Good Luck Steam.

Looks like it is not due to hit until later in the day so you should be ok.

Good luck Steam .. you will do great....

**Colapop** · 14th March 2007, 07:02

Looks pretty good out there at the mo, lets hope it lasts.

No need to offer you luck - you'll do fine.

Good luck dude, PM me with any tips you may have - ugh I'm not looking forward to my ride out to newlands tonight for my final night of defensive driving courses ;-)

**Dodger** · 14th March 2007, 07:55

Best of luck,
looks good at the mo, lets hope it holds out for your test.

Hmmm, the ride home tonight may be interesting.

Lots of blue skies for you this morning :-)

Good luck dude! (not that you will need it ;-)

ps I passed my test when it was snowing, i was also in a town that i had never been to before (Barnsley) on a hired bike that would not tick over... Oh and i got lost on my way home found my self on the motorway soaked to the skin and being followed by the cops. I pulled over they asked me after some confusion they let me go. I did manage to drip all over their electric equipment.

Good luck Steam!!!!

Not long to go now - if you're sitting it in the Hutt looks like you'll be getting a tad damp from what I can see from my window (or not see, which in this case is Petone!)

Those ammo cans will cause some serious drag too Steam me old cobber!!
I'm sure the tester will have mercy on ya mate not all of them are complete wankers!!!!

Good luck!!!!

Good Luck Steam, It looks like it has calmed down a bit so best of luck!!!

Yes, I PASSED!
It wasn't hard at all, wonderful! And the rain and mad wind held off until the tester handed me the new license and I started to ride home. Hooray!
However I did forget my defensive driving certificate, so I had to ride home and back to get it. Thankfully I arrived an hour and a half early to practise.

Now the weather's quite wild out there, I don't look forward to riding to work for the evening shift on the boat! The harbour's going to be pretty damn choppy tonight.

The tester laughed when he saw my bike.

Oh, I highly recommend doing a defensive driving / Street-talk course, as the practical session at the end of the course is an hour-long practise for the full license test.

Full license! Yazzoo! It's good that i got it because on Saturday I ride my new CX400 back up from Chch!

Well done Steam. I was looking out of the window at the weather thinking to myself 'Steam will be out there now!'. The Wed cruisy ride is going to be quite interesting tonight with this weather.

Enjoy the ride back up from Chch. Take it easy and don't get too confident.
It takes time to learn the quirks of a new machine. Just ride easy, ride safe.
