Hey every1 just wanna say hi quickly and share my bikes with every1 else and hope to learn more about riding and meet new ppl !

My name is Lee, I'v been riding for a while now without a licence but I recently got my Learners and going for my test next week so hopefully I Pass!!

any suggestions about which area I should take my assement test? coz I heard midland are the worst and they always fail ppl over there?? :/

Thanx guys.

Hi Lee, and Welcome.

Look you could pass at any centre, it''l just depend on your ability to show you have the neccessary skills.
I know a guy I used to work with, rode for nearly 10years without a licence, could actually ride well apparently, he was on a Harley most of the time tho, but did have a sports too for a while, wasnt an issue for him till he was hit by a taxi that ran thru a stop sign. He's been to do his test since and failed, cos passing a test and being 'able to ride' are 2 different boxes of fruit.

Its things like walking pace o turns, displaying the right emergency braking technique (just clutch in, dont down shift, but then remembering to gear down after the stop so you dont stall it and get marked down anyway) head and mirror checks, road positioning..
A single 2 hr lesson with an instructor i would recommend might be the best way to go, even if you 'can ride'. They will iron out the bad habbits and get you polished for a test.

Once you have your licence and get properly insured, and have a shadow on those big bikes, we'll see you out on a few rides.

I appreciate that champ thanx for taking the time and explaining all this I will defs have a lesson with the instructor first and then see what happens after that!

Get your lic and in the meantime lock the bikes away and keep yourself out of trouble

Yep. Welcome.

[Lee_nightstar]

[Lee_nightstar]

Just luck I guess but Hopefully I get my licence and be a good boy

Hi and welcome along

What the others have said, passing a test isn't the same as being able to ride, I doubt I'd pass if I went tomorrow

When I got back onto bikes I went through an Instructor and got him to get me test ready even though I didn't need to as I had my licence, but had been off the bikes for a few years.

You are lucky to be fairly central and a few shadows are available in your area, so pass your RE, sort your insurance out if you don't have any, organise a shadow and we'll see you out and about

If you had, had your licence in NSW, then you wouldn't have to frigg around here!!!
