On a side note, does anyone else think the NSW rider liscence laws are ridiculus? I have been riding dirt bikes since I was about 7 and it takes me a year and a half to get my liscence, riding around on my clunky old bmw r65. But my teacher at school, never riden before, jumped straight on his new ducatti a week after having no liscence at all, to being unrestricted.
I dont think its about bike skills as much as maturity and road sense- (I'm assuming NSW has a program similar to Q-ride)
the statistics speak for themselves when it comes to 17-25 y/o bike riders. I reckon once you have had 5-7 years of driving experience you should be able to get an unrestricted licence straight up, provided that you can demonstrate an ability to handle the equipment both on the road and on the track...... Q-ride isn't rigourous enough.
meanwhile (in WA) I'll be sitting out my remaining 10months & 2 weeks on a gutless 250
