I have classes 1,2,3,4,5,6....don't know what they all mean,but I have car,bike,truck and trailer.I consider that quite normal,but obviously this cop hardly ever sees that many classes in license checks - so what classes do we hold on this board,just bikes,or maybe a whole lot more?

ive got 1R,6R(getting my full bike wen i get a new back tyre for the test and $115)

I've got 1, 2, 4, 6L, F, R, W.

Although I haven't used my heavey truck or heavey wheels & rollers for several years now.

i took a work 4 x 4 over there once. going up the west side was easy, but down the katikati side was a lesson in 'how deep's this hole?' and lots of winching. i don't think the truck ever really recovered from that trip...although i also put it into the surf at ruapuke, a crevass on ruapehu, various holes and rivers around waiouru, wires track near paeroa, etc etc.....

It ain't Thompsons Track (kids stuff) - it's National Park.

Lynda - that's McPhee in the foreground, and I think that's Foreskins with Motu trying to persude him not to call the rescue helicopter....after all he had miles of shitty track to come that Motu hadnae had a chance to fall over on...

I had no idea I would be going into such conditions,and wasn't prepard for it...particualy mentaly! A trail tyre that was lost in the mud and my pack was good for highway,not trail.Instead of being high on that right hand bank,I target steered into that rut,then found my pack dragging on the ground on the left side - this is the mid trail repack.It's lucky you can't hear Vege bellowing ''what the fuck are you guys doing!''

and i thought i knew everything.

I've got classes 1 and 6L.

It kinda seems like people with few licence classes are outnumbered here.

**Big Dog** · 18th February 2004, 18:25

Most people with multiple licenses have lots. A freind who used to work in licensing reckoned very few stick to just the 2 if they have more than 1.

I reckon its cos mono's are afraid to try for another but multis realise they get easier as the get more plentiful (and more cost effective if you do several classes at each test, when I did mine each additional class was only $15).

1,2,3,4,5,6 DG expired a few years ago, not driving now so don't need to renew it. Originall had F & L (Truck & Trailer) they were automaticly converted to 2,3,4,5. Wouldn't want to go through all the bullshit of getting any licenses now.
