What do I need to be prepared to do at this. Got a date for next Friday. Couldn’t get into a Motorcycle Safety Course when I wanted so I’m going to just take a road test before I take the course. ---

Basically be able to do the slow-speed moves and the figure 8; those are the toughest parts. Other than that, just follow every rule of the road. ---

And so what if you didn’t get in when you wanted too… why are you taking the road test early? Just ride on a permit, I did for 2 years with no problems. ---

I didn’t want to wait for the MSF paperwork so after I passed the MSF course I took a road test. You get directions from the instructor who follows you in the passenger seat of the car that came with you. “Turn here, here, and here. Then pull over and wait.” He then gets out of the car and instructs you to do 2 left hand circles, 2 right hand circles, and 2 figure eights. All on an empty side street, without putting your foot down. ---

:word: that about sums it up. Practice your figure 8s on a slim 2 lane road and youre good. ---

Yea, and I recommend not taking a sport bike if at all possible. The 2 times I took it and failed it both due to taking a sportbike and the lady (same chick both times) being a complete bitch and her basically taking me on a road that was almost impossible to do the figure 8s, and u’s on… it was barely 2 lanes, and was so crowned the middle of the road was probably 2+ feet higher than the edges. And I followed her after I took my test when she was doing the next one (He came with a cruiser) and she took him onto a flat 2-3 lane road for his stuff… ---

when I was in the car for my friend bob’s road test, the lady told me “I think as soon as a mans butt touches the seat of a motorcycle, his brains turn to mush.” she sucked, but he passed anyway if you need someone with you I have a bike license (you have to have a licensed rider in a car to drive the person around) [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/motorcycle-road-test/26940.md?page=2)
