    Moving from 4 to 2 wheels, kinda (STEPHASAUR)

    Helloooooooooo!

    The day has finally arrived to become completely broke off my face.
    [heavy breathing]

    HELLO... again xD

    My names Steph (go figure) and FINALLY got/ getting my first bicycle with an engine!!
    it's an 88 CBR250 which i'm paying off from a friend (perhaps he's on this forum?) which i'm hellishly excited to own!

    Admittedly right now I don't have my learners, just nailing through the gear first. Assuming all goes swell I should have the learners by end of next month? or is that too optimistic?

    Will need to get the riders test done and dusted too (any suggestions on where best to go?)
    Yea... perhaps all that done by end of next month is too optimistic. LOL
    the 4 to 2 wheels thing... not RRREEEAAALLLLLLYY accurate, as I have daily-turned weekender car, and a project racecar. oh the financial struggle is real.
    Bike will be the daily commuter though, so KINDA accurate, but not really :P

    anyways, cant wait to meet all of yah, and being a complete noob I certainly appreciate all the advice

    These guys were the guys I went to, very helpful and friendly, easy to get on with. Flick them an email, they'll sort you out.

    Also forum members I do believe.

    Welcome.

    More importantly pics of the race car thanks.

    Also how much are you paying for a 27 year old 250?

    Depends what the waiting list is like for an instructor to do your basic handling skills. Was only a day or two's wait for me and I got it after a couple of lessons. So end of next week would be achievable here. Auckland mileage may vary.

    Oh and welcome

    Yea managed to book the handling test for the 6th next month. Just gotta read up on that roadcode and the license should be easy.
    Though Christmas time.... A lot of people will be riding D:

    apparently VTNZ do theory tests? suppose they'd get a lot less foot traffic for those as opposed to the AA.
