    Talking F.u.l.l.!! :)

    There, I now have my full motorcycle license!! Woohoo!! Just did my test on a borrowed gsx250 this morning, from the Tory St VTNZ station.

    Only problem was having to put my foot down during the u-turn, which he went, "Yeah, not too worried about that..."

    Great guy!! Now I can legally ride the RF900!! Woo hoo!! :

    Yeah!! Now I can get insurance and know I fulfill their requirements!

    Qn 1. What's the thing with u-turns? You don't actually need to do it without putting your foot down... Doesn't add to safety or anything...

    Qn 2. I've always had problems with u-turns... do you ride up to about 20kph and do a quick one or slow walking pace one?

    Hey, congratulations Bend-it!

    Whats the point of the whole u-eee/ no foot down thing? I think it just proves a certain amount of bike control.

    If you keep your eyes/ head up when doing a u-eee then your foot shouldnt go down.

    Enjoy the RF mate.

    Weird... Just rang Star insurance and they said, "Yeah, we're not that competitive on the lower value bikes (WHAA?? You calling me Cheap!?!? ), your best bet is Kiwibike!"

    Disgruntled employee maybe? heh heh heh...
