You dont happen to live along Sunset road do you? Ive seen a VT250 parked up outside a garage a few times.
If so, the loud bike your hear coming home in the evening is definitely not my fault

It's not me, although it is pretty close to where I live. The loudest thing in my immediate area is the GT650. It works out well though, as my flatmate usually has the garage door open for me before I've even got to the driveway!

It's located in Epsom at the moment at my girlfriends place, but can bring it to the shore (Northcote Point) if need be.

picked up a bike from Supzman, Thank you, had a quick ride around the block to get the hang of the bike,
gave it a wash & polish (paints are shiny now

) and lubed bits and pieces that needed some, I think Im set and ready for the test tomorrow! wish me luck

Let us know how the test goes for you. In theory, it should be roughly the same as your restricted test was (assuming this is the full you are doing) since they switched them around a couple months back.

Dont forget to wheelie past the speed camera on East Coast Road. Instant pass.

**nzspokes** · 2nd May 2012, 18:04

You will be fine. Just enjoy the ride. I did mine a couple of weeks back.

Haha, my bike does not seem to wheelie. I guess I never tried hard enough.

+1

Just try harder til you get get it up. No tester will refuse you.

I'm here to sit the test. Starting in 10mins. Breath Jess.. just breath...
Just keep repeating "I can wheelie.. I can wheelie..."

Passed! Booya!

Congratulations!

Was the test pretty much identical to your restricted test, since they've swapped them around?

Ah, righto, I was just curious as to whether they'd done a straight swap of the content of the two tests or just the length of each - did you have to do the hazard identification section?

I'm sitting my full test next week and I'm just wondering if it'll be exactly the same as my restricted was, or if it'll be a bit of a hybrid.

Anyway, congrats again, now seems like a good time for you to go take a celebratory ride!
