I passed my full licence!!!
I just got back from taking and passing my motorcycle full licence test. I was pretty nervous but I think I passed without problem - the only negative comment the tester made afterwards was that in describing the hazards I noticed while negotiating an intersection, I forgot to mention the car behind me, i.e., him. I thought about making a smart comment along the lines of "I assumed you weren't causing me a hazard" but thought better of it - truth be told I probably don't take enough notice of the cars behind me at intersections. Hey - a bonus - I learnt something.
Get this - the test ride involved a short blat on the open road. When I stopped after that he came up to me very promptly and asked: "As a restricted rider, what is your speed limit on the open road?" Is this a trick question, I asked myself... "100km/h" I replied, without total conviction, as his question had put some doubt in my mind where before there was none. "Aren't you restricted to 70?" he asked. "On a learners licence, yes, but not on a restricted" I replied. "Are you sure?" "Yep" (confidence growing again). Maybe he was trying to trick me, but I don't think so - I honestly don't think he knew. Given that exceeding the speed limit by 30km/h would result in an instant fail, I guess that's where he was going... Amazing.
Now, see if you can solve this simple equation:
Cash in bank + Full licence = _ _ _ _ _ _ _
And if anyone wants to buy a very tidy FXR150, mine's going to be up for sale very soon...

He replied that there was a car behind him to which i said that due to the fact that he was following me for the entire test and I had him in my rear view the entire time it was unrealistic (and dangerous) to expect me to be trying to look through my rear view mirrors past him to see if there was a car following him. He agreed amazingly enough and sent me on my way.....with a full license
