I would check that out with the Land Transport, a simple yes or no... but get it in writing.

I have booked mine ... have to wait till the 22nd April though... nothing available locally.

Can't wait to get the scissors out...and cut my L plate off once and for all

You will be fine mate. Just make sure you come to a complete stop at stop signs and dont fall off. If you can ride all the way up here incident free then you are fine. Good luck!

LOL the bridge, only seen it the once, not been over it since the first time. I guess wind does not frighten me anymore though, I have toughened up quite a bit from those days of "not today"

Wich testing agent in the Manawatu area has a radio headset thingy? Im in Palmy but dont mind going out of town somewhere to do the test? Ive also heard the dude in Ashurst has a bike you can hire? Need to find a 250 to do it on.

I passed my retricted today!!

I sat it today in Lower Hutt; which I chose for a couple of reasons, it was close and they had walkie talkies. Except not today, just my luck they died just before the test began so we had to do it the old fashioned way: indicators and the horn

I did mine @ Quay Street @ 8am... Cant remember the route, although I think the basic route (it varies) is posted here somewhere. It was just through the street's behind it really. It was easy as and if you have been riding regularly you should be fine. I did three U turns so make sure you're up to scratch with those.

It's with a radio and earpiece.

Oh yeah, good luck.
