Congrats, now you are the proud owner of a stamped permit that says you can ride a small bike in a parking lot pretty well. DON'T just throw away everything you learned, it works, trust me!

HAHAHAHAH DUDE THAT IS SO TRUE!!!!

My sincerest congrats as well!

You have achieved the first of many steps that it takes to become a good rider. I applaud your desire to approach riding the correct way. I trust that you already know that nobody masters the art of riding. We are continuously learning throughout our riding years.

So enjoy the sport and always ride your own ride.

Well done, doode!

in Mass we could prepay the license fee and then once you pass the course MSF sends your card and the registry sends your license as soon as MSF sends them the papers saying you passed.

waht kind of bikes they use out in CA for the class, I assume the Nighthawk 250 or something like it, thats what we had, I had a lot of fun on it, made my 86 zx6r seems fast (after getting the 929 I realize just how slow that thing actually was but I did race my friend in his hopped up WRX and beat him easily on the ninja). must be a big difference for you going from the little bike to the 929.

I recommend the book Sport Riding Techniques by Nick Ientasch (sp?), awesome book, everyone should read it from the beginner to everyone short of Kenny Roberts Sr.

yeah, we used some little 125-250's....it was fun, learned stuff that i didnt think bikes would do......but im sure there is a big difference between those bikes and the bikes we own......but hey all a part of learning.......

glad u took the course.. my buddy thought he was too cool to take the course... after readin on here about how you shouldnt even bother taking the license test with a sport bike cuz you wont pass it i advised him to take the class and get his license that way. well, his cheap/stubborn/cocky ass decides that i am a moron and that anyone could pass the test (cuz he's had a whole week of riding experience and "it isnt that hard"). so he takes the test and during the test he is taking a left handed turn, in the middle the the turn the statie tells him to stop quick... instead of straitening the bike up and then stopping like you are supposed to (which i learned from the class) he tries to stop while still taking the turn... so what happens... the bike tips and falls.... with him underneath it... FAILED... not only failed but failed with a BRAND NEW YZF R6 with custom scratches on the side... man, when i heard about it that night i couldnt dial his phone number fast enough to give him the big old I TOLD YA SO.... so me thinkin he learned his lesson i ask him when he is going to take the course... his stupid ass responds .... im not takin that course... i have a retake in 2 weeks... cant wait..

Outkastxleo · 07-13-2004, 12:46 AM

gotta love those turning and stoppings!! lol luckily they didnt test us on that for the evaluation.......but good luck to your friend, i hate to say it, but he may need it bro.............

CBRBob · 07-13-2004, 10:09 AM

Just remember, now you have a license that says you can ride a little bike in a parking lot pretty well. LOL! Translate all that good stuff into your bike and keep practicing!

hmm from everyone I hear thats taken the registry test its cake. one friend of mine went with his Firefighter shirt on and his test went like this "you a firefighter?" "yup" "how long have you been riding" "7 years" "ok you passed"

well there is a difference but its all the same basic skills, you just need to get them finely honed on that 929 cause as you probably already know the throttle has a little more behind it and the brakes are a bit better along with other stuff, just be safe out there.
