Hi all,

Well its happened, I past the Knowledge test in 11 minutes and $24 smacko's.

Now for getting into the leathers in 40deg heat.confuse

I might just stay in the back streets in my fluro vest and let a bit of air past beneath  my arm pits. Boy is it hot out there.

My little Honda Grom is going to get some use.

Talk about Government Red Tape. Trying to book a Knowledge test in Greater Sydney is a Joke.( Like waiting a month for a test that takes 11 minutes.)

Sooooo we booked in up the road at Wyong. An hours drive on the M1. North of Sydney. 24hours notice.smilesmilesmile 

Vrom Vrom.

Jim

That's good Jim I have had a lifetime of riding motorcycles two things to remember obviously keep good braking distances and the second thing is people go into corners overcooked  and end up on the wrong side of the road,that kills most of em, if you find yourself in that position just lean the bike over further than you think you can that will save your life and you will also stay on the correct side of the road...

Hi Ron D & The Rocket,

Yep, I have no intention of been a hoon. I have ridden bikes most of my life on the farm. I will be doing the milk run, Post Office, and collecting the odd Loaf at the shops.

She weighs 104kg all up, and we will be taking her with us on our trips. Lots of fun times ahead.

Regards Jim

G'day Jim, I reckon we deserve a photo mate, of you aboard your 104 Kg Harley Hobbit resplendent with 'L' plates....perhaps even a 'born to be wild' wheel stand?.......

DMax, I agree you were making little headway speaking English...now you are so much easier to comprehend.....

Hoo Roo
