Passed my basic handling test yesterday + first time on a proper bike - aweeeeesooommmmmmeeee feeling. I had a 100cc bike for the course and man, they are so easy to handle - turning, accelerating, braking...etc :2thumbsup
nxt up is the theory part - hoping its not toooo different from the one for the car :confused:
keep ya'all updated when I have my learners :Punk: :Punk:
:done:

congratulations!!!! I got mine last week. I had my basic handling course for about 4 months and finally got around to getting my theory done. I have an overseas motorbike license which I need to convert. I have to get around to doing my full, once I have made up my mind and found a BIKE!

F**ken awesome mate. If you managed to do the car theory good, you shouldn't have a problem with the bike theory, there are just a couple of questions that relate specifically to bikes. Not that it is a competition or anything, but try to beat 2 minutes and 47 seconds, as that is what I did my scratch test in (rather than answering the questions, I memorised the pictures and only got one wrong) It took longer for the guy to explain everything to me then it did to do the test. When I took it up to him, he said, oh dear, did you get too many wrong, I said nah, I've finished. :cool:
Anyway, good luck, and let us know how you get on.

Those AX100s firkken rock :headbang:
Congrats on completing the BHS Test. The Theory test isn't very hard, I passed it fairly easily. Failed the cage test because of the specialist questions :wacko:
I've had my cage licence for 3 months now, and haven't driven one yet :lol:

AX100's don't accelerate they just slowly gather pace (was gonna use the word speed but....) :)
Congrats dude... Well done!

Like demerit points that sort of creep up on you when you're not looking?? Good luck Alastabesta & pick a bike that will allow you to test & develop your skills without becoming boring or too 'exciting'

hey guys and girls
thanks for that. for the future bikes, I have no idea on what sort I'm gonna get atm, one option is to get something small (around 100cc) for 6 months and then switch to something bigger later on; other option is get a GN250 or sumthing like that and stick to it until I have my full. I have very limited budget (500-1000) being a poor uni student and having owned 1 cage already = empty pocket :weep:
edit> :angry2: all the 2003 and 2004 edition road code has been issued outta north shore library... /someone return them plsssssssss :sunny:
