    I'm really only interested in the hours exemption, and am genuinly interested in it for work reasons, not so I can go out getting up to mischief into the early hours of the morning. When my cousin got one for his car license (restricted again, not learners) his conditions said that he basically had to go straight home from work, not even stop at the dairy to pick up some milk lol. That doesn't bother me really.

    I've never had a car license. I've been overseas, in Brisbane, and even then never got a car license. I'm only 18; in Brisbane you can only get learners at 16 yrs 6 months, so I never got around to it (especially as I knew I was coming back home). I suppose that does mean I have a clean record though lol. Oh well, we'll see, if it fails I'll probably chance it anyway... if that sounds irresponsible I'm not totally convinced that a curfew does in fact make me any safer. Feel free to try and convince me otherwise though.

    Thanks for all the advice, I can't wait til I get my bike ^_^

    Yeah, ask them what's the difference between riding at 9.30pm and 10.30pm

    amazingly yes, the one night we sorted mail from 9pm till 8am, I then went home and slept till 1:30pm and then went delivering it.. We took a break sometime around 1ish, where we went up to the petrol station to grab some lift+ etc

    L plate what L plate?

    had it on my FZX, was handy to have when i kept stalling on hills but dam cars just overtook me for the thrill of it! even when needle bouncing on 60!
    Did that for like 6 months before binning it bad...

    ...year later and ive ditched the L plate, dont consider myself a learner but havent got my A into G and done anything about getting restricted...

    Never went over 80k on FZX, but managed 130 on ZZR ..but only just Wind was orible!

    ...saving for a firestorm next

    I have not used an L plate once since I got my license. I got pulled over an the cop didnt even mention it. My understanding of the 70km/hr restriction was for open roads and a motorway is not an open road. Open roads are usually marked with a white sign with a black cross through them and 99% of the time on rural roads. I've never stuck to 70 though.WHo does apart from gn2fiddy riders
