fooswinger Posted March 6, 2006 Report Share Posted March 6, 2006 Well I'm looking to get my temps on saturday so I can go riding and everyone tells me you'll fail the first time. If I throughly go through that book I think I should be fine right? Let me know if anyone else had problems w/the temps test?Anything I should know or if anyone remembers any certain trick questions. thanks fellas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Got-Boost? Posted March 6, 2006 Report Share Posted March 6, 2006 I would call the DMV office and see what "THEY" expect you to do locally. Every place is different so they may want to see something that isn't in the book. That will also give you an idea of what you have to work with if it takes place in there parking lot or wherever. For the hell of it, you could go out and practice a few times if you are a beginner. Otherwise, I would think it is pretty easy. In Texas, they would just follow you in a car and honk for left or right and then watch your line and score you on handling the bike. But in Mississippi, they said go to the end of the parking lot turn around and come back. No problem but the lot was barely big enough to turn a sportbike around in PLUS it was gravel so....things could get sporty depending on the local requirements....

Gergwheel1647545492 Posted March 6, 2006 Report Share Posted March 6, 2006 read throught the ENTIRE! book. and you have to do it word for word, then you should pass the first time. i failed the first time, but i didn't study at all. then i went back and retook it after studying, and got a 93 or something like that.

Got-Boost? Posted March 6, 2006 Report Share Posted March 6, 2006 My post was in relation to the RIDING porting when you are ready for your license. The book test you def need to study because shit you would NOT do is on the test.... Someone that doesn't ride wrote the test from what I could tell. Do they still have on there to ride in the center of the lane? Dumb asses..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fooswinger Posted March 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2006 alright sweet....that's what I'm gonna do all this week.I hate going to the dmv...and I'll be damned If I have to pay 50 bucks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gergwheel1647545492 Posted March 6, 2006 Report Share Posted March 6, 2006 no you only pay once. if you fail, you just have to wait 24 hrs to re-take it again. When i failed i thought i was gonna have to pay again and i got PISSED, then later found out that i could take it again free of charge.

Balian Posted March 6, 2006 Report Share Posted March 6, 2006 Yea, never failed..It is all comon sense. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supldys Posted March 6, 2006 Report Share Posted March 6, 2006 yeah I never failed. Lot of questions about drunk driving, or just even in-car driving. Most of it is common sense so dont get too worried, just read the book a few times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grease monkey Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 I passed on the first try, rode the bike for a few months, sold the bike got a MUCH bigger bike, went and took the riding portion of the test on a shadow 1100, if it's possiable to pass on a big ass heavy crusier bike, with no turning radius, and the damn cones were spaced at my wheel base, damn near anyone should be able to pass. When I took the riding portions, everyone passed, except for one kid on a gixxer 750, he dropped it during the cone weave. I kinda felt bad for him, the damn bike was brand new, still had the temp tags on it. I think he dropped it cause the bike was too tall for him.

blazinjr Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 I passed my temp test on the first try. 3 months later I took my driving test and passed it with a perfect score. A guy I work with told me if I could go from steering lock to steering lock doing figure 8's at low speed and keep my feet off the ground then going through the cones is a cake walk. He was right.

lemosley01 Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 I passed my temp test everytime I got them (I kept going year-after-year). This last time, after getting my bike and having been out of it for 6 years, I got my temp packet ($22 as opposed to the $6.50 they used to be WTF?), and sat in the parking lot to read through the book, then went and took the test. It was as easy as I remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cptn janks Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 i took the temp test out on alum creek dr. i think they fucked up though and gave me the test for getting a car license, because there were NO motorcycle related questions on the test. it was all car shit, like which way do you pull over when an ambulance is coming, and who has right of way when 2 cars come to a 4 way stop at the same time.

SpaceGhost Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 Pased them twice never failed, took the MSF class learned a lot, and now I have my endorsement. My year of probation is over in August. The bitch was when I got my endorsement I had to get a new licence = $24. My old licence expires in april on my B-day. Now the new licence still expires on my B-day this year! WTF! SO I have to pay another $24! :bs: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balian Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 Yea, that happened to me when I got my M endorsement. Stupid license..You would think that they would renew them when you get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
