New bike and a GDLS exemption...

[Tank]

I think this is incorrect. My understanding is they will exempt other bikes (not on this list) on a case-by-case basis.

Steve

Nope - I think that you will find that they have moved on from the case by case basis.

That's why they now have a list and never mentioned it previously.

Im thinking the thread starter just got caught in the changeover (still should have got the exemption then the bike tho').

Absolutely right Tank, I should have.
In my defense...NO-BODY knew about this. All the advice I received, and every post relating to this on this site, give indication as to the ease with which they previously issued these exemptions...story of my life to be the unlucky hua caught on the change.

Suck. I hope not. I really need my full for the summer. Growl..

For those who are unaware, I have an exemption to ride a 650 on my learners. All the rest of the family has bikes except the 14 y/o daughter who wants to ride with me. After 15,000 km on the 650, I can almost certainly pass my full ok.

You've already got your exemption so I doubt anything will change for you.

ok. Others have been given permission to sit their full license right away. Recently too. Actually, just last week.

Yeah I have a funny feeling that I ACTUALLY don't have permission to ride the bike until I have passed it....Seems they have tightened things up considerably....

Yeah they still offer this under 'special circumstances' which apparently I am not
If I was to change bikes to one on the list i would be granted the exemption.
Anyone wanna swap a 2008 650r for a Doug 350?

The special circumstances are a requirement to do a large amount of open road riding. You may want to get this into your letter somewhere.

The reason being that they DO NOT want learners on the open road doing 70km - they believe it to be dangerous.

That's what LTNZ told me when they gave me the chance to go directly to my full from my "L" (and I was allowed to ride the 800 until I sat it - and if I failed I was still allowed the 800 - I just had to stay within the other restrictions).

I got to say - I feel for ya. Its bloody unlucky how you got caught out. Since there are 10,000,000 threads about how easy it is to get dispensation - perhaps a MOD can sticky this thread (or another one that's edited - Id be glad to help) - so its easy to see that there have been changes and people are not making decisions based on old information.

It would be nice to have some definite information from the licensing people.

Hey I think they will permit you to "get used to the bike" before your test. Ask them! Quick email or phone call time. You can hardly be expected to do a license test on a bike you have, cough, "never ridden."

Steve

[racefactory]

You will be fine. It doesnt matter a shit anyway - if they dont give it to ya just kit up in all the protective gear so you look ultra-pro and go ride the fucker - they will leave you alone if you behave and you look like money and like you know what you're doing. No one will know or care. If you get stung riding it, tell them some bullshit sob story and get off it anyway - How long since you were stopped for a license check ?

DB

I agree with this. Just go ride it but try for the exemption.

I knew a guy with a GSXR750 and one a GSXR1000 and also a good friend on an SV650- all on their learners. As long as you ride responsibly you don't get stopped unless you do stupid shit. if you do happen to, they won't always point out/notice the capacity breach and if they do- i have heard of people being let off with a warning many a time.

Not to say you should go jump on straight away and not think about it again- but don't fret about it mate. One thing for sure- it's a good incentive to not do stupid shit or speed...
