National Driving Test

[Anonymous]

just watched that national driving test thing on 9, pretty interesting (if not commercialised and piss-weak). Anyone else catch it?

saw the figures for 'who are the safest road users" an guess who won?
*MOTORCYCLISTS*
could it be true? Something we riders have known to be true for ever is now going to be exposed to the rest of Oz's road users?

and we get labelled as "dangerous"
pfft

Hi guys. Sweet site, some nice stuntin action. Went out to watch a few of the boys in malaga a month or so ago to have a look and now i'm hooked. Think i will have to get the road licence soon but racing keeps my wallet empty at the moment!!

Sup Ben. Yeh we have done a couple recently, very enjoyable yes. As far as track times go, we have never gone to the trouble of timing a run. We have just gone out to have some fun and learn.

What bike do u ride on the track?

[Ben]

I ride an R1 in the State Superbike champs.

Excellent! You could teach us all a thing or two.

What do you ride on the road?

[Ben]

Thats my problem, I don't have road licence or bike and i would be a pussy on the road. Me and the old man are slowly building up an early 90s gixxer but it will have one of his ex sidecar race engines in it, 1100 taken out to 1200cc and had a pretty good workin over so that should be a bit of a rocket. Probly won't turn but i will have to take it out for a spin.

[Deej]

Sounds insane.

[ChOOkiE]

nice dood.. very nice
might have to start getting your normal licence so you can ride that thing LEGALLY on the roads.. gotta wait 1 year before big bike licence

[Ben]

Yeah thats another thing that has stopped me from getting the licence at the moment. I couldn't ride around on a 250 for a year...... not quite the same rush as the r1 I will have to get me licence before i go riding though.

[Nick7r]

How old is ya ben?

its pretty funny.. u can ride an r1 prob better than most, but will have to have a 250 for a year.. doesnt add up :?

cya round
