Title: Made it OFFICIAL today!
Post by: highnoonhunter on May 01, 2007, 07:53:54 PM
Got my liscense!

Exercise 1- Done OK through the "L" turn and the stop-in-the-box.
Exercise 2- Touched one cone in the slow speed cone weave, and touched the line at the end where I had to make a right hand 18 foot U-Turn. (My friend by the way, used my bike, different DMV representative, and she let him turn the 20 foot U-turn, instead of the 18 footer!)
Exercise 3- Got a couple point deductions on the third exercise which was speeding up for about 30 feet from a standstill, and then getting on the brake to try and stop in the shortest distance possible. (I had to trailer my bike and it hadn't got warmed up yet, and it kinda bogged on the pullout!)
Exercise 4- And the the forth exercise was pretty much the same as exercise 3, except you had to swerve, instead of brake after gunning it from a standstill. Did fine on that exercise.

All in all, I had 8 deduction points but still passed.

Been riding my little GS for nearly all the rest of the day! Yea, I'm happy!

My friend unfortunately failed.  :cry: He had 19 point deductions before he finished exercise 2. They told him to go home and come back and try another time. I'm glad I didn't touch my foot down! He did twice, among other things!
