Finally got my jacket sorted.
had to send the first one back, it was waaaay too big. Size M in the Teknic jackets, size XS in 1Tonne jacketsI guess it pays to read the size chart when ordering huh?
overall quite happy with the jacket, it's not perfect, but for the price I paid I'm not bitching.
Sat my BHST with Easy Rider Motorcycle Training, I did the slalom first go, perfect. the stopping in the square and the slow ride gave me some trouble.
This was my first time on a motorcycle (scooter does not count) and first time using a manual, I had half an hour's training and sat the test. I failed to stop in the square (under shot it) but was allowed to resit straight away, and got it. it was my own fault for not using the practice time to practice that one, I was having too much fun just being on the bike :P. the resit cost me $10.00 which was good, I didn't drop the bike so the bond more than took care of it.
there are very few skills that transfer from using a moped to riding a motorcycle, I'm glad I rode the scooter first but I'm dead set on moving on asap. got me a copy of the road code today and plan on sitting my scratchy on Wednesday. as for getting a bike? that depends, I have to sell the scooter and buy a bike pretty much straight away. I'm thinking November (end of Uni) so I only have to get to work and back while I'm without wheels.
if you've got a 250 that you would sell for $0.00 - $1000.00 around then let me know :P
