I could not pass these tests. My bikes' idles stumble and surge, so a get pulled in or out of a low-speed circle/8 before I react. I do handle steep hills up/down, some with blind curves, rutted roads with shiney tar or white paint sections, 2 lane hways with no divider but steel guardrails (hate them), and some roads that angled-off sideways into the woods. I can straighten & stop on a dime, look into curves, shift up and down as needed, not fixate. What a failure.

i have a question for anyone that can answer it.

i went to the dmv in hanford ca. and i was told that i could not get an extension on my permit and i would have to wait 6 months before i could renew it and i would have to take the CHP course in visalia before i could get my permit again then take the motorcycle skills test at the dmv to get my actual license is this all true? every time i go in and ask somebody always tells me something different so i dont know what is true and whats not

[MrJustus88]

the purpose of a driving test is to test ability of drivers in real life situations. These motorcycle tests does not represent real life situations

On a motorcycle this test is silly hard. Take the MSF course, you'll learn way more and it'll be easier.

@wingersx i dont know if you have taken it yet but its really easy bro. u can take the riding course on a 150cc scooter and its really easy then.

California has to remove this test and implement a new one! My motorcycle's throttle conflicts with my gas tank, thus stalling out my engine half around the circle. The only way to pass this test is to have a non-sport bike.
