    I had a girlfriend sort of do that on my (half share of a) Vespa, except she ended up inside a shrub next door. Somehow she missed the 1.5 m drop to the footpath.
    Measure once, cut twice. Practice makes perfect.

    Every time that bike hit the ground I winced for the fairings. I don't know why the other guy wasn't concerned about that

    where opinion holds more weight than fact.

    It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

    I think that in the US of A you can get a bike license and learn to ride on anything (GSXR-1000, Hayabusa or whatever). I kinda think the NZ system is a little more sensible.
