I say, take your motorcycle test on a scooter. You will pass the first
time. Bob

I'll add two cents here, at the risk of pissing off a few of you, but here
in NJ taking a MV test for a license is done on a real tight course....my
advise is to learn on a bike that you will use for your test. The test will
go much easier with a light, bike with easy balance and steering and
sensitive braking. Going through 10 cones in a line, stopping sharply, and
making a right turn within a 3 foot line are steps of the test all done much
easier with a simple upright seating position on something like a Honda 350
or smaller.

When I took my test years ago, the fellow in front of me almost killed the
MV Officer for failing him....he failed 3 times tryng to get his Softtail
through the hose cones!! The officer saw me & my old restored Honda CB360T
& said..."now this is the kind of bike to test on"!!

The Safety School is a great idea...I wish you many happy rides!
