We had the figure 8's and all too, on the WA one.  Although, I think I remember 'em saying if we dropped the bike, even in practice, we were out, and had to sign up again?  Can't remember.  Maybe that was for the test.

what's up my brotha! yes sir! everything is goin pretty good! we're lookin @ this 3 bedroom house from a friend, that will rent it to us as @ a steal of a price! she's very excited about that ! i'm takin her to an art show on sunday(girls love the stuff we think is corny right?) lol BUT we may hit the gun show first lol so i'll have a little fun !

and i agree! there's a target near my house, i used to go there after the night stock people left(around 12ish) and tear it up lol i remember tryin to challenge myself a little more each time!

the cops showed once, he flicked his lights on because i assume he was there for a little while before i noticed him...BUT luckily i don't have a sportbike(wasn't practicing tricks lol) and when he saw me make a u-turn, stop, take off, stop, take off, lol i guess he knew what i was doing!!!!!

That was included in my MSP class!  I think we had to do it straight, and also with a swerve involved before the stop.  They stood in front of you and after you passed the first line, they held out one arm or the other, pointing left or right.  We had to swerve the correct direction, going fast enough, then come to a stop (yes, both brakes req'd!)  

I've actually been contacted to become an instructor.....  but I told them to give me a year or three...  

Ya'll think ya'll's tests were easy? Check this out.

My test consisted of pretending there were cones set up for a slolem, once around the DMV parking lot, and what they called a quick stop. As long as you had stopped with both feet on the ground and in first gear you passed. The lady conducting the test said it was the slowest quick stop she had ever seen. Oh yeah, and one figure eight around the imaginary cones.

Before my test I had already been riding bikes for over twenty years without a license and decided it was time to get one.

My test was pretty easy. I went & took the written. They told me Id have to trailer the bike up or have a licensed rider take it & let me ride the test course. My license came in the mail before I even made an appointment to go take the riding test...I was happy..

I got my license two years ago.  I made an appointment at the DMV for a road test first thing in the morning.  I got there early and sat out in front til a guy came out and took my paperwork and sent me to a church parking lot across the street to wait for him.  After about half an hour I went back to see if he forgot about me.  He said they couldn't use that lot because there was a service going on.  As he was talking to me another guy came along.  The first guy explained the situation to him and he said he'd take care of me.  He walked me around the corner to a National Guard parking lot and spoke briefly to someone there.  Then he checked all my lights and horn.  Then he pointed at the lot and told me to go ride a circle.  Before I even finished a complete circle he waved me back, told me I was all set and signed my paperwork.
