oooooooooooo lala
Went to the auckland motorcycle club. Was a little harder than what these guys say but the guy was really nice. He did mark me down for over-revving but what the hell was i meant to do the stupid thing had no rev counter and spluttered like an old dog. Managed to get the front wheel off the ground going up the ramp though. Silly 125 2 smoker.

Heheh.. the red GN250 is still there. And he told me its 18 years old!
gee wizzz
leerusty is the man you guys are refering to.
The basic Sand H test involves the following.
1 weaving around cones without touching a cone and without putting your feet down--Best way to practice is in a carpark and use the ends of parking spaces to weave around.
The secret here is NOT to look down at the cones--look where you want to go.
2) Stopping using both brakes in a straight line when indicated to by the instructor--usually by dropping the arm
The idea is to demonstrate your ability to use both brakes without skidding.
3) stopping from 40km/h and comeing to a complete halt in a 600x600 square.
4) Covering a distance of 40m in a straight line 600mm wide in 12 seconds or more -without putting your feet down.
5) doing a u turn both in a left and right direction
indicating into the turn.
I might have the demensions slightly wrong but the test
is basicly like that.
If you get worried I have a set of cones so you can practice.

For sale: 18yr old Suzuki GN250, never been used over 40kmh, over revved a few times and dropped countless times....On it's 14th new mirror on the left and 21st new mirror on the right, Original exhaust/muffler probably needs replacing if you intend on doing 60kmh Call: Mr. D. Swanson Price $200

Chairs very much for that XJ/FROSTY. I have been practicing that using the ends of parking spaces and have to admit i find it very difficult.I try to concentrate on where i'm going but maybe its the type of bike? My knees kind of get in the way a bit trying to turn tightly. Its a small cruiser style bike and i got long legs. Im guessing it might be easier on a different style bike where you sit more upright.
Tell me is it feasible that someone could do that cone weaving caper if they were on say a massive harley hog or something like that?

What a life eh?! every day a maths test - all who failed got 2 strokes of the cane.When you're not too bright the only way to miss a canning was to cheat...well,at least I learnt something at school.The worst part is - after a real good canning we used to go into the toilets and check out the stripes....someone,or two,was getting something extra out of looking at our pink bums!

Similar memories... Having to stick your head under the desk with your arse up in the air when you got the cane. First reaction was to lift your head at a great rate of knots and smash it into the underneath of the desk when the cane made contact.
Funny how that sort of punishment made us grow up to be disturbed, unbalanced, homicidal maniacs who always resort to violence, wife and child beaters, and rapists etc etc...
As my old Dad used to say "A damn good hiding never hurt anybody"
Come to think of it he still says that.. still gives me a clip round the ear now and then too

Of course it is feasibleChairs very much for that XJ/FROSTY. I have been practicing that using the ends of parking spaces and have to admit i find it very difficult.

Keep it tight otherwise you end up trying to do 90 degree turns to get in behind the cone. Don't try to miss every line end by much, just get a nice steady weaving going on.

Dude Im sorry to critique but--I have this question asked of me regularlyChairs very much for that XJ/FROSTY. I have been practicing that using the ends of parking spaces and have to admit i find it very difficult.

To prove the point I take the whale through and do the cone bit.
Try doing it this way
get 8 old plastic coke bottles or whatever just as long as they dont move with the wind.
Space em 5m apart in a straight line (easy way to measure it is to take 5 normal paces)
Start out 3m back from the first cone with it about 500mm to your right.
as your front wheel is next to the cone gently turn to the right
DONT look at the cones -Biggest mistake cos youll over compensate and end up putting your foot down.
The idea is to stay relaxed and use small movements.
If someone keeps fluffing it I tell em to just go up and down the street a bit to relax em.
If ya get stuck come see me ill run ya through it
