I got my BSHT today....in the pouring rain too

Philip of Rider Skills was awesome, I'll be going back to him for more lessons for sure.
He was also full of advice regarding 1st motorbike options. Halfway there, just gotta sit the theory now!

**Mystery** · 1st July 2007, 17:29

Awesome news, youve done the hard part, the theory is the easy part! Well done!

Hey Imti welcome to kiwi biker

Dude its good to know this place is getting bigger and bigger ,
ok so your looking at getting your basic handling skills test well i did mine ten years ago lol and yet the same guy is out there doing it in the same place which is at AUT northshore (northcote.) and if u go there sunday's is the time to catch him sorry i don't have any contact of him oh my gosh i forgot his name ...hahaha and about a bike for u i'm riding a suzuki fxr 150 they r a fun sporty type of bike with a bit of fearing to cover u on the motorway etc (aerodinamic) and these bikes r awesome for city use fits almost any tight spot between cars etc and they r pretty light weight as well im 179 cm and dude its so light i just chuck it around like its a bicycle the price u could find one for on trade me will be about 1000 to 2500 , remember the year is about 2002 well hope all goes well looking for a bike suitable for u and hope to see u some time on the road in auckland in spring

gn 250's are good cheap as parts but and bikes is kinda cheap thts if u go for a fxr 150 or gn 250

ok cya around , ps: keep the shinny side up :P

Thanks for that dude!

I did my BSHT a couple of weeks bakc and got my learners over the weekend. Went out for my first proper ride on Sunday. I was on my mate's GN250. Went from Pt. Chev through to Mission Bay and stopped at Motomail on the way back.

Quite nervous to begin with but I settled down. Got a bit stuck on a hill start too

Haha....loads of fun though. I cant wait to get my gear and then a bike!

Good stuff! Sounds like you've got the right plan of action and putting it into place! Nothing gets the vultures circling like a new person shopping for their first bike

before you buy, ask around and post up here in KB.

You'll get a ton of advice which will reflect KB!

On ya!
