Yeah im glad im alive, not sure everyone else is though..... (p/t)

When my insurance paid out they kinda of forgot a few hundred dollars so I had a tight budget and that was the best for the money I had at the time. That and I loved the thought of having a 2 stroke. I fell in love with it as soon as I rode it!

Hey knight rider, hope al goes well for ya. The test is pretty easy, just chill out and be aware of your surroundings, forget the which foot to take off the ground first stuff. Just make sure you do stop and put a foot down.

When did my restriced about 2 months ago i was actually given the FULL license test and it took just over an hour. I passed it 100% so was like uh ok wtf?. The testing officer then issued me with a temporary FULL license

. Strange. So it appeared i'd gone from learner to full licence for some reason?? but as i found out the plastic card in the licence came in as a restricted. Took all the paperwork into the ltsa and had a bitch about it all to them wasting my time (extra time off work) etc and they said they couldnt do anything about it. Garr.. Then made her make some phone calls.. with no result.. Stupid woman even tore up my temporary one

Ok im over it now.

Sorry bout that KNight rider, good luck

Youve already had all the technical advice KR.

My advice is to relax. Just think of it as an easy 20 minute ride.
The hardest thing is to stay under the speed limit. And even that is easy for just 20 minutes.

I guarantee you will laugh at yourself afterwards for being so worried.

Let us know when you pass. Coz you will.

lmao some people are just plain old stupid. Yeah I think the most mportant thing for me is to just relax & not to think about what I'm doing but rather just do it naturally as I would normally. One thing I do need to practise is maybe not accelarate too hard as I may fail my licence because of it lol

The only thing i would add is if they take you on the motorway you stick to the learners 70kph. I know i had to recalibrate my brain for that one.

lol that's a good one. I hope I don't have to go on the motor way

Questions you asked re stopping:

If you have put the bike into 1st gear, then yes, keep your clutch in as you won't want to stall the bike. As it can be hard to get the bike into neutral.

But place both feet on the ground - yes one foot at a time, but do place them both down, so that the instructor can see them both.

But you must wait so that the bike is still without a movement.
Pretend that you are waiting on a car to go past even if there isnt one there.

Motorway - stick to 70km and do not go over that speed limit.

Mirrors - Definitely move your head so that it is obvious that you are checking your mirrors.

If you think you have lost your tester, STOP and wait for him to catch up.

If you lose him completely, and he/she goes back to the start off point without you, it aint good.
So always keep the tester in your view.

crashe your the best

**ZeroIndex** · 8th June 2006, 23:45

if you have a plain color helmet (black), it may be a good idea to put a little colored sticker (like a dot) in the back/middle of your helmet, so the instructor can see you move your helmet when you check (read that somewhere before, not in this post)

I won't say for sure, but I would very much doubt you going on the motorway for the test.

I believe thats in the full license test...

**Fisherman** · 9th June 2006, 00:02

Sounds all a little more serious up there then down here. I think that if you manage to ride around the course without falling off you pass. Mind you when it snows and freezes down here ...... All the testers ive heard about and have had, have been good and im fairly sure they take the attiude that if you want to ride a bike they arent going to stop u. Its your life right?

yeah, and here they like to stop you leading it, well, thats if you aren't living it to their way of thinking...

Of course, because they sit on their arses all day, and get fat salaries for it, means they know much more about our life than we do....
