Ok I have another question...
Is there any point in getting frame sliders as a noob? will they save the fairings at all if/when the drop does happen?
Am already keen to do a few mods/tidy ups. Get some flush indicators and get aftermarket rear taillight etc.
AND NEED TO GET SOME KIND OF CARRY BAG/ PANNIER FOR UNI!!!! the bigger the better so i can leave my jacket and pants in it when im at uni

Personally I would focus more on staying upright than dropping it. But thats just me.

agree, ride inside your skill till you get use to it, then only push a little bit at a time.Personally I would focus more on staying upright than dropping it. But thats just me.
Back packs can hold more than you think if you pack them right.

I will go for a ride with you if you like, when you are legal

I'm sure you should pass the BHS. Because honestly, if I can pass it then almost anyone else should be able to too... JMHO!Handling booked for tuesday night and learners on wednesday... so will be legal unless i've forgotten the road code and havent learnt the specialist questions... or the handling test is strict as hell..
But should be good
As for the learners. Dude, study, study, study, really. I only studied overnight but if I hadn't of, I wouldn't have passed for sure. There's some really random shit in there and some of the things where I KNEW the answer but the wording caught me out and made me second guess myself, but because I had studied I still got it.
The following links are invaluable. Particulary 3 and 4.

4. http://www.drivingtests.co.nz/roadcode/motorbike/
You could go into it and not study and hopefully pass, I just basically didn't want to waste however much it cost me PLUS my time if I failed. Also not having my licence I wasn't able to get insurance for my bike and gear and not having a licence would mean that I am missing the fine weather we're having in which I could be riding!

Yeah they tried to con me into doing a "refresher" test before my bhs for extra $$....
And for the learners, i have the roadcode and ive done that drivingtest online quiz thing countless times. All straight forward, just needed to learn the specialized questions... But definately studying every night this week... cant really justify winging it and possibly failing! haha

I couldn't say whether or not the refresher is worth it because I don't know anything about your level of "expertise". But for me I had at least an hours lesson before I sat my test because I quite literally had never really even sat on a bike before or.. even turned one on (I had to be shown how!) and I knew nothing of gear changing and shit and am uncoordinated as f*ck. It's a bloody miracle that I passed, honestly.

My experience is all to do with dirtbikes and old farm bikes, so handling shouldnt be an issue. Already went for a ride and smoothly got up to 5th gear going 80 or so kmph

You should be fine there are differences between the two when it comes to how they handle but I'm sure you will figure that out :-)

Good luck for your BHS tonight Cam. Though, I am sure you won't need it (the luck).
