Where to go for Basic Handling Certificate - North Shore (Pref cheap)

**El Lanzo** · 24th April 2008, 19:47

Hey there, just got my first motorbike yesterday hehe, a Suzuki FXR150. Been riding around a local car park (North Shore Events Centre) and getting to grips with it. Got my mate to bike it down who is also just coming to the end of his learners and showed me how to ride etc (I had already driven his CBR250) before so i wasnt a complete noob

I believe I'm an alright driver now and can handle it decently so....

Anyone know a nearby place i can gain my basic handling certificate? (Im in Glenfield, North Shore) I don't wanna pay for the extra lesson some places provide as a) im too poor

and b) my mate pretty much provided that. Before I bought a bike i was lookign at fees on LTNZ website and expected it too be close to 40$ for the certificate but just lookign at a few places its lyk 100$ grrr. Would prefer to sit on my own bike as Im use too it so I guess ill have to get my mate to take it there.

Anyway, thanks guys!!

He can actually give you the certificate ??? I thought it had to be some kind of registered fancy institute that hands them out, but um sure! lol Cheers
