Motorcycle theory test?

it is 10 motorbike questions - and 25 regular road law questions - 5 of which are the 'do you give way here' picture questions.

I studied by reading through the questions at the end of the 'bike road code, and looked up the responses for any I wasn't completely sure I knew correctly. What was frickin annoying was the number of ambiguous questions that even if you look at the page reference you couldn't be sure about hte answer (or you knew which one they meant was right but technically, multiple were). That which brake to use when pulling away was one.. the road code says use the front first (I guess when putting it into gear), then use the back when taking off (hard to use front brake and throttle)...

Man, I got mighty pissed off at some of those questions, actually.

So glad I didn't get any stupid ambiguous ones in the test. (I would have fought so hard if I'd failed on one, though).

Had a look at that site......Damn, the general road code has changed so much since I last sat my car learner's (in '96) !

I'd FAIL miserably if I had to do the test tomorrow!

I looked at this thread before taking my test. The URL referenced in the very first post in this thread covered everything that I came across. The other general site that Land Transport provides covers the rest (the first part of the exam).

cheers for this thread - it helped a lot before going in.

found this site and thought it would be useful for anyone about to get their learners and was looking for motorbike specific questions in the road code

My step son did his test on Monday, all the scratchies $5.00 worth all the questions he sat was in the test questions we got from BP in porirua.
Yes he passed. He is loving riding. Very bad rider though lol.
I think he needs more road time

Allmost blew the bike riding in 2nd though as they never went out of 2nd on his basic handling course

Yeah man, I aced (100%, and then had to wait 5 minutes for doing it too fast) thanks to that site. I think that site has all 75 or so possible questions they pick from. The 10 I got were on there anyway.
