Pure hell, torture and impossible u-turns blindfolded. Take the MSF and bypass the torment and embarrassment.[&:]

depends where you're at. here in sacramento they make you drive in a straight line, weave through some cones driver 2 times to the left and then2 times to the right in a round about cirlce that your front tire must stay within th elines or you fail. then you exit that ride back in a straight line and remembering that at NO time can you put your feet down untill the exam is complete.

my friend who lived in bakerfield had to do a road test just like you would in a car . the instructor just followed him and gave him instructions thats it. so the best way to know what to expect is go to your local dmv office and ask.

if its in cali take the MSC at a community college and be done with it....at the DMV if you touch a foot you basically fail...unless you get some slacker proctor that doesn't care.

I hear that in NJ its pretty tough, alot of ppl rent scooters to take it because a normal sized bike is jsut to heavy to do most of the manuevers.... i went for the MSF class instead

To Fail..
i took the msf course and they still test u, and they give u a written test too, but u dont fail if u put a foot down once. i failed the u turn cuz of that but thats it.

same thing in FL...
i passed the computer exam in the beggining, and then the skill test in a month...past from the first time...just go there early in the morning before everybody comes to work, and practice on the field for a while...
