Just got back from the skill test and passed. That test was not as easy as I thought it would be. I have not ridden for several years and let my endorsement lapse and had to take everything. That f*&king cone part was a bi*&h. She let me do it twice I thought I was going to drop my bike. Anyway got it done and will not let endorsement lapse again!

I took mine as part of the MSF course. Did the test on the last day and got my endorsement. I think it's easier this way since you've been practicing all the stuff and then just go right into the test.
There were people that passed that I never thought would. They scared the bejeezus out of me whenever they came near me.

Yeah, the scariest part of being an instructor is having poor riders ACE the test, and you have to give them the license.
I took the MSF course about a month ago to get my endorsement. There were two women in the class that had never ridden a motorcycle before. They were a little scary to be around at first but by the end of the course they both passed and actually did better on the test than some of the others in the class that have been riding for a while.
The instructors said that they have had riders do really bad during the class and then pass the test easily and others that did really well in class and then just barely passed the test. No one in our class failed.
Congrats. Just got mine this past Sunday at the end of my MSP class. No points. I hadn't ridden in about 15 years, and was suprised at how quickly I was able to regain that basic skills.
Now comes the fun part. Demo rides and figuring out whether I want to go with the '08 RKC or SG.
My brother-in-law told me last weekend that if I passed, he'd loan me his Springer this weekend to putt around town.
I told him he was nuts, but that I wasn't going to pass up the offer.

I passed mine the first time I took it on my WG. I practiced for it and it was easy but I did get -2 points for not using my front break enough on the fast stop. When a guy renews his liscense in 8 years do I have to take a written test again or is it like a cage liscense and you just have to take the eye test?
