dmv written test
how hard is the dmv written test to get your m class? i just completed the msf this past tuesday and went to read the dmv's little booklet about bikes and realized its filled with stupid irrelevant stuff, i dont need to know about why dmv would like me to wear boots, or what steps they recommend for me to stop my friends from driving drunk, is it a law? no? then they should stfu about it and teach me what i need to know, damn i hate dmv

smirnoFFz,
MSF= motorcycle safety course and is a two day instructional and road(parking lot) course that teaches the proper way to handle a bike. at the end of the course you are tested on the skills that you learn and given a pass/fail. if you pass then this waives the dmv road test which is damn near impossible on anything other than a 250cc. classes are offered thru Tidewater Community college and Thomas Nelson Community College. TNCC offers the weekday courses and doesn't seem to fill as quick as the TCC ones do.

Re: dmv written test
Isn't hard at all. I had to go back yesterday to go through the whole process because when they revoked my drivers license, my m class went with it.. So I wasn't prepared for that at all. I thought I would just have to take the riding test and be done with it. Get there, take the written test, miss 2 questions.. take the riding test, and aced it. Got my m class back and had a good day altogether. Just take your time and really THINK about the questions before you answer. Don't second guess though.
I've NEVER read the book or practiced the test before. The first time I took it I missed one, and yesterday I missed two. It's cake if you have common sense.

You just have to remember this one thing: LOW SPEED!!! The clutch and the brakes are your friend, not the throttle. My DMV test person was really cool and friendly.
to add to what you said, i find the front brakes to be useless for slow speed stuff, i like to ride the back brakes, feather clutch, and feather gas. or a trick i heard is to raise your engine idle speed alittle so really you only have to feather the clutch and ride the rear brake.
