Well, I completed the first step to my motorcycle rider learner licence this week.
I have finished the 7 hours (over 2 days) training course and obtained my certificate of competency.
The course dealt with the theory and practice of riding with an emphasis on safe riding. I had to re-learn how to ride after un-learning some of what I had learnt from my riding days in India in my 20's. It's interesting to learn a 'system' after my seat-of-the-pants earlier experience.
They provide the bikes (Honda 250 cc's) and the gear- helmet and gloves.
The course was made more interesting by the typically laconic Aussie bloke we had as our instructor. Though Lachlan (call me Lochie or 'Hey You') looked a boyish 30 with his spiky blonde hair and earrings, he was probably closer to 40. He had the standard-issue laid back self deprecating humour that made some of the boring, pedantic parts of the instruction a little easier to bear.
Next step, to take the computer-based Driver Knowledge Test...stay tuned.
