I'm very confused so I have to buy my own scooter to start the test an what if I get stopped by a cop for not having a license since I must ride there

@brocklesner91 If you have put your foot down then you haven't got full control over the bike.

It sounds daft but its true.

No wonder so many 'customers' get hurt and even die on their bikes. This test has NOTHING to do with the very harsh realities they will face on the roads out there.

In AZ when you take the MSF course AND pass, they give you a slip of paper to take to the DMV and you get your endorsement right away, but you still don't know how to ride and will probably go down within 6 mos of riding. Good luck tho and it is all worth it... cycles are fun.

@youfan2222 cant drive on a highway, at night, or two up. but all three at the same time is ok ;)

@TyreezyTyrak Permit? Didn't know their was such a thing. I took the class and passed first time with flying colors. Permit works with an experienced person with you, such as a car. How does a motorcycle permit work?

[youfan2222]

When it comes to slow cornering, it helps to look through through the turn. Intructors stress this and it's best to apply it

[AnonaThetan]

Bottom heavy bikes are better for this test like the harley shown

I would practice this test after hours and i had no problem.as soon as i was being watched and tested i would fuck up...lol

In colorado, you can put your foot down but only so many times. Each time counts as points. If you collect so many points, you fail the test. It should be noted that I, of course, never put my foot down but I did get a few points for stopping a bit too long but that's only because I kept stopping what I felt was too short during practice. Oh well... I passed ;)

[svengalie]

nice one

[TyreezyTyrak]

@sammylife12 that's why you get a permit first. You don't just test without having ridden before

[Nascarrr48]

@sammylife12 were i am your alloud to rent a scooter to take the test
