| Hi everybody! I just wanted to share the good news with you all here that today, in a ferocious crosswind, which meant that I had to drive at a 45 degree angle at 90km/h on one stretch of road, I managed to pass my bike test!!  From this day forth I can ride my SW without following my instructor for €50 an hour  I can now start planning my European tour for next summer whilst kitting up my bike for the fast approaching winter! Thanks to everybody here for confirming my belief in choosing the maxi scooter route! SteVe |

| Congratulations, welcome to the freedom of the open road, (two wheeled variety)  . I assume passing your test in Austria means you can ride anywhere within the EU without any problems. (And further afield if you want). Cheers, |

| Good for you Steve. The test is behind you and now all you have to learn is to be on the look out for folks that want to run over you.  You are gonna be an asset to this group. Welcome again. |

| Congratulations mate, go and have a slice of Sachertorte!
Being in Vienna you're ideally placed for touring in quite a few countries. |

| Well done Steve.
A quote from my instructor.
"Well done, from today your true learning starts."
Never a truer word spoken, with 'L' plates removed cages seem to think they can take liberties with your safety. |

| Thank you so much everybody for all of your warm congratulations! I feel like I've found a new family! I'm sure I will be showering you with questions in the coming months, and I will of course pass on my early riding experiences on my beautiful Silver Wing! SteVe |
