License exemption

[crashe]

Talk to Gremlin.......... has has done it...

But then he is a big boy....... and he had pic's as well to prove it...


There are other threads on this.......

[Jonny Rotten]

just get some fat bugger to sit on your bike and photo shop your face on to his body...... make sure you do a good job tho

[SN4PD]

ask pieboy, i mean gremlin. He said he was too fat, too tall, looked stupid on 250's (all of which are true) and managed to get one, even did a photoshoot at Colemans to prove he was ugly too! (was actually to prove the previous 3 points)

if your ZXR only gets 140km you have a fuelling problem, i had mine out to 290km on reserve once. Either that or you use too much throttle too soon. My R6 did 170km two up at pace yesterday, and i know i used to get near 200km on a fast ride on the ZXR before needing to gas up.

And if your bike is 'bouncing around' you need to fix your suspension, not get an exemption for a bigger bike.

I know it has a fuelling problem..... 140 when thrashed and about 170 when going a steady pace..... used to get over 200 out of it, it’s running rich.

My back suspension is cranked right up and its still scraping the fairing, probably need a new shock & diet.

I’m not interested in buying a bigger bike because I don’t like / don’t want to fix up the 250. It’s simply because I “want one”.

But then that wasn’t the question anyway


I've just finished my letter now, thanks for the advise guys!

The every reason why you should have one, just go get one, i wanted a 600 when i was on my 'R' ...so went and got one, and rode it, still had the 250 but sold that a few months after cos' it wasn't getting any use....

Thank you (I'd just like to try and insure it..... otherwise I wouldn’t bother).

(Felt like I was doing School C all over again, brain storming, key points, paragraph structure, condensing...... the only difference was I actually wanted to write this essay )

The reality is that by the time you've applied for it and they've processed it and got it back to you, your time would have just about passed. If you've got that good a reason to be exempted you would have applied already. They're well used to people trying to get through quicker.

Shall we have a wager on it (5 Bucks say's I get the exemption).

Now, if you'd have said you've been racing mini-motos since five, then gone onto racing a 125 and winning the national series, then hopped onto a 250 and were sweeping the floor with everybody else, you'd have a very valid point for getting a bigger bike...

As for wanting a bigger bike.... Welcome to life..... We all want and often we don't get....

You lot have it easy... When I grew up we could only ride 50's between the age of 16 and 18. Only after that could you go onto something bigger....

Oh while I'm about it... If you want more power, go trade that poxy 250 four stroke in and get a two stroke, that'll about do it...

Have you done a defensive riding course?

Defencive driving for the cage........ waste of time it was too.... but not a bike one.

I try and get what I want

That'd suit me, im 21.

Not interested in a 2 smoker..... had plenty of them on the farm.

Look into doing a CBTA course. It will reduce your time at each level of the graduated license. i.e. learner to restricted, and restricted to full.

If you're under 25 you can reduce the total learner and restricted time by up to 11 months (learner drops from 6 months to months, restricted drops from 18 months to 9 months).

If you're over 25 you can go through each level of the graduated system as soon as each level of training/assessment is completed. This can be as little as 8-10 weeks from learner to a full license.

Each CBTA level requires you to take and pass an approved course (approx.10 hours) before you be accelerated to the next licensing level. The courses cost about $250 each.

The only pre-entry requirements are you have a minimum of least a learner motorcycle licence, must have held a full car licence for 2 or more years (if over 25 years), and must have a reasonable driving history.

I haven't been involved with CBTA but it sounds like it is a better option then applying for an exemption. It could even make you a better rider.

[Forest]

Oh yeah - I forgot to add that if the CBTA sounds like it isn't you thing, then just do a standard defensive driving course.

If you're under 25 it will drop your restricted license period from 18 months to 12 months.

If you're over 25 it will drop your restricted license period from 6 months to 3 months.

Driving history is a bit..... um........ ........

If the exemption works then its only $22.50

I tink a few lessons with some KB mentors would yeild a lot more knowlege.

I expect that the LTNZ considers the applicant's driving history when they consider a request for a licensing exemption.

Feel free to have a crack at the essay, but don't be too surprised if they turn you down.
