Yeaaaaaaa baby!

[Metalor]

I JUST GOT THE FUCK OUT OF MY RESTRICTED :D



Finally....

[Radar]

Congrats!

By bye Volty?

[Bend-it]

Congrats!! New bike time... :2thumbsup:

HOWEVER... don't get complacent about your riding... in the grand scheme of things, even full-license holders have lots to learn!

[Cheshire Cat]

Another one. SHOT! :woohoo:

:banana:

[tigertim20]

Bonus! so when you pickin up that 09' Fireblade?

[Metalor]

Haha, sorry guys, I meant I just GOT my restricted (e.g "I just ate the fuck out of that pie!").... after more than two years on my learners!

But yea, hopefully soon it'll be bye bye Volty... borrowed my flatmates 2008 cbr125r for the test and even that was leagues ahead of the volty!

Thinking of applying for an exemption so I can buy a 400 or something... probably will be a bit cheaper than a 250.. I'll just say I'm really fat :P

Just do your time on the 250 like everybody else. Do a defensive driving certificate and you'll be legal on anything you like in 3 months from now

[madbikeboy]

Positive steps towards motorcycling for life, instead of motorcycling for transport.

Do the defensive, and find a mentor on this site.

Trust that you got your rego and wof issues sorted.

Well he has been riding for 2 years already lol :crazy:

It's only for over 25s where defensive driving will reduce restricted time to 3 months anyway.

[Laxi]

good on ya! :2thumbsup no more need for an L plate and 1 step closer to getting the full

Well then it's 6 months innit? What's that in the greater scheme of things.

Either that or our physics genius can do it his way and then start another whinge thread :violin:

Actually 12 months... Which is a year in the greater scheme of things.

He wants to try and get an exemption to be able to get a bigger bike after 2 years of riding, don't see what's wrong with that! Good on him. Having ridden his 250 longer than many others who have gone through the licensing process as soon as the time lengths are done.

Who's choice was that?

Unless he's 7 ft tall and 18 stone why should he be exempt? As you said he's coped OK for two years on a 250 up to now.

[caseye]

It's good to hear that you've got the licence out of the way , thats one of the three done and dusted, an exemption, well at least your'e talking about a 400 this time not some DOA big bore machine.
So I'm saying it's good to see you are trying to sort through things, but take those steps one at a time and see what happens, you may get exempted you may not, if not lets not hear any complaining, but try by all means.

There is no "should". He just wants to be. Who cares, it's not gonna affect anyone but himself!

It's 12 months with a defensive driving course - clearly you're not a genius. :rolleyes:

It'll mean he can get speeding tickets instead. It's not fucking rocket science.

Ok - he's under 25, that figures.

[Metalor]

Haha nice work mate!


Cheers man!

Even if I do manage to swindle an exemption it's not likely it'll change anything as I got bugger all cash :P

Nice to see you take such an interest in my endeavours Short Circuit!

[Mikkel]

I'll just say I'm really fat :P

Or you can at least say you're planning to become very fat in the near future - plans don't always go how we intended.

:rofl: Is that the absolute truth? Personally I only spent 3 months on my 6R... how could that be? :lol:

Because you're an old man.

As it says in his profile, he's under 25, ergo it reduces it to 12 months.

Clearly you're not a genius either.

No it doesn't. -Integrity fail.

Did I ever claim that? At least I don't lie to make myself look good.

[Metalor]

I'm 23... 24 in september. If it were a year from now the 3 month thing could be a go... but doesn't change anything, it'll be a year either way!

Were you over 25 when you did the 3 month jobby mikkel?


I'd even be happy with an old (but intact) sports bike... love cruisers but no point getting an underpowered one that has to be revved to shit shit just sit on 110.... can get a big on next year! (still have a little one in the pants though, HA!)

[Mikkel]

I was 26 by the time I got my 6L... Would have loved to have gotten into it a bit earlier than that, but anything to do with engines (2 or 4 wheels - doesn't matter) is ridiculously expensive in Denmark where I am from.

If you aren't too concerned with age and mileage you can get some very entertaining bikes for little money. E.g. I saw a nice zx9r at a dealer today at just under $7k. That's a lot of bike for the money.

[Metalor]

That's a nice price! Mate of mine bought a 2004 zx10r last year for 9 grand, awesome machine! I think a 900 would eb a pretty big leap for me though, if it were a cruiser it'd be alright though I reckon.

Just want a new bike, done my dash on mine, someone else can learn on it. Thinking of getting a legit job (ie non-cash) part time so I can get a loan...

The zx9r I'm talking about is a 1999 with 42,000 kms on the clock. Hardly comparable to a 2004 zx10r, if the 10 was well maintained and sold by a dealer that 9 grand price tag would be crazy.

And yes, I didn't mention it because I thought it would be a good upgrade option for you. It would be a huge leap.
