I rode there by myself. They didn't say anything. Lets go to " Big Lots " together. Yoshi wants to practice it too. PM me your cell and we'll try Sat or Sun.


later,

I actually asked the lady when i signed up that question. Her response: Well...we really don't pay attention how you get here (wink). So I wouldn' worry about it.

P.S. The test is REALLY EASY, just don't stall it.

I rode to my test session by my self and he just reminded me that passing doesn't mean I have my license yet. just remember to look straight ahead through your slalom run. good luck, and make sure your relaxed its not a big deal.

Everyone said how hard it was on a sport bike.....I found it extremely easy. If you wanna get some practice in, just set up some basic slalom, u turns and other stuff in like a vacant parking lot. I used Tennis balls cut in half to lay out a small course to practice on. Or just go down to the Big Lots parking lot, if you have good control at slow speeds you'll be fine.

it is harder on larger long wheel base bikes. the ideal bike is a small dual sport bike

The cones are 12ft apart, at 2 feet offset. if you drew 2 parallel lines 2 feet apart, and placed a cone every 12 feet alternating, you'd have the idea. I think there are only like 5 cones.

It's not gonna be entertaining, just pure practice. We can meet up at Performance at noon. The driving test is right down the road from there.

Brandon, Neil, will this time work out for you guys?

Noon is cutting it a bit close for me (have meeting in AM and church right after), but I live like dead smack between performance and Big Lots. So if I'm not there, head over and I'll meet ya at the lot.

Performance at noon works for me. I need to practice cause i just wanna go take the test instead of waiting till next year to take the class. I had bought some small cones to setup and practice with thats why i was asking if i should bring them to set up. Unless there is markers already setup

Well it's off of Chicago Dr, east of 31. But yes it's the one by the toyota dealer, express island liqour on the left hand side of the road if your going west on Chicago Dr. If you can make it there they should be able to see ya.
