If you have a fair bit of experience with dirt bikes etc I doubt you will have any problems. I haven't done the test but I have a few mates who had 0 experience on a bike and they got through it no problem. Once I get my license back I'll be doing mine :(

Good for you mate! don't listen to what others say about how dangerous bikes are - ride for yourself and yourself only!

well i got my motorbike P's last year and had less EXP than you, like next to nothing... i did one day and got my licence. you will be fine as long as you listen to the instructor. If your going to Rocklea Pro Honda, you will most likely get Trent - hes a really top guy!

good luck and dont stress, shit your pants before you go because you wont have time to shit whilst on the bike!

yeah my only tip is soak up everything they say...

forget everything you think you know, just do exactly what they say and you will be fine...

dont be ashamed if you need a second day to get your license there is no rush, safety first not just for you but for all motorists...

I wouldn't do it through Honda, but that's only based on what a couple of ppl have told me.... I went through a bloke in Caboolture, top guy. Rick Haidle I'm pretty sure his name is.

I've heard good things about honda, what have you heard?

Advanced rider Training, wouldn't be the go for me.

No experience on road bikes, very little on dirt bikes years ago.

Will keep looking around.

If anyone knows of any course/provider for someone like me, let me know. Also rough cost as well.

Cheers

I haven't heard a lot. Just that its not one on one like it was for me with my instructor. If I made a mistake I got great feedback and intruction on how to improve, which pretty much guaranteed a pass. It is really really simple to get the licence. The hard part is day to day riding and having to watch out for maniac's trying to kill you at every oportunity.

In saying that I wouldn't swap my bike for anything, I love it!

lol, a little bias in play there, mr gabnr?

haha, thanks for pointing that smity. But i work for honda cars, not bikes. It was when i was working at holden, i got told to go to honda for q ride. So no, not being bias at all. But yeah, i get what you mean jaser34, i've seen a group of L's bikes getting around near the honda in rocklea.

If anyone is biased to honda bikes its me :P I love em! But I just wanted the one on one and I really think it was worth it. I think I paid $300 and it took from about 8am till lunchtime. Then I went home and rode all afternoon!!

woo hoo jase.. free bump!

Sunday is the day, cant wait!!

on a funny note, Wife say "what are we doing valentines day?' I say " Not sure what your doin, Im going to get my bike licence so i can spend the weekends riding with my mates!" lol..GOLD!

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
