How do I get an exemption on my learners to get a bigger bike?

Hi

How do I get an exemption on my learners to get a bigger bike?

Im 16yrs about 183cm and weigh *cough cough* 84kgs

And can it be done?

Make up a really good excuse as to why its unsafe for you to ride a 250.

The key is making it sound unsafe as possible as they don't give out exemptions for inconveniences.

Too be honest tho, i doubt you'll have much luck.

Agreed...not very tall and only a skinny wee fella.
No real "argument"

Your age is your biggest enemy here. You'd need to be 6'5" and a minimum of 130kgs fro them to take you seriously I reckon.

I wish I hadn't posted in your other thread now.

16. Harden up and take your time growing up. Fekking enjoy it because it can all go wrong really quickly.

Forgot im gettin my restricted next week.But its still so long.

Hmmm yeh practically every one in my family has had a bad fall.

But im not a SQUID!

Even my Dad thinks im doin f***ing well at drivin.

ive only dropped my bike once due to the bloody brakes lockin up for reasons unknown.

being on a gravel drive way didnt help.

But thanks anyway

Have a read here and you might get it sorted.

Good luck!

emigrate to a country where you can get a full licence straight away

FWIW, I would agree with James Deuce on this - you're young and impatient for that time to pass. Trust me, unless you meet with an untimely end you'll be an "old person" for plenty enough years to enjoy bigger bikes. Without a pressing reason for the powers that be to "legally allow you to break the law" it's probably a bit of a moot point for you anyway.

Yup I have to agree with the others here do your time on the 250s, and work your way up through the ranks, though you are lucky to be in Taupo, as you will be easily able to attend track days, and learn alot from them.

[Conquiztador]

I have to fully disagree here.

The size does not matter.

It is how you use it.

[Ixion]

Ah, now, you're in luck.

Gene-o-Kleen ("Evolution you can see") are running a special promotion for the start of the season.

With every twin-pack giant economy size of Gene-O-Kleen ("Evolution you can see"), you receive a coupon that can be exchanged with LTNZ for an exemption allowing you to ride a litre bike, regardless of age or experience.

Look for the special promotional packaging, from suppliers everywhere.

I have to fully disagree here.

I imagine you'll be the only one.

Have patience psycho - all going well you'll have plenty of riding years ahead of you.

Well... I started as a 12 yo. At 16 I rode a 500cc. At 18 I rode a 750.

Again:

"It is not the size that matters, it is how you use it."

When I got my oldest to start riding I got him A NZ250. They go OK as standard. But we worked on the thingy. And got her to easily do 180. And I have to be honest, she was a 1 cylinder no weight bike. And would leave most bikes behind. Even I (and I have been riding speedway) went: "WOW!!!"

So again, size is not a factor. It is the way you ride.

And to the ones who have red blinged me for my earlier posting:
Don't be so fuckin PC. Not that I give a shit re your red blings.

ive only dropped my bike once due to the bloody brakes lockin up for reasons unknown.

The money spent on applying for the exemption would perhaps be better spent finding why said brakes locked, be it rider or machine
