Motorcycle driver's test

[GPMAZ]

First license test on a Honda 150 in 1963 on my 16th birthday. Three previous years on a Honda 50 were unlicensed, not old enough. A large bike would have been a Honda 305.

Back in 1980, I used a '77 CB400F, inspector was concerned that I had brought a race bike to get checked out on and that a 400cc engine was too big to be allowed on public roads... He thought my open face Bell helmet with black rimmed goggles was too much like the motorcycle gangs Hollywood protrayed as being cool and coutioned me that I should always respect the law and not join a group of bikers...

after practicing a while i took mine on a sportster everything perfect till the very end when i forgot to straighten it up in a corner at the end,over it went( failed ). had to come back the next day and passed.

Took mine on a '79 GS 1000. Passed with flying colors, but back then it wasn't much of a challenge. Most people thought you were crazy for riding a bike anyway so basically I took the written and then the State Trooper followed me around the block once. When I got back to the office they already had my license ready . Of course it doesn't hurt that I took the test in Louisiana and nearly my entire extended family was involved in some sort of local politics

In the military we have to periodically retake an MSF course. I took my first course on a Suzuki Boulevard C50... gutless little 800cc. I've found that my Rocket handles far better than the C50, so the MSF courses are easier.

Over here when you move to different states you have to renew your liscence and renew every 5years . They forgot and I didn't notice they hadn't put my bike or my boat liscence back on .several years passed and while driving down the hi way I saw these monstrous bikes go by. when I saw the word triumph on the tank.well that was it I bought it . here if you let your liscence lapse for three years you have to do it again ,so I did it on the r3 .they were pretty impressed that while putting me through the tests that the r3 did every thing as well as any other bike . I did something I should not have and rode the bike for 12,000 km,s previously with out the correct liscence so I had some experience when testing to get my liscence .

Back in the day i went to change my drivers license from Cali to Oklahoma, i asked what i needd to get a motorcycle endoresment, they asked how long i have been riding motorcycles, i said about 10 years, they gave me the endorsement no questions asked

I rode without an endorsement from 1966 til 1994, when I finally got it. Passed my test on my 750 Nighthawk.

I did my license fairly recently, did it on a 600cc IL4 Honda and had to do a theory test, module 1 in a enclosed compound demonstrating slow maneuvers and general good bike control (no faults accepted) then module 2 on the road followed by an examiner....it's not easy in the UK!

Ruzzle, you had it too bloody easy
