    Woooo hoooo!!!! I passed..

    my full licence today!! I am now LEGAL!!

    I am sooo rapt - that I thought I would share it here...

    I did the full day CBTA course with Lynn and Andrew Templeton from Ridesafe. The day started at 9am in J'ville for theory and vids, and then progressed to Upper Hutt where we did refreshers on manoeuvering at slow speed, counter steering, braking, taking a pillion etc (my first time and it was bloody awful ).

    It finished about 6pm with a preset route through Whitemans (sp?) Valley and around Upper Hutt.

    Everyone passed and it was a very supportive atmosphere (even when I fully made a nod out of myself in having difficulty with the slow tight turns (throttle meets tank!) ) so all in all a good day. X section of people and ages and a x section of bikes made it interesting as well.

    Now I just have to post away my certificate for the real thing and try not to get any speeding tickets as I zot up and away around the countryside...

    Wooo hooo - what a blast ....

    p.s. did you have to take pillions for the test or was it just to practice????
    No - it was practice only - to recognise the extra load on the bike (brakes, cornering, acceleration etc). Was all good..

    well done. I am also well on the way to a full licence, just need to book my restricted first Not sure if 7 yrs on learners is long enough though! Not that I procrastinate about going for the next stage, or maybe I do, I'll think about it tomorrow.
