Congrats to your wife. I our class they told us up front if you drop the bike in the class exercise you fail. No one did so I don't know if they would have failed anyone.

when i took the motorcycle test about 16 years ago,all i had to do is basiclly ride in a big circle in a parking lot, then stop in a box.. WTH is the point of the figure eight? if you were riding figure eights in a parking lot, a cop would stop you and give a ticket for reckless operation or something.. same state, i had to parallel park a tractor trailer to get a CDL.. any one on here ever have to parallel park a semi anywhere?? i never did it or saw it done again after the test.
The point of a figure 8 is to show you have proper clutch technique and control of the throttle brakes and balance.

Congrats to Amy. She should be proud. Now comes the tough part. When she goes for a ride on her own. Took all I had not to follow the wife and make sure she had nobody tailing her, deer running out, some asshat making a left hand turn,....
Love that she can ride on her own. But secretly wish she was nagging in my ear.
