Don't you have to renew your temps every 6 months? But yeah, all those restrictions are true. I had 2 months of riding experience (even 2 months of something with only 2 wheels) before I said screw it and just took the test. I was riding with guys that had their license and if I ever got picked up, I'd be screwed because I was breaking all those rules. Took the test on an R6 and passed the first time. I had SO many people tell me that I'd fail the first time since it was so hard but I proved them wrong. Don't listen to others - just attempt to take it and if you pass, you'll have all that stuff lifted off your shoulders and won't have to hide from the po po.
