    Some questions

    Really keen on doing full licence asap the waiting time has well passed, was wondering if I could get the down low, some advice etc please. What will be expected? Do they go Nazi if you just wear a helmet and gloves? How did you find your test?

    (I know..search bar and all but)

    Shyt my bad was supposed to go in newbie biker section.

    Why would you not want to wear at least a jacket?

    Are you ready to sit your test - you don't seem to know the legal requirements at this stage if you are asking those questions.

    Just helmet and gloves is fine.....perhaps a posing pouch too, just for modesty sake?

    Nah just curious, saw a guy wearing helmet and gloves doing a licence test of some sort thought it was a bit odd.

    The law is only that you have to wear a lid - they can't fail you if you don't wear anything else.

    Book a lesson with an instructor to give you a once-over before you do the test.

    Make sure your bike is legal (WOF, etc) and everything works (horn etc) and off you go.

    Do you lose out all your money if it's pissing down and refuse to ride in unsafe weather?

    Though I guess unless it's absolutely blowing a gail and hailing it'd be all good. But strong gusts are a bitch on the little fulla.

    Yep - probably. I doubt the testing guys will do it for nothing next time.

    I think the logic is "You should be able to ride in any conditions" - I'd be surprised if they didn't allow for wind gusts on the test.

    I was warned when I booked both my 6R and 6F tests that it would go ahead irrespective of weather unless flooding made any section of the road unpassable.

    I believe it will be canceled if there is a plague of frogs or a hail of locusts.

    Well, yes, but you'll have to pay LTNZ again.

    Agree with getting an instructor to check you out. The defensive driving guy who ran the course I did (to reduce my waiting time) pointed out a couple of road rule things that I could have been doing better.

    Keep in mind the person following you around will almost certainly not have a motorbike license of any kind, so make sure everything you do "looks" safe as well as is safe.

    Also: pre-arrange with the tester what you'll do if you can't hear them through the mic. They'll usually be fine with you pulling over, but make sure to discuss it.

    Lastly, don't kiss ass, but do make sure the tester likes you.
