Good for him It will be fun to be able to ride with your son I wish my boys would have wanted to ride.

http://www.motorcycle.ohio.gov/MO_skill_test.pdf Here is an answer that might be more helpful The test itself is composed of seven elements which are: •Left Turn •Controlled Stop •Offset Weave •Right Hand U-Turn •Quick Stop •Obstacle Swerve •Stalling The first six are usually combined so that you will make four separate runs composed of a left turn then a controlled stop, followed by a second run composed of the offset weave to a right hand U-turn. The quick stop and obstacle swerve are done separately. Stalling is listed as one of the seven exercises but the only thing examiners consider is the ability to operate the bike without stalling during the course of the test. The test is graded on deductions. Every state can set up their own deduction schedule as well as the maximum number of allowable points so the following information is typical but may be different in your state. The majority of states appear to use 10 points as the maximum allowed for passing. Deductions are earned for riding outside boundary lines, putting a foot down and missing or hitting cones. Stalling the motorcycle will also earn deductions as will skidding during the normal stop segment. The point deductions for putting a foot down are usually 3 points for the first time during a specific exercise and 5 points maximum for the second and subsequent faults. Stalling once is a 1-point deduction, 3 points for second time and a maximum of 5 points for three or more stalls. Skipping or hitting cones in the offset weave have deductions of 3 points for the first cone and 5 for two or more. Other deductions will be covered in the individual descriptions of the exercises. The test will be terminated if the motorcycle is dropped or if it is operated in an unsafe manner, such as running over the examiner! The test will also be terminated if the rider has accumulated enough points to fail or has repeatedly failed to understand or follow instructions. The rider also has the option of quitting at any time. Took my test back when I was 16 on a Harley Sportster past first try practice practice practice so you do not have to put your feet down.

There have been more of you guys take yourselves out in the last 2 months on this board then any of the ALR chapters here in Ohio in the last 5 years even with help from cagers and yes I was one of them girl on a cell running a stop sign.

When I was in my 20s I was going to move to California My grandfather talked me out of it. One of his arguments was. If you were able to pick up the USA by its two handles (Florida and Maine) and shook it that’s where all the loose nuts and fruit would fall.

Happy Mother’s Day to all you Mothers out there

Not to interrupt the butt fest but don’t you think this tread should be moved to the NWS forum ?

I stopped at a store on my way home from work got lucky and found a front row spot went in for about 15 minutes. When I came back out some guy had his 4 year old sitting on my bike this had me a little upset but what really got me was the kid had a chocolate ice cream cone and was dripping it all over my bike when I walked up to them the guy saw my helmet and says Is this yours its a nice looking bike. In my calmest vice I could muster I told him it was but that I was fighting the urge to hit him in the face with my helmet right now and not in the mood to talk. At that point he grabbed his kid and ran off. What was this guy thinking how would he feel in someone let their kids play in his car. RANT OVER

Good way to get put on the sex offender list :lol:

Rout 82 E. Aurora Rd. and Golden Link Boulevard when turning left in to Lowes or Golden Corral be careful in the center of the 2 left turning lanes there are several pot holes running parallel to the road that are 4 inches wide and 4 inches deep and about 6 feet long they will pucker your azz if you put a front wheel in to one of them

This one always makes me laugh Have no Idea what they were thinking:lol:

You may want to take a few rides with the cruisers a nice slow long ride is more of a stress releaser and will help your skill level than the quickies you will get with the sportriders.
