Default license test

Ok, so I've been riding around on my permit since last September. I feel pretty comfortable on the bike and need to go and take my test for my license. I guess I'm sort of psyching myself out about it.

I see a lot of idiot riders around the area so the test can't be that hard. I guess I'm looking for some moral support lol.

Just make sure you're comfortable with the slow stuff and you'll be fine. I've found that in most cases they are pretty lax about it.

Its a piece of cake. You should do ok. I think they should make the tests way harder to weed out some of the riders that make us look silly. Just sayin

Keep your nerves at bay, don't over think things and you'll be fine. It's not that hard.

Good deal. Thanks guys.
I figure as long as I don't over think things/maneuvers, I'll be fine.

It could be like Alabama, they use book test only & if you pass on the bike info, they throw in a watercraft certification with it.

do yourself a favor depending on where you live and rent a Scooter type bike(around 75.00). it makes the test a breeze.

here is where i went.
