Got my M endorsement today

Passed the DMV test in ohio today. Lost points for letting up on the throttle for the swerving exercise. Passed the cones and u-turn no problem on my F4i.

I think the only points i lost were from going too slow on the figure 8, even though i never touched the ground with my foot.

Swerve maneuver needs to be conducted at a fairly brisk speed, otherwise its useless...

I got a warning to go faster through the drill the first time, but flew threw it no problem on the second run

I felt I had a good speed, its done on the same line as the braking exercise, I was probably going faster I just didn't want to come in too hot and fail on the last maneuver.

Just got back from the DMV also to get the M endorsement added to my license. MSF turnaround for the waiver was a lot faster than I expected.

The only place I lost points was going outside the box on the figure 8. Stupid cruisers

I dont think I could do the u-turn box on any bike I have owned. Eventhough I was able to do it easily with the dual sport that was supplied at the msf.

I laugh when those cruisers roll up, defiantly insane trying to pass on one of those.

Thats the easiest thing in the world. You just have to shift most of your weight to the opposite side you are turning, turn the handlebars, and lean the bike towards where you are turning. Easy as pie.
