Get your license.

Don’t let another driver off the hook after you get run down because you can not  
follow the absolute bare minimum traffic law.

The MSF is worth it… without knowing to practice a rapid decrease in speed mid corner,  
I would have been swimming in the river because I looked down for a fraction of a second.

dude, the turning radius of your bike shouldnt be an excuse or reason why you failed. PRACTICE the figure 8’s, and slow tight circles and go back and re-take the test.

ha well if he failed you he did it for a reason. keep riding around with your permit when you cant pass your real test…makes perfect sense…

I also have serious questions regarding your ability if you’ve (supposedly) been riding for 2 seasons and still cannot demonstrate VERY basic control and pass your drivers test.

+1, It might not even necessarily be the touching of your feet.

Just practice your slow manuevers and sign up to try again.

take the MSF course, really. they use 250cc cruiser-type bikes, theres a few 250cc Ninjas and a couple 500cc korean pieces of crap, but really…take the course. you won’t regret it.

I think the point has been made. Don’t need anymore to pile on.
