| 1375287 | 2014-05-19 23:18:00 | Hey team - I'm looking at finally getting my Motorbike Licence! So obviously I have to sit my Handling Skills test and get that certiificate before I can go to the AA to get the paper licence but I was just wondering if you have yours, where you sat it and how much it cost you? Cheers, L_N. |

| 1375290 | 2014-05-19 23:51:00 | Just wondering, are scooter riders exempt from this ? I often see them with no real control on take-off. Legs dangling down on the ground untill they pickup speed, sometimes Fred Flintstone style . |

Riders with zero skills, riding scooters that are sometimes so gutless they cant keep up with traffic (on any sort of incline) |

| 1375293 | 2014-05-20 01:01:00 | Yamaha in Henderson, off Railside Ave, the guy is there like 8 -> 10AM most Saturdays AFAIK. Cost around $50 if memory serves me right... and he walks you through everything, gives you a few shots at it, will help make sure you are able to do it and things. Give the Yamaha in Henderson a ring, they'll tell you the details :) | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||

Can't wait!I would seriously consider a bigger bike that you won't out grow so fast, it's along time before you get your full. Remember with the new LAMS laws there is a huge choice going up to 600cc. |
