    Thumbs up Got my restricted

    Passed my restricted licence this afternoon at 5 Xroads. Will see if I can get booked in for Superbike School at Hampton Downs.

    Congrats dude! What kind of maneuvers are you asked to do? What do they look out for?

    I'm still on my Learners, looking to get my Restricted but I'm kind of nervous...

    From the perspective of years of experience riding I suggest that since you have only just got your restricted maybe you reign in the testosterone (no offence intended) and do a Pro Rider course instead.

    Even people who have ridden for years rate Karel Pavichs courses highly and come away at the end of the day having learnt something.

    Oh and big CONGRATS!

    Really good value, you get to play around on a race track without any egos, go as fast or as slow as ya like. Ya get out of it what you want to.

    It was just a 15 minute test, only riding in 50k and 80k zones, had to turn at a few intersections and do a u-turn at a roundabout.

    Yet another reason why the Pro Rider courses are so good, you will be doing circles (not just U-turns but circles!) on full lock with complete confidence after Karel shows ya how easily its done...

    The Pro Rider courses are about street skills but done on a closed racetrack so ya get to have fun as well!

    +1 -What she said!
    Hmmm.......I guess you rate "PRO-RIDER & Karel Pavich" as well

    Great course's, and would highly reccomend to ALL as well ...Cos ya never to young, old or Knowledgeable to learn new skills & technique's (and they may just save your arse & bike one day)
    Once again "Congrats" on the licence!!

    When Life thows me a curve
    ...I lean into it!
