Default my personal dmv test course

well i went to take the dmv behind the wheel motorcycle test last week.
msf is alot cheaper if u have a licence. so i figured id give it a shot. and see how hard it is. nothing to loose really.
long story short. on my last time around this circle, my foot tapped the ground out of instinct. and i was automatically failed. so the instructor said i can come back after hours and practice all i want. so i DID that. and i also decided to take all the measurments and make on on the street closer to home. so here is the out come.















UPDATE:
By popular demand here is the DIY for your at home DMV practice course.

The second picture is the route in which you take on the test at the DMV. The Pink is part 1 of the test and the Blue is part 2. Part 3 was just shifting which he wouldnt let me do since I put my foot down on part 2. If anyone has any questions about the diagram or if you want any more details PM me or just reply here.

We do a figure 8 in PA, and what helped me alot in it is to keep looking as far to over as you can towards where you want to go and use the clutch and rear brake

when i practiced at the dmv on my 636 i couldnt go in the circle counter clockwise without tapping. so i tried my friends f4i.....now i couldnt do clockwise circles. but i said F it and went to my test and passed with flying colors...... but yeah practice makes perfect in most cases.

its the torrance dmv. i heard they have an easy test to pass thats why i went there.

it would be funny if it rained. but the cars hauling *** through it erased some of it allready..


and it was really freakin hot today so i skipped the gear. since i was just infront of my house going under 5mph. and i DO know the importance of gear.


for diagram that is very confusing. pm me. or ill just it up here

GA's test is MUCH easier than that. But I guess georgia doesnt have anything but straight roads anyway.

Easiest way to do it is to turn up your idle and just use the clutch the whole way around the circles and no throttle at all.

And btw, get a meal or something skeletor. Hahaha jfwy.
