Yay! Passed 6F in the Manawatu

Yay! 2 weeks of stress

, butterflies in stomach and panic and countless number of u-turn practices I passed my full !

Did it with VTNZ over the ramp on Rang... got a really friendly instructor who took me around all the sides streets and gave very clear instructions over the headset.

Cant stop looking at the temporary licence in awe.

Now time to sell the 1 year old 250 and upgrade ,and throw the missus on the back in time for summer!

I was nervous back then. LOL way different now..although I still am nervous on unknown roads. Guess I need to get out more - I might have to start tagging along on the rides now I'm a wee bit quicker at riding and wont be holding up the crew! hehe

Never have to worry about holding anyone up .. you always ride your own ride & others will wait for you

always pays to be cautious on roads you do not know .. I prefer that gives one room to make a change if the unexpected happens

Chanceyy is right .. ride your own ride and let others do their own thing .. at least that way you won't get tickets for a bit!! ... anyhows .. congrats on the FFFF... well done!!

...and I must say (about bloody time)

It will be great to catch up with you again. Now the fun part starts and you get to `test ride'

See you out soon...and don't worry about keeping up...I still can't and don't bother trying...just enjoy the ride

**Trudes** · 25th November 2008, 10:23

Congrats, well done!! Just wait until your real photo licence turns up, then you can spend hours sitting about looking at that and your smiling face looking back at you!

yeah I'm looking forward to coming out again on rides, now the sun is shining and I almost feel like a 'real' biker now hehehe. The test rides are the next daunting thing.... more power.... no experience.. should be fun LOL

Already picked me out my next bike...just got to find one at a reasonable price (and hope I enjoy riding it)

Congrats, and yeah, haven't seen ya out with the Manawatu mob for a while...

Good luck shopping...and be careful!

Well done,words an older guy gave me when I passed my full was just cause ya can do 100km,doesn't mean ya need too,ride to your comfort level.That was about 28yrs ago and still is true.

Best thing is get a bigger bike put the L label on it as you ride around town at speed limit.Cop might/might not have sense of humour.
