    I had my learners for about 5 years, but had my basic handling cert for 12 years before my learners - coming back from the forest one day I did it as a joke, had no intention of riding on the road back then ...

    Didn't have learners when I got mine - just bought a bike, rode around for a week or so and got me license - full of course.

    Hi

    Got my learners at 15 and my full at 30 after getting a $400 fine riding back from mates house one sunday morning on my RG500.
    If I didn't get that fine I would still have my learners.
    It's taken a while for me to get round the fact I am actually legal to ride.

    Regards

    Obviously have a long way to go...

    I've only had my L since 17-09-2005!!! I must have ages to go 'fore I can get onto my R, especially since some of you far more experienced riders all had your Learners' licenses for years 'n' years 'n' years...
    If ya haven't tried it - how do ya know ya don't like it

    I don't know the actual length of time I had it but it was the absolute minimum. I got the ticket to ride, did the defensive riding course (required to 1/2 the learners licence time) then got my full.

    That was back in the day when you simply got upgraded when you had enough time without an accident... (if I recall correctly)

    Got my 250cc licence in Perth, Dec 2004. Got full licence in Qld May 2005. So I was on the mighty Virago for 6 months-ish. If I'd had to stay on the 250 any longer I probably would have stopped riding.

    Luckily I've had my full long enough that I can just transfer it on to my NZ licence after doing the 20 questions jobbie. I think I've got a year to do so though.

    Note to self - must check when can be bothered.
