Yeah, its just like target fixation: you focus so much on not failing, you mess your head up.

Get more rest next time and calm down. I completely blew the Figure 8 and almost nerved myself into a fail on the ebrake. Just say to yourself "2 more weeks"

MSF is usually much easier from what I hear. The instructors at mine said that the only ways to fail were pretty much to
  • Drop the bike
  • Stunt
  • Prove you were completely hopeless on a motorcycle and denying you a license would be a gift to the worrld

Plus they gave 2 tries if you muffed something.

Whew! That sounds better. I can't wait to go and LEARN more about riding. There is a difference between riding and thinking I know how to ride. In my head I know what to do but actually doing it is different. I know I need practice, practice, and more practice. I'm comfortable with turning, shifting, and stopping. (the basics) I really want to know what to do in emergency situations so I can feel more prepared. Mainly emergency stops. And to learn ways to avoid ways to bad situations.

I am going to be a sponge in that class.

Its all good bro. I would rather take that class then rent a scooter but The next available class is a month after I go again in 2 weeks but I don't want to wait and I don't feel like I can dedicate 3 days to the course at the moment.

I received my license, but the test was physically impossible on my F4. I walked the course with the bike and showed the woman that it just wan't physically possible to weave between the cones.

She gave me my license anyways because it was obvious that I could drive.

My dad was making fun of me. This test has always been bull****. The first time he went to take his test his licensed rider who accompanied him got his bike impounded for not having a front fender...

Can you even take the test on a scooter? Does it have to be over a certain size?

HA - I didn't even have a rider accompany me. In fact I never rode with a person while I had my permit. I forgot that was a requirement until you just mentioned it - HAHA.
