LEARNER RIDERS Every few weeks we take some time out to help our customers pass their P's test. On some Saturdays from 4 to 5pm behind Lennock Motors in Bellona Court we have the test marked out, we walk riders through the test so you know what to practice before the big day. Remember to get off your L's as soon as possible, don't leave it a full year and have to do your L's a second time. Getting your P-licence means you can travel at the speed limit in NSW, and take a passenger sooner!
Next Dates:
Saturday October 7
Saturday November 4
