    If you heard the bogans in cars (and some on bikes) round here, nothing you could do with your 250 would be considered "loud". So as Phil said - just enjoy it :)

    Ride your bike until you know how it reacts with the power you have. You might be surprised how much lean you can get in corners. Then once you know it start to get the HP up.

    I'll feel better when I pass the course. Have never been nervous while driving or on the road except when I was doing it before. Was getting far too tense and unable to think.

    Yeah I've done it a few times, the questions are practically the same as the L's test for car which I've done previously

    Yeah pretty much. For anyone else doing this the first time, the answers to the questions aren't necessarily just "correct" - but the "most correct"

    Make sure you read the questions and answers properly!

    Well it's been a few days. I've done the test again, got my license and the bike. Except the mechanic neglected to put my L plate back on :)
