So a long time buddy of mine has recently decided he wants to start riding - so what better way to introduce him to the open road than with a squirt on the little Burg?
Just stick on an L plate and off we go....
Here's Mikey out at Dayboro with a big shit-eating grin on his face....
That was his first road ride - he's done a few lessons in the local shopping centre carpark with a riding school but first time on the road.
Yeah mate - that's the little 250 scooter I had thrown my way a few years ago with the intention of flipping. I made the mistake of taking my daughter on the back one time and next thing I knew it became our second car

I have a Yamaha 600 that Ill use for training and loaning
If and when I get it road ready
The last rider crashed it and we got it
I picked it up from one of our auctions
Its Small and low and is a good starter bike
Do you have to apply to the local authorities for an "L" plate??
And how long does the learners permit last?
curious minds want to know

The plates can be sourced anywhere - it's not like a number / registration plate that is supplied by DOV. You can get L plates from most gas stations or hardware stores. They are just plastic - most are magnetic so they can be easily fixed to a car.
The learners permit now is the same as a licence - you can renew it indefinitely as long as you pay the fee. It looks exactly like the driver's licence except it has learner under the category.
That seems pretty screwed up.
What percentage of vehicles there are operated by learners?
I imagine licensed drivers are few and far between....why bother to take a driving test when you can simply be a lifetime learner?

Sorry - I probably wasn't too clear on this - a learner is not allowed to ride or drive by themselves - they need to be accompanied by a driver with an open licence for that class of vehicle.
Sweet
I think he will enjoy the Rebel
I have hard very good reviews on that bike and it is a good looking bike aswell
I hope to hear about his many adventures in the future
Im trying to get a neighbor on my Yamaha 600 as soon as I finish repairs and re route the throttle cables
In my haste to move I routed the Push /Pull system wrong and sense it has been here someone stole the speedo
Other then the speedometer and a replacement for the bent shiftier I have all the parts to get it street legal
I may try and straighten the shiftier though
May I suggest watching

He is a retired New York Motor Officer that teaches an advanced rider course
He has a way of doing a one on one with his riders s
Same stuff as Jerry Paladino "Ride Like a Pro" just a different approach
We went for ride out today and when we got back to his place he said I should take it for a spin. Nice neutral handling, comfy ergos, surprisingly peppy motor and pretty relaxed at speed. ABS as well.
Not surprised that Honda use this engine for a bunch of bikes - it's got nice torque but also revs out if you want.
