You'll have no problems - just relax and ride safely.

Sounds exactly like my full test. Did you do yours in Porirua by any chance?
Nothing to worry about, you'll pass it with flying colours Hels, just remember all those things you're supposed to do!

Ride person in the bed, think about riding person on tv, and everyone knows computers are for porn and motorcycle games

Sadly being a computer tech means buying a comp thats worth a few thousand rrp

Computers. TV, bed...they're all the things you use when you're NOT riding.

Go figure.

No it doesn't, it means blagging one from work (says he, typing on a three week old MacBook).

Furniture comes from TradeMe.

Money goes on bikes

ROFL GO RICHARD GO!

reminds me of a bash.org quote:

person1) name one thing your pc can do that my mac cant!
person2) right click?

Bollox. You don't need a flash computer. I have a duron 850 with 192/256mb or ram (It varies depending on the weather (seriously) ) and that does KB fine.

What else do you need?!
