But seriously its all road legal.
It cost more to get it road legal than it cost to purchase the bike. Might need to stuff some more steel wool up the exhust though. The first lot has burnt out

I'm now waiting for Deanohit and his brilliant displays of joy and love to come in and add his "slacker" comment (which is normally reserved for me... along with stirrer...).

Eh screw it. I'll borrow it this once.

Ya slacker!

Good on ya for going and getting your restricted.

I need to do something about my learners.

I don't ride 'cause I haven't got my licence so there

But I'm happily at that wonderful age where I can get anywhere I wanna go by fluttering my eyelashes at the guys around me so no loss!

My mum and I are planning on doing it together though, and she's replacing the GPX I have because it's simply too heavy for me to start with safely. So no riding for me yet.

**Number One** · 16th April 2008, 20:03

aww - good girl!

And go mum!

Freakin' heck yeah, you should see my Mum. Skinny as a rake and in her 50's (I'll be nice to her and not reveal her precise age for the entirety of NZ to see) and yet can still beat me in arm wrestling...

What a crock!

Distance test my arse!

Has anyone ever seen that third column *without* closing one eye and then swapping?

I got so annoyed and they were going to fail me (having just recently had my eyes checked and lenses replaced) - LIKE FARK.

So by accident discovered when I closed my right eye I could see the mysterious 3rd column - so I just did that

Anyway - 2nd May here I come! Test riding the mighty FXR tomorrow in preparation

Thanks again miss Sweetp

I absolutely would let you borrow 'Smokey' for the day #1 but it needs a few things attending to it atm!!

All that stress and worry for nothing! I passed with flying colours...even managed to get the pegs down on my way to sit the test

What a mission though - some dirty bastard had stolen the L plate of Sweetp's bike (this was the third to be knicked!) so after running up the Lambton Quay in full gears to the AA to find they didn't have any I thought, not to worry, they'll have them at the AA I'm sitting the test at....

WRONG! They sent me off in search of Repco - who only had the car window ones which weren't gonna stick anywhere useful on the FCR.

Then I thought ok go to the bike shop...UHutt has only one...so I was really hanging my hopes on these guys - thanks for nothing though...firstly the guy looked at me like - WTF are you here for...no hello, how can I help, kiss my arse nothing...then when I decided (as time was running out) to chase him down into the office he disappeared into and asked if he had any...and he didn't.....thanks mate - call yourself a bike shop hmm?

Was very stressed by this time, knowing that if I couldn't get one on the bike I wasn't going to be allowed to sit the fricken test $88 down the drain!

Clutching at straws I stopped in at VTNZ and they suggested the $2 shop....ok off there I go....thank goodness they did!!! NEXT hurdle - getting the thing on the bike in time....

Back to AA testing station spoke to the testing officer (lovely chap) told him the story, asked if he could get me an 8mm spanner...he takes the plate off me, rams it up under the number plate and says - that'll do nicely for the test my dear and as I put it there all is well...what a gem!

Must say interestingly easy test! NO U turns or obstacle identification and the fact that you CAN travel at 100km legally during your test just seems such a crock (not that I don't travel at 100km anyway - but still?!) Lots of T intersections, 1 roundabout quick trip down the motorway from Totara Park road to Gibbons street and that was it!

Nice confident ride the tester said and with that my morning from hell was done and dusted and I am that much closer to my full license

Sweet as bro!

**Taz** · 2nd May 2008, 14:53

Mygosh.......

You're HOT!!

Things must have changed - when I went for my restricted I played it safe and asked the tester whether I should travel at 70kph on the open road or 100 and he told me 70 as that was the speed I was legally allowed to ride at as a learner - and until I passed the test, that's what I was.

Oh, and congrats on passing!
