Try Andrew at Roadsafe http://www.roadsafe.co.nz/
Motorbike only search
YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - CRC AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE CRC. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE
There are not currently any bike courses you can do to shorten your license time.
You can do a defensive driving course (for a car) or a similar course called Street Talk (also for car drivers)
Check the following site for details

Thanks...
Not actually the the news I wanted to hear! But what can I say...
Thanks for that.
Here's a KB thread with bunches of information, Practical Defensive Riding Course Information for those on Restricted License
but it's mostly Auckland related.
In Wellington there's A1 in Lyall Bay, they do a Defensive Driving course $149, and I've booked in for their course on January 24th. It takes 4 nights and you do a practical practise in their CAR, which is stupid.
The AA in Lower Hutt do one too, about the same price, and if you don't have your car license you can sit with the driver during the practical part, and talk about the hazards. Weirdness.
Hope that helps.
Roadsafe doesn't do a course which can reduce your time.

Yes, it will take your time from 6 months to three.
"If you successfully complete an approved course, the length of time you must hold your restricted licence for will be reduced to 12 months for those aged under 25 years, and three months for those 25 or older."
The approved courses are Streettalk and a normal old Defensive Driving course.
Apparently they are both four nights and cost about the same amount.
Hey, that isn't your ancient 1983 GN on Trademe right now is it?

LOL... I booked my self for the defensive Driving Course at the Lower Hutt AA.
I have also cleared it up with them and they said that the Defensive driving course(4 nights of book reading) will shorten you bike restricted.
The people from RoadSafe can help with practical advanced bike riding course but it does not shorten your restricted.
My book is just 1,5 months short of my normal restricted period and I am really frustrated about paying $170 to save 1,5 months.
Other thing the defensive driving course is over two weeks, two 2hour lessons per week.
