troyec001 Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 you still wont be able to ride Right, because the guy I ride with probably blew another part on his bike. I think he'll have some warped valves next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleaveTheGreat Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 I took the test on a friend's '84 Virago 750 because of the better turning radius at slow speed. It didn't wanna start but when it did I passed without any deductions. The test is really easy but the first 3 people in our group failed it.

Zoner1320 Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 Permit for a week then went straight for the test. I did good enough to pass I accidently performed a stoppie at the very end. played it as an accident. Passed though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The King Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 I took mine on a GSXR600.. The only problem was with the cones. The guy in front of me made it through more cones than I did, but he put his foot down once and failed. I missed like 6 cones, but didn't put my feet down...passed..Don't put your feet down.

magley64 Posted June 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 thanks for the tip TK, i've been practicing the course after work pretty much every day...mostly the cones and U-turnI can do those without clutching now (bird rolls at 8-12 mph at idle in first) and almost pull a u-turn inside the "under 600 cc" box...doesn't matter though, mother nature is NEVER going to cooperate... (trying again on wednesday in painesville...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shittygsxr Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 I think the cones are what get most people, If you do everything else right you can just drive straight through the cones and with those points knocked off still pass. If you try to weave through them and put your foot down you will end up failing though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The King Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 The hardest part for me was comming to a complete stop and not putting your feet down...I wonder if they still make you do that?Is the course still over at Allum Creek? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 I think the cones are what get most people, If you do everything else right you can just drive straight through the cones and with those points knocked off still pass.

SWing'R Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 I bought small cones from Lowes to practice for my test. If you buy cones and can get good enough to make it with them you'll have no problem on the test cause they use these little ass tiny things. Theres a video of me running the cones on my scooter on my youtube page...http://www.youtube.com/davidrosso Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fonzie Posted June 22, 2008 Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 +1when i took the test the guy told me its better to just run over a cone than put your foot down.I was kinda nervous even though I'd been goin' out there after hours all the time to practice.....That is untilllll the guy before me on a FatBoy pretty much ran over ALL his cones on the slalom......And still PASSED?!? As soon as I saw that........I was like "Whatever......Gimme my license!!!" Duane......You STILL haven't taken that damn test this week????

DangBruhY Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 I think your best bet would be to go there every week and see if anyone canceled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fusion Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 I think your best bet would be to go there every week and see if anyone canceled. Schedule it out for a future date and then show up to others to see if there are any cancellations or anyone shows up late the first day. We had 2 people show up to our first class date and one of our group was 20 minutes late. At about the 15 minute mark they gave that persons slot to the first person who had shown up trying to get in early. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magley64 Posted June 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 thanks, she donked me 3 points for running over the last cone with my back tire, and then yelled at me for doing the quick stop too fast...(I guess I got above 20 mph) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
