    B) you could ring around other testing places and find somewhere with an earlier booking available, they can't be ALL booked out until May.

    Short answer. Book it online. Thats what I did to sit my 1R. I booked it over amonth before I was eligible, and then had a month to sort leave and someone to accompany me to the actual test. Then I had a month to iron out my bad habits.

    Maybe not everyone but MOST people 6'3" and over are gagging to get their 6F.....my little 250 is great....can't do 100km/h in a head wind or going up a hill however.

    There are valid legal exemptions in place now ... for larger members of the population. This exemption allows the rider to use an approved larger capacity motorcycle.
