LOL! well,I never thought of that as a way to make the u-turn. Maube I'll hone my wheelie skills and try again!
What you said was the basic conversation I had with the "lady" testing me. I told her the bike would not make the u turn. I knew well before trying it. I could tell as soon as I pulled around back I was doomed. She said that if I couldnt pass the course then I had no business on a motorcycle. I asked if she rides,she said no. I told her that the course they have set up is a dangerous thing to attempt and that if ( refering to the cones) I ever encountered a road with a tree sprouting up every few feet that instead of weaving thru them like a circus attraction,i would just find another road. She didnt like that. When she got all attitudey-judy about the u turn i asked if her vehicle would make that turn. "Well,of course not it is an SUV!". Well,Im testing to ride the same roads as you drive on,why do I have to be able to make a turn that no other vehicle possibly could make? She also didnt like that. She really didnt like when I told her I rode over 100 miles that morning ( I felt like joy riding) before I made it to her test without killing myself and that i wasnt gonna risk dumping my bike for such a ridiculous course.Im sure I will not revisit that DMV for the test!
The local community college has a riding course like you described. Once completed the DMV just mails you a license. It is $165,but it would probably be good for me to take anyway. I'll probably go that route. Do you think it would be frowned upon if I ride my bike to riding class?
