Can you believe my neighbours knocked on my door at 2am Sunday morning. I would have been annoyed but luckily I was up practicing the bagpipes.

Nice work by everyone involved

Fantastic pressie Streak, and happy belated Birthday Teela, you've got a great guy there!

Marcus · « **Reply #334 on:** September 02, 2013, 12:21:06 PM »

Woah! I had to do a Full day course sit a written exam, eye test, and also take a navigate a riding course (including emergency brakes, low speed riding cornering etc etc)

Couch · « **Reply #335 on:** September 02, 2013, 12:31:20 PM »

Well done Teela, and good luck with the lesson!

Same here Marcus - As we live more than 1 and a half hrs from a testing centre so L's is a computer test and P's is a ride test while the tester stands on a street corner and watches you

Streak · « **Reply #337 on:** September 02, 2013, 01:12:58 PM »

i have to say i got 4 out of 5 right when i went for my learners, so teela got me by one!

Graham left her Stranded Teela purple Kwakka rolled into view,
A gleeful audience knew it was coming and there were many more than a few,
But Teela surprise is revealed the tension will be increased,
And now the blindfold's off, the purple present is released!
Only an Iron man could sustain such a ruse, with transport, labour and farkles,
Helped by an ozSTOC team, that purple Kwakka motorsickel really sparkles!!!!!!

YOU GUYS REALLY KNOW HOW TO HAVE A PARTY. CONGRATS TEELA AND GRAHAM AND THE HELPERS.

The Bike Learner's five questions in Queensland is applicable if you have a current car licence.
The stupidity is, you can't get a bike licence without a car one, which all riders agree is back-to-front.
Car drivers would benefit from having ridden a bike, but since that's not going to happen, they should at least allow those who choose to ride first, sit all the written questions first and then learn to ride.
I might add, the car licence exam is "multiple guess" so you have to really try to fail it.

I completed the Q-ride course to get my QLD license and that later changed to allow me to ride the CX500s (LAMS changes), but I had left it too long before I went higher than the LAMS, so had to do another Q-ride course.
The instructor is a bike fanatic and you have a choice of any of his bikes if you don't have your own for the test.
What I liked about the Q-ride course is that you would sit down and watch a video (or a person riding a bike) and point out the potential risks to the instructor. Then you went out on the bikes and the instructor would set up many courses using withes hats and get you to do slalom riding, quick stops, emergency stops, very slow riding and the like. I have been riding for a long time but still gained some very useful tuition. The good thing is that once you pass the days tests you immediately have your license.

You are also instructed on defensive riding techniques during the video and expected to use them while riding. Our instructor would watch our eyes (thru our mirrors) and body actions to check if we were following these techniques!
