RE: HELP!!! DMV Test Friday the 13th
 \\;I borrowed a smaller bike to take the test.The day I went down to take the test it was at least 100 degrees outside. TheDMV agent was less than happy. For some reason I blew the slaom just got my rythm off. I came back to her laughing and asked if she wanted me to do it again. She just wanted to get back in to the a/c so she passed me.

RE: HELP!!! DMV Test Friday the 13th
There was a real good post aboutthe friction zone you show read. \\;
 \\;
Turning tight takes practice but it aint hard. \\; You play the throttle, brake, and clutch. \\; If the bike wants to lay inside the turn, just add throttle and let off the brake. If going high side, pull in the clutch and add brake. \\;The bike does all the work. \\; I think by practicing you will get it in 10 minutes and won't ever piNch up on a slow-mo U-E again. \\; GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Slide that ***. To counter the bike wanting to fall over in a tight turn, you may need to slide your butt over off the seat a little. Turning left, slide right and visa versa. I did the California test on a Heritage, so it should be a piece of cake for you. Good luck.

I personally would not want to ride next to anyone who cannot pass the test and have good control of their bike in a tight situation.

Don't worry, you can ride next to me. \\; My guardian bell will keep us safe.
