Passed my Full...

Hi There

In light of the recent sad news we have had to deal with in the last few days, I would just like to share a little bit of Goodness that happened me today...

I PASSED MY FULL CLASS 6 TEST! AND....

I PICKED UP MY NEW BIKE! Picture attached...

Oh My GOD! What a machine!

The test itself was a bit of a surprise, as it lasted a grand total of 24 minutes, and consisted of a cruise around the local suburbs, and a little bit of open road - no intercom, no hazard identification portion - kind of surprised me - but that is irrelevant now, as I have the piece of paper...

The new bike is better than I could have expected, its handling, performance, and overall experience is completely outside of what I expected - 170KM on it already (it had 400 metres when I collected it)

Thanks to all who have provided guidance/tips/riding experience (not sex, but almost as good) to me over the last 9 months - I look forward more than ever now to get out on the road with you all, on something that can overtake without too much trouble

Cheers!

Enjoy.

Cheers! - I sat it at VTNZ Takanini - dont think it would be fair to expect this to happen to everyone that sidles thru there

Nice bike, man. Now, please, do yourself a favour and:

* Insure it.
* Buy crash bungs and
* Go gently, at least to start with.

Well done. Nice bike

Congratulations - so there's a future for us VTR250 riders after all!

good to know my 6R is still nice and shiny - luckily I'm a long way over 25 and won't have too long to wait until I can sit my Full licence.

All the best.

Well done that man!

Great news Blair. Knew it'd be a breeze for you mate. Take good care of yourselves now. Do as the man said and buy crash bungs/crash posts. If you ever drop it, you'll soon forget how they looked a bit odd and all that. Give us a bit of a ride report/test ride write-up in the next month or two. Could be keen for one of these next year and it's always useful to hear real-world opinions. Well done mate. take care. bell
