    Forever a Biker!

    Today I bowed to pressure from "she who must be obeyed" and went for the theory test for a cage learners licence.

    38 years very happily on bikes and I almost went over to the enemy.

    Well I failed.

    4 questions wrong, all of them car specific. Load carrying and towing.

    This is a sign from the biker gods that I shouldnt forsake the true path.

    Now to convince the missus.

    Don't do it man. If she needs to go somewhere in the cage, then she can drive it.

    Stay pure.

    Load carrying and towing are the two most important bits of knowledge when it comes to driving cars

    I mean seriously, who gives a shit? Certainly not anyone I have ever seen towing a trailer or carrying a large load on the roads of NZ!

    Just do another one, you might get a sheet with less irrelevant questions...
