In all the excitement I forgot to mention I am out of the moon boot

No big cruises for this weekend. The husband went down to Quazimoto's on Friday to pick up his new jacket (thankyou Bret) and I sat my bhs test this arvo. Which I passed

now just the scratchies between me and being legal. So am off to do them tomorrow after I spend tonight swatting

All sounds good, Blossom!

Be sure to memorize the practice exams (MC and general road code) because the actual exam has identical questions.

This afternoon I went for a long ride with the big boys - 700cc up to 1800cc, and my bike had no problem keeping up. But holy crappola was it WINDY!!!!

Gusting 80 90 100 kph so it took concentrated steering... but good practice and an otherwise beautiful

day. Lunch in Martinborough, back roads through Longbush Gladstone and home to Masterton. Man, I love biking!

Keep us posted

on the rides you do on your new bike, and get 100% on that scratchie!

Im proud of you! not that we suspected you wouldn't get it anyway of course! lol Iv just been reading your thread from start to finish and veryyyyyyyyy impressed with the information posted. I am on the hunt for my first bike but because I really am new I need something that won't mind a close encounter or two with a few brick walls lol .. I am looking at the Scorpio 250 at the moment. My eldest has expressed an interest in learning as well so I would like to keep it for when shes legal to in a couple of years.

Sounds very familiar. Good luck with the hunt. I started a few years back on the good ole gn250. Great to learn on and cheap to buy. Have fun researching and trying them out. And thanks for the lovely sentiments on my bhs... NOW just to get back to studying the roadcode.

Damn I am getting nervous

:
Woke up thismorning with a headcold, feel like concrete head. I was planning on going down to the AA once the small fry is at kindy so am on the night and day tabs, so those should kick in shortly in theory and then I wont feel so much like I got a hangover. I hate tests, any and all tests, only ones I have ever failed so far have been hearing and preganancy tests.

Hope not to break that record today. Wish me luck all.

**Blossom** · 3rd March 2008, 13:19

YES!!! Passed the scratchies. Now I am totally legal to ride!!!! I am sooo chuffed.

So catch up with you all later...am off for a blat before the little one needs picking up from kindy.
