    It had to happen sooner or later

    Short Story:
    I got my full licence today.

    Long Story:
    Booked it for Monday at midday... got to the test and the bike i was on had a bung headlight... $88.20 down the drain!

    Rebook to Thursday at 12.45 in Orewa... $70.20

    Find out the job interview i have at the airport is going to last until 12.30 on Thursday... Rebook til later on Thursday - yet another $70.20

    Get there today on SuperDaves bike... in the pissing rain, arrive soaked through... bike inspection "err your rego is expired" - $68.50 please

    Got that sorted and did the test with it raining the whole time.


    Finally... got the licence so i can ride the R6 without worrying too much about the Po-Po's everytime i go out!

    NOW... which one of you bastards put a curse on me!? meh, just glad to have it!

    Every Suzuki dealer including SNZ in the country knows that they do that. But there's not a problem, nnooooo.....and of course bulbs aren't covered by warranty. Sorry.

    Yes I know you .......and why do you think I said it...



    PS: Gareth, after you failed the other day when I saw you at Colemans.
    I wanted to give you a big hug as I knew you were down from what happened...
    But mate I am so pleased you finally passed.... even it cost you a fortune.

    Congratulations, at least you stuck with it. I would have spat the dummy, and left it.

    Great feeling having the ole full license.
