    The Phurrball puts another paw forward in the graduated licence system.

    Yep.

    WOOHOO! Class 6 Restricted licence, you are all mine! Now I can legally do what I have been doing anyway... Hooray - diminished fear of licence condition breach fines! No L plate needed, no daft 70KM/HR rule!

    Sat the test at the Quay St AA. My tester was a gent of 75 who still rides his '83 Honda somethingorother occasionally. Nice to know that my tester was a fellow rider.

    I passed with no adverse comment, even though my L plate fell off somewhere in Parnell ... (I can't say the idea of it being pulverised by tyres bothers me much)

    At least I match Mrs P's licence class now. (she still bet me to it though goddamnit)

    Anyhow, I'm off home. Time to go at a snail's pace on the NW M/way. Not much chance of a legal hundred on the way home methinks...

    Bugger.

    Oh well, there's always tomorrow, or the next day, or the next day...

    Congrats matey
    To every man upon this earth
    Death cometh sooner or late
    And how can a man die better
    Than facing fearful odds
    For the ashes of his fathers
    And the temples of his Gods

    Congratulations!
    Pity about the L plate falling off
    Mine is only held on with a tiny bit of velcro, but it doesn't seem to want to fall off of it's own accord.
    Oh well, only 4 3/4 months until I can sit my restricted...

    edit: And maybe you should update your profile pic. I bet the bike looks much nicer without the L plate showing.

    Too bad about the L plate.
    Maybe you should buy another just to destroy it?
