    Actually I can see your big smile.. I am sure mine is its twin. Just a bit more info for you.
    When you go for your learners; 10 of the questions will be specialist motorcycle questions. You can get a copy of these exact scratchy tests from your local AA for $5 for all of them. There are 5 test sheets and 1 is garenteed to be the one you get in your test.
    You can also get the rest of the questions but they are $2.50 per sheet and there are 125 questions so the cheaper option is to use the online road code. That's what I am using..
    Once you have you bhs just go into the AA and do the scratchy test, eyesight and photo too. I dont even have to book in here in Pukekohe, they just told me to come in once I have the bhs test cert.
    I am so excited about getting my learners. Got my bike on Tuesday so boy have I got itchy feet...
    Wish me luck for my sunday bhs and good luck with your course

    I just used my scooter and all you need for that is a car learner licence.

    I had a scooter for about a year then decided I wanted a bike so I did the BHS with my scooter seen as how I knew it well and they are way easier to ride because they are auto. Now im onto my third bike.

    Hi Blossom! Well ... wee bit away yet .. I want to do the intro to motorcycling first but the trainer here doesnt have a bike on hand and recommended I get my own. He suggested I hire but no I'm not keen on that at all so Im looking for my very first bike .. I tell ya Iv come across some beauties like the Ninja but Im worried about the panel beating costs involved lol so I'v been down to the Yamaha dealer almost everyday looking at the Scorpio for my first break in. Actually a new model is reletively cheap to what I thought 3'8 + orc my dilemma is thought weather to get a second hand one coz once Iv got my license etc Ill be looking to upgrade .. ut in saying that Im wasting time so i better make some decisions quick smart. More time spent thinking is more time less riding! ... ohh did you celebrate with champagne Blossom?????????
