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!!

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      You still want a proper tune on the stock ECU though. Stock tune + stock ECU with GT-SS/-9s is probably playing with fire if you're running more than stock airflow/power.

      Definitely a hearty eater when we go out, I consider these meals my cheat day as I've been watching my calories in and calories out pretty hard since my little fun size stroke, I've gone from a fat boy of 89 Kg, I'm only 165cm tall/short, down to a almost semi lean 73 Kg over the last few years, I'm currently around 17% body fat which my doctor is very happy with, but, my goal is to slowly get down to and maintain 15%,so yeah, I want all of the protein, carbs, fats and sugars when I go out for a binge

      There was a great one on Victoria Rd in Gladesville too back in the day. I can only assume GTSBoy is thinking of the mill up on the wollondilly, no restaurant there any more but they have restored the original steam engine on site and run it every few months, have an annual steampunk festival etc @The Bogan, you came to the wrong town for restaurants. we have a few reasonable asian and indian options but the Paragon is as good as it gets otherwise. That brewery is apparently just opened, been meaning to give it a go some time. The Highlands have plenty of fancy options but I suspect you are more a hearty eater than fancy eater
