon you...

[Slyer]

Good work!

[Cajun]

Oh, yeah! :banana: Passed my restricted this morning! What a sweet feeling...:2thumbsup

awsome there BiK3rChiK

[CookMySock]

hehe, nice work miss. toldya it was easy. ;)

Whakatane license examiner is nice bloke too. One of those dry mock-gruff fake-bad-mood types, with a good collection of jokes to put you at ease. A good place to do your test.

[PrincessBandit]

Congrats! You knew it would be a doddle didn't you, really.... I remember being nervous before mine (and my full) but after after each I really wondered why I'd had the butterflies at all. Hindsight is always wonderful - keep that in mind when you start getting the flutters again before sitting your full. It too will be a walk in the park. Again, well done. I'm sure DB was a big help too. :hug:

[Maha]

Oh, yeah! :banana: Passed my restricted this morning! What a sweet feeling...:2thumbsup

Top Notch What???
Take next Thusday off work , grab a bike and come meet us (oh yeah its thursday now, spending an extra day in Napier) up the coast somewhere :2thumbsup

[Number One]

Awesome BC!

Sitting my full test on Friday and feeling fine - bring it orn!

...hope the weather holds though can't be arsed with doing it in the rain - but of course I will if I have to.

[portokiwi]

:rockon: Way to go Girl. You knew you could do it....:clap: We all knew you would do it.:hug:Big Hug. Well done
You will be fine too Number one:msn-wink:

[BiK3RChiK]

Aww, thanks peeps! I was so stressy! LOL I lost a heap of sleep :wari:last night and the examiner made me ride all over town, including a hill start! I could hardly hear him through the ear piece and at times had to do the hand shrug movement so he had to repeat himself! :laugh: But all good in the end.:sunny:

Hey, Number One, all the best for Friday! :niceone:

[flame]

Fricken awesome chick! AWESOME!!! :2thumbsup

[Blossom]

That is so awesome girl. I am due to do my restricted now too and seriously chicken about booking the test. Nerves suck. Cant exactly take anything to calm the suckers either. Wish me luck. Hopefully I will find the courage to book the test for next week. Apparantly Pukekohe has a new testing officer and SHE is really nice. (so I am told) having a hearing impairment doesnt help the nerves either. I am so worried I would not hear the instructions.

Hey, Blossom! Book it... Honestly, I stressed about nothing! I now realise I could sit my full and get it! All the best for when you go for it... Some rescue remedy may help for the nerves. Also, tell the instructor about your hearing problem and make sure you do a radio check BEFORE you get on the bike! Honestly, I struggled to hear the guy and sometimes was doing the hand shrug/shoulder lift hoping he could tell from behind me that I didn't understand his instructions and would he please repeat! Hahahaha... all good though, he said there was nothing wrong with my riding and I passed easily! WHEW!!!

All the best, girl...:calm:

[Blossom]

Thanks for the encouragement. I know I should just do it and get it over with.. but I am such a chicken. :calm:
