Also check out Riders Edge though the Harley Dealers. It does cost more though. Otherwise just find out which test they give and setup cones and practice.

I went last night and practiced on the lot where they give the test. Most of it isn't so bad. The toughest part, I think, is the slow drive. I'll have to work on that a little more. Otherwise, I think I'm golden.

I took the test on my Rocker. I have been riding it for over a year and felt very comfortable with the bike. If you do much city riding, stopping at traffic lights without putting feet down till the last minute , slow turns into parking spaces, and just know your bike, you will do fine. Don't be nervous. I aced it.

Took the test today passed. It was much easier than I expected... helps to relax and not get the "test" vibe before starting.

One thing to remember, Smile at the person who is giving you your driving test. I did mine on a '07 FB and passed the first time. Here in Kansas if you are nice to them, they'll be nice to you. Practicing is always the best way. There is also the "Ride Like a Pro" DVD.

Guess I should have read the last page first.

in florida if you takethe MTI class (riders ed class) they give you the test at the end, on one of their 150 cc bikes. i took my test when i moved to florida 3 days after trading my 00 heritage for an 03 road king std. i passed with no problems and it was a heavier bike that i didn't really know.
