    Cool choice of bike. I have a red GT as well. Looks fantastic. Didn't take me long to venture onto the motorway, so it wont be long before you are rocking on up to Whenuapai for the RRRS course.

    Hey carbacca, best way to get around this from my experience...all of a month....is pull sickies from work....priorities have new toy will play. If you can buddy up with an experienced rider I highly recommend that....ohhh and riderskills ROCK. I left home @ 5am to dodge majority of traffic for my lesson, lesson started @ 9:30am ....so yes the
    since i am a complete knob
    is shared amongst most newbies


    oops just remember i havent gotten my L plates yet either.....
    Get those plates....makes a big difference.....people tend to give you a bit more room
    No body move... I dropped my brain

    still havent gone riding yet >_< only got insurance sorted on monday, managed to get all the bits needed to LEGALLY ride bolted on today.

    cant forget that loser plate. had to track one of the old ones down, i blame LTSA; the new ones (the thin film ones that cling to the glass) are impossible to use with a bike
