Default Got my M class

Well im happy, got my M class today. Had my permit for about a month but only rode the bike maybe 5 days then went to the dmv to do the road test. YAY!!

Just wanted to clear up what the road test is at the dmv (newportnews) because i seen alot of new riders (or old riders with no license) ask what the test actually is.

Well first they make u go straight and make a left 90 degree turn inside of these lines ( pretty close couple feet apart.) and then keep going around and make a slow controlled stop with your front tire inside a square box(cant be touching lines and u cant put your foot down until your stopped and inside the lines) cant skid either.

Then comes the staggered cone weave course. About 5 cones and you have to weave through them at any speed. Cant put your foot down or hit cones. then u continue around and do a wide u turn with in the lines (how big the lines are depend on you CC size.)

Then you do a fast accelerating and once u cross the red cones you stop as fast and as safe as u can. Skidding does not matter.
After that u accelerate again and once u pass that same red cone you have to either make a right or left turn really quick and dodge a red line and then come to a controlled stopped. And thats it. I passed with only one deduction i ran over one cone in the weave.

You get 3 points deducted for every foot down and more for other things like hitting cones. I think if u pass 10 points u fail. I thought it was pretty simple and ive only been riding for days. The weave was the hardest and i can see that giving people probs...just keep your head up and dont accidently bleep the throttle . u can go as slow as you want.

Well thats it... oh and i would like to point out that there is still TONS of stuff i need to learn about how to rider bikes and what not and mi not gonna go out there and think im some pro just because i passed the dmv test : ) Ill be taking her easy.
