Another one let loose on the road.

[Motoracer]

I just did my full bike licence test today aswell and it was pretty fun. It looked as if it was going to be pretty simple so I tried to make it a bit fun. I just kept the legal speed 109/59 for 100/50 zones and went around the 90 degree turns at the same speed but I gave him time to catch up afterwards. Throughout the whole test, I only scraped my toe once tho...

Came back and got told that I rode very well and that the instructor was impressed. LOL

Finally I can ride something bigger than a 250... legally!! :Punk:

[bugjuice]

oh crap.. well I guess contrats are in order then ;) well done MR..
not that it makes much difference to ya, does it..?? Just less of a fine when they catch up to ya!

[Sparky Bills]

SWEEEEET!! :banana: :banana:
CONGRATS!

:banana: :banana: :2thumbsup :banana: :banana:

[Biff]

:2thumbsup Well done

[Joni]

I was wondering how it went....

Congrats Sudeep!

:2thumbsup

[Quasievil]

Well Done MR, you will really be able to improve your riding now that you can go on a bigger bike, be careful though they are faster than they look !

I always worry about new riders going out on bigger faster bikes than the 250 cc ones they are used to so take care and welcome to the world of a unrestricted licence and enjoy the extra power:crazy: :crazy:

you kiddin?!?! It helped that MR knew the roads last night, but he was pushing the crap out of that RG150 and toying with me on my 636 and swanny on his R1!!
MR was on one of the R6s last weekend too, weren't you..?? I tried to keep up with you and the other R6 but I just didn't know the roads well enough and wasn't going to push it that hard :ride:

[Hitcher]

Well done MR. I need more news like this to cap of an indifferent week.


Stay out late tonight!

[Riff Raff]

Yeehaa :banana:
Now that we are "grown-up" bikers, do you think a celebratory pissup is in order???

[outlawtorn]

congrats on the full license...

ride safe... :ride:

[Waylander]

I ride the dirt, I ride the tide
I search the outside, search inside
I know I'll always burn to be
Remind me of what left this outlaw torn



And now I wait my whole lifetime
For you
And now I wait my whole lifetime
For you

I ride the dirt I ride the tide
For you
I search the outside search inside
For you

To take back what you left me
I know I’ll always burn to be
The one seeks so I may find
And now I wait my whole lifetime

Outlaw of torn
Outlaw of torn
And I’m torn

So on I wait my whole lifetime
For you
So on I wait my whole lifetime
For you

The more I search the more my need
For you
The more I bless the more I bleed
For you

You make me smash the clock and feel
I’d rather die behind the wheel
Time was never on my side
So on I wait my whole lifetime

Outlaw of torn
Outlaw of torn
Outlaw of torn
And I’m torn

Hear me
And if I close my mind in fear
Please pry it open
See me
And if my face becomes sincere
Beware
Hold me
And when I start to come undone
Stich me together
Save me
And when you see me strut
Remind me of what left this outlaw torn

Hear me
And if I close my mind in fear
Please pry it open
See me
And if my face becomes sincere
Beware
Hold me
And when I start to come undone
Stich me together
And when you see me strut
Remind me of what left this outlaw torn

[duckman]

Thats it .. I'm selling my bike and buying a boat!!! :yeah:

Well done sir.. :2thumbsup

[Motoracer]

Cheers guys and gals!! :)

Cheers for your wise advise Quasi, I will give buying the ZX10R or a R1 a miss then...

Bugjuice, Cheers man but Quasi is just being humorous. :)

crashe: I only rode by the book. It is only illigal when you go over 60 on a 50 zone and 110 on a 100 zone because there is a 10kmph allowance. Ofcourse they don't say that to you but they know it too. These figures don't really matter just as long as your are going along with the normal traffic flow and you don't go over the legal allowance.

RR: When and where??:banana:

[zeRax]

congrats dude, and yea, its perfectly legal to do 109/59 kmph :P cops are obligated to stop you if u do 10kmph more than the speed limit, as i read a broucher thing at the cop station today

[SPman]

The cops can and sometimes do stop you for a lot less than 10k over - so dont get too cocky, zeRax. "But I was only doing 54, officer! Yes, but there is a school further down the road !"

Congrats Sudeep. Does this mean you're allowed to ride real bikes now? - yknow - like ZX10R's and things?

[Motoracer]

Congrats Sudeep. Does this mean you're allowed to ride real bikes now? - yknow - like ZX10R's and things?

Cheers man!

ZX10R?? Maybe I can afford the 2007 or 2008 model in the future but at the moment all this really means is that I get to race in Paeroa for which I required A MNZ Race licence and a NZ Drivers licence with a class 6 on it.

[crashe]

MR,
I have heard that they have dropped the leway down to 5km over the legal limit... not 10km anymore as its been for a long time.

(meaning 50km leway 55km)

[zeRax]

*starts singing*
dont go breaking my heart~~~~~~~~~

maybe, but thats some hardcore enforcement stopping ppl for 4kmph over the limit :P perhaps if the cops having a bad day, i mean, he does have the power after all :P

[Blakamin]

Good Shit MR!!!!
you'll have to start touring the country so I can get to meet this legend I've heard so much about!!!

[zeRax]

MR,
I have heard that they have dropped the leway down to 5km over the legal limit... not 10km anymore as its been for a long time.

(meaning 50km leway 55km)

:\ they need to sort out info they are giving out down at cop station on the billboards then :blank:

(edit) looks like a job for those kb coppers to mosey on into this thread and give the whats up

[toads]

congrats I am sooooo happy for you!

[Holy Roller]

Great effort.
I'm sure you will soon nail those stoppies.

[soljan]

Its all done on error tolerance ie of the gear they use, which used to be 10% which translates to 110kph for 100 and 55kph for 50, the certified error tolerance for the the gear they use nowadays is now 5% so yeah they can do you over 105 now, and have been able to for a while.

The demerit points table shows for 1 - 10kph over the limit is 10 demerit points. Now after asking a cop thats a bit dumb pulling someone up for doing over 52.5kph in a 50 he said yeah well the community cops probally wont seeing it means paper work so you might get a warning or a light flash but the highway patrol cops, the yellow striped cars, are on a quota system where they have to pull over a certain amount of vehicles a hour and also get bonuses for the extra fines the write over a set amount.

To sum this up, yeah it sucks, but watch out for the yellow fullas.

[Motoracer]

Great effort.
I'm sure you will soon nail those stoppies.

Yep, all I have to do is understand why oh why do I start veering off to one side after it is already rolling along nicely. Once I get that sussed, I am sure stoppies can be pulled at any speed, wet or dry.

Blakamin, as soon as I put together a road bike, I am there man! Even if I have to come to Welly on a FXR150 that I have got that needs a new engine right now. It'll be awesome to meet some of you Welly people who haven't come up this way or who aren't into track days. P.S. I am really keen on giving the Rimutakas a go too!

P.S. Thanks soljan!

Sudeep, you never cease to amaze me!!
LOL, and here's me thinking you sat your full test only to keep the gestapo off ur back.
Well done!!
:2thumbsup

[aff-man]

Congrats man . Give that man a beer. This also means you can insure a bike that is over 250cc hahahahahahhahahaha.

See ya out there..

[Monsterbishi]

Congrats, although I liked the colour of my old licence better, the price you pay for legality I guess!

[bane]

ahh... only just got your full licence... that'll explain why you've been riding so fast everywhere - obviously always trying to outrun the fuzz.

I assume now you'll be slowing down :lol:

congrats - look forward to watching you at Paeroa

[stevedee]

Good on ya mate

[DEATH_INC.]

Well done mate.
I got told off for cornering too fast when I did my full....

[Two Smoker]

As i said in my texts, congrats Sudeep :niceone: !!! Its also good to see that my RG150 is getting some respect after being nana'ed around by me.....

Ooooooohhhhhhh big bike :eek5: :eek5: :eek5: i dont know man, dont think you can handle the power aye??? Although you have had some good training on the mighty RG lol....

Give me a yell when you are going to Welly (be it on your TZR or FXR....) as ill tag along... BUT if your taking the gixxer, wait till i get mine back on the road (which is looking more likely :Punk: )

Now time to terrorize the bike shops.... Remember, you are "looking" for a 1000 to replace your gixxer.......

I can't wait to get my full :disapint:

[loosebruce]

Cool man, forgot you were sitting that today, i sat my full on an RG150 to, front tyre was half flat on it as i was in a hurry and borrowed it from a bike shop in Taupo, wondered why i almost fell flat on my face going round a roundabout infront of the tester :brick:

Great so you can ride your gixxer legally now :confused:

[avgas]

Oh well looks like im gonna need knee slider for the next ride then, and ill have to stop riding in 6th all the time and chop it down a gear for the corners.
Good on ya Sudeep - i almost feel sorry for the licence tester :)
I take it theyre wernt any double yellow line, blind, lefthanders then :lol:
Good to hear youve got just as much to lose as the rest of us now

[Riff Raff]

RR: When and where??:banana:
Hmmm... well I'm on day shifts at the mo, so got early starts. Days off start Tuesday, then back to work on Saturday (again early starts). Makes it a bit difficult, but if there's a time when you're available let me know.
