Respect to you for leaving the drop in the video. There’s two types of riders, those who’ve dropped their bikes, and liars.

[@bitchinbob2045]

Truth.

Ive definitely dropped mine 😭😭😭😭

Never have I dropped my bike, crashed though 10 years ago.

He actually does a very smooth execution of the riders test, which impressed me. Then he dumps the bike turning it around. I had to laugh but I also give him credit for leaving it in.

Wow. He could've cut the part when he fell but he actually kept it. Doing that on a video where you explain how to pass a motorcycle driving test takes a lot of courage and self confidence. Thanks for keeping it real (and for the video, of course).

[@jmprov356]

I so respect the fact that you left the "crash" in the video, even though you could have easily edited it out! Your video not only was super-informative for my wife as to what she should expect when going to the DMV for her driving test, but you also (with great humility!) showed that little crazy accidents happen to us all on a bike - even very skilled and experienced riders such as yourself. The entire video was a confidence booster, and we both appreciate your posting it here. Thanks!

[@MOTOPILOT6]

Glad to help. It was a freak incident where the motor simply quit when least expected. First time that ever happened.

[@sirjudge5055]

At many of the DMV's in California. People will hang out in the parking lot with highly maneuverable 125cc older bikes. Rent them to you for $50 so that you can pass the riding test. This configuration was designed 50 years ago when bikes were small and nimble. I practiced for 2 hours one night after DMV closed. On a GSX-r 600. Had to go full left lock on the bars to get through the circle and maintaining a low enough speed was a challenge. Was thrilled to pay dude $50 to borrow his old bike and pass the test with zero effort. Like doing it on a bicycle.

[@baronvg]

The first time I watched one of these CA license tests, my first thought was how it doesn’t seem THAT easy because these modern bikes are huge. But now I know the test was designed when smaller bikes were in use. Good to know.

Thanks for making a great video and being real about how easy it is to do when you’re ready, and for having the humility to leave the crash clip in! It demonstrates how fast things can go south if your trying to do too many things at the same time, like making a video, flying a drone and taking a test in front of tens of thousands of people. Bien fait!

[@MOTOPILOT6]

Thanks Brent. Yeah the fall over was from the engine having a hiccup when I wasn't ready

Nothing wrong with dropping. Learn from your mistakes get back up and keep going. #kudos to leaving it in.

This video helped me pass on the first try yesterday so thank you sir for making it. You saved me time and money.

[@BrandonCochran-dl6vr]

For California, at least i can confirm for San Diego, ( I recently went through the process) you start with the written exam and yes they make you take your class c again as well. If you didn't the dmv fucked up, at least in California. You then have your permit for one year and during that year you can come back at any point and do the actual riding test. They start off by having you identifying different components of your bike ie. Blinkers, clutch, both brakes etc. After that they do serpentine there and back while going through the circle once (front tire can't leave circle and can't put your foot down or it's an immediate fail). Then you do straight line, two circles, and other straight line back (all while staying within the lines). Some places will then after that make you go to the street and upshift and downshift 2 gears in both directions. After that congratulations you have passed.

Nice video thanks for the info. I took my test 37 years ago and if I remember correctly I just had to do a figure 8 and ride around a few cones and that was it. Oregon test 1979. I also remember driving myself to the DMV with out a licence and about an hour later I had my licence, it was on my 16th birthday. Got my motorcycle endorsement about six months later.

[@jasontomica8938]

I heard that once you enter the circle your back wheel can come off the white line no problem it's your front wheel that needs to stay between the 2 white lines right

I bought my very first bike 3 days ago, never having ever sat on or ridden a sport bike before... and in the first 20 minutes I dropped it...

My favorite part of this video is your at my DMV. Wait. no. My favorite part of this video is you fell at the exact same spot at the exact same DMV at the exact same practice key where I did. Coming back from the key and then just down. It's amazing. I wonder if there's a patch of uneven asphalt there or something, just enough to catch a tire.

[@serafinsilva1055]

My brother in law just recently got his motorcycle license. He also took the riding course for about a month, said it was really helpful. He also told me that he had to re take the written test for driving. The person at the DMV told him if you haven't taken the written test with in a six month peroid you would have to re take it based on if your trying to renew your license. Anyways, get video mang! Stay safe :)

[@MOTOPILOT6]

Thanks DCE. you too, bud. MP

[@austinbeasley1300]

CA also let’s you use any bike/scooter/moped with an engine that’s a minimum of 150cc so if you got a buddy with a motorized scooter that has a 150 in it, use that and you don’t have to worry about doing the upshift/downshift test lol when it came time to do it the instructor didn’t know that the scooter I was using was auto and after I told him he was like “Ohh, we’ll I guess you pass, unless you wanna pretend to have gears and upshift for me” lol super easy test as long as your in smaller bike, I’ve had friends that have been riding for years fail because they pulled up with the 1800 Harley with tires the size of the circle and a tank that made it impossible to turn that tight lol so remember, smaller bike is always better for the test.

[@anhang3942]

This is smart. Appreciate this a lot.

[@carnage1231]

I second this , or if you’re a fairly new rider , taking the cmsp (Cali’s version of the MSF) is a huge huge HUGE benefit . Not only will you build some confidence you’ll be able to build trust in your bike ! Knowing that it can take those leans and it wants to lean is a huge calmer for those fairly new ! (One of the things that comes to my mind rn at least ) . Learning from those that have been riding for years and still alive , heck I’d be damn stupid to not listen to any criticism or advice they have to give . Around 425$ (I know ) but in the grand scheme of things what’s 425$ to your life? Because some of those skills taught can make all the difference in whether you make it home that night or police showing up at your doorstep ! Stay safe out there fellow riders

[@austinbeasley1300]

@@carnage1231 I live near my towns dmv and I see guys out there practicing all the time and the major issue with most riders that can’t get it down is they seem to try and use the handlebars to steer like it’s a bicycle, the ones that are wobbly or going over the line almost always have their handlebars moving back and forth because they’re scared to lean and they keep the bike straight up. On most vespa type of scooters and street bikes the handlebars have very minimal movement so when you learn to ride on one of those you learn to lean for turning a lot faster than say a starter bike like a Honda Rebel. If you just lean and keep those handlebars in that little sweet spot it’s very easy, another reason I tell new riders to get a small street bike or scooter before buying that 1100 Harley if they can, just like with anything else learning the basics and getting familiar with riding at a slower, easier pace is gonna help tremendously.

[@rolpal619]

Ha! I took my first California motorcycle test there back in then mid 80's. I think this is the place when I was living in Moreno Valley. Didn't ended up taking the whole skill test. There was so much traffic in the parking lot, so he just let me do one run and passed.

[@jednorman4743]

Love how didn't edit falling off your bike. I may take a course instead.

[@joejamesusa]

The problems I have with this test are that: 1) it does NOT simulate real-world driving conditions. I have never ever seen a road that required me to zigzag or drive in a circle perfectly without putting my foot down. Maybe it simulates driving through an alligator pond? 2) ZERO cars on the road could ever pass that test. A motorcycle has the same traffic laws as cars, but has a MUCH stricter driving test that cars could never pass. Don't we all drive on the same roads? 3) the test is very heavily biased towards smaller and lighter bikes. I'd bet 9/10 people who test on hogs fail, and 9/10 people testing on 150cc dirt bikes pass. It should test driving skill, independent of what type of bike you have. 4) there's zero emphasis on safety. The same stunt riders that will pass most easily are probably the same people I see riding wheelies down the street.

[@mortalmeat9963]

So true 150cc bikes can easily pass this test

[@joemann7971]

@@mortalmeat9963 but if your plan is to ride a 700 lb Harley, why would you buy a 150 cc just for the test? Its cheaper just to take the MSF. That way you'll learn actual safety tips and learn a bit more about safety, even though that won't simulate real world experience either, its better than this, for sure.

[@davidthoreau6353]

It is mainly designed to see if you can handle a bike. It is easier to ride 80 down a highway than make a tight u turn at 10 mph.

[@codea1273]

Tbf the MSF is also a very basic test, although slightly better. Probably not too hard to learn how to go around a circle in a hog if you practice. Some of the most impressive low-speed riding I've seen is on giant cruiser bikes by police motorcyclists.

[@vincentgonzalez8363]

@@codea1273 I'm 25 miles east of this DMV. The closest MSF course that I've seen listed is in Lancaster, almost 100 miles away from my home. Or 100mi South West, where you absolutely need to use the freeway to get there. I'm taking my skills next month on a 625lb cruiser. I just practiced weaving between parking stalls. Practicing u turns in both directions. Also clockwise and counterclockwise circles within 2 and 3 parking space diameter. I only tried the keyhole once, the weaving is simple, and the circle isn't terribly hard. It's all clutch control really. If I took it that day though, I would've failed.

[@mitchgarcia4591]

I think it's cool you didn't edit out the drop! All been there! :) Good video dude!

[@n5iln]

One missing element: accelerate between the straight lines, upshift then downshift, then enter the circle for the left-hand turns. (2021 standards)

lmao kinda funny how you drop your bike during a demonstration on "how easy" it is xD

[@mattkoontz5517]

Awesome video! You did make it look easy BTW, I have been riding since age 6 and failed it twice in the same day due to putting my foot down, ( I was on my 2002 Ninja 750 at the time, I called it " THE TANK " lol. Any way I do recommend as You did, go to your local DMV and practice on the actual course. Good luck guys and girls! LAAAAAATE!

[@Motionboxvideo]

Same, I’ve been riding long enough where I consider myself confident. The other day I lost a little momentum and put my foot down. I didn’t know it was a rule and was unprepared

[@CurmudgeonExtraordinaire]

In Texas, the test is basically the same as it is for cars. The difference is that instead of the examiner riding with you, you have to provide a car and driver to follow you and the instructor rides with them. They have you drive through a subdivision and you need to come to a complete stop at the stop signs and signal for the appropriate turns. The examiner will signal for you to turn right or left by way of the number of times he sounds the horn the the "chase car". You don't have to do anything a car wouldn't do and maybe even a little less since there's no parallel parking. The parallel parking portion gets a lot of the kids because they seldom have to parallel park unless they go downtown. What's the diameter of that circle? Looks like it might be a bit tight if you are on a large Harley.

[@brodyscott1]

I’m about to take my M1 test on my Rebel 500 and I’m so fucking nervous. Failed it the first time, did practice, but I am absolutely not confident. Guess we’ll see how it goes

[@MOTOPILOT6]

Practice builds confidence. Thanks for watching! MP

[@HardmanKnott]

As far as "super easy" goes, I think it might depend a lot on the bike. My Vulcan 500 has a very laid back geometry and long wheelbase. So far I've done four 1 hour practice sessions at the local DMV (after closing), and I still have a long way to go to KNOW that I won't mess up, especially under the pressure of the test. A friend has offered to lend me his 150cc Vespa for the test, and another friend offered his 650 enduro. But I'm stubbornly determined to do it on my bike, especially after reading a comment on another video that stated something along the lines of: "If you can't pass the test on the bike you ride, then you shouldn't be riding that bike"...LOL!!

[@stocktonst3]

im practicing on my cbr500r im not giving any gas just clutch and it going pretty nice i just wanna master it before test time

[@HardmanKnott]

@@stocktonst3 I looked up your bike and the wheelbase is 55.5” (vs 62.8 on Vulcan 500). Obviously a shorter wheelbase is easier to turn. I am happy to report that I passed the test a couple weeks ago! I practiced a total of 25 hours. For me the hardest part was exiting the circle into the narrow lane. I never felt that I could do it every time, due to the long wheelbase. Just keep practicing until you feel really confident, and you’ll be fine. Good luck!

[@crissy7503]

@@HardmanKnott Saw your comment from 3 months ago and then now I see you have passed the test, congrat I have been practicing at the dmv in redwood city ca with my Yamaha maxim 400 but still can't handle it, same as you, friends have offered their bikes but i want to do it in mine, so I will report when I pass the test.

[@HardmanKnott]

@@crissy7503 Keep on practicing. Drag the rear brake, it helps a lot! Also try to sit up straight and let the bike do the leaning.

[@nearkolob]

In Idaho there is no riders test, just a written test. If you want to go on the interstate you take that STAR course which is free.

[@UnknownProdrive]

Wow that's simple. Here in the UK and the rest of Europe it's more extensive than that. From no licence to a licence were you can ride any cc bike takes four different tests, a theory done on computer which is a series of questions on the highway code plus a hazard test, then CBT test(off and on road) theory and practical, then a Mod 1 test (on and off road), and finally Mod 2 test (on road). After passing all that and providing you're over 25 then you can ride any cc bike. The expense and drawn out system is putting alot of youngsters off riding. You're talking the best part of £1000 to get your licence. Big difference to you guys.

[@modularcuriosity]

BIG TIP: If you take the CALIFORNIA MOTORCYCLIST SAFETY PROGRAM (CMSP) (which I highly recommend) and pass then you get a waiver for the drivers test at the DMV. The CMSP classes will supply a bike for you to use for the course. It's 5 hours of classroom and 10 hours of on-the-bike learning and practice.

[@saintvalleyhappy89]

So to clarify,. You can avoid the driving test if you attend the cmsp program?

[@modularcuriosity]

@@saintvalleyhappy89 Yes, in California if you take the CMSP program then you get a waiver for the driver test because they were able to review your skills in the course (provided you passed the course). So the next step is to go to the DMV, take the written test, give them the waiver (so no driving test), pay $30 and you get your class M license.

[@gandroid5381]

Question, for the skill test, what helmet you need to wear for the test? Full cover, 3/4, half helmet?? Even DMV web does not show any information about the skill test. I need someone who has pass the skill test recently to answer the question. Thanks.

[@mpaszti]

The degree of difficulty of the California test is very much dependent on what you ride! I'm banging on the gas tank trying to do the circle on a 1000cc sport bike!

[@rweaver6]

It's easy *if* you practice. If you don't practice and just wing it, you will likely fail. When I took it decades ago, I was the only one of my group of 6 testees that had practiced beforehand. So I was the only one who passed, that morning. The other dunderheads who thought they were hot-s**t were proven otherwise. I agree with everything, except I practiced *not* working the clutch (my bike was only 100 cc) and rode the test mostly that way; fine throttle control. But it depends on your bike, whatever gives you maximum low-speed balance and control. Unless you can *easily* pass this ride test, you don't have control of the bike and you're a danger to yourself and others and you shouldn't ride on the street. If you pass, that's just the minimum. The video's final advice, "don't expect anyone else to watch out for you" is very good. It will keep you alive.

[@EnriqueFlores-vr8jr]

i'm so glad you're in riverside too. i was crazy worried about it.

[@azcbr600rr]

In illinois is a lot different for the road test. We had to do a break test from 20 mph and a complete stop. Another one is the cone skill, taking corners, going over objects like a stick or something. doing a figure eight and going left or right to avoid something if it was in the road. taking left and right turns and something else that im forgetting lol. usually easy to but some people have trouble with the figure eight bc some dont do the clutch control and the hit the breaks and throttle and its all about clutch control. anyways it seems like cali has a better test in away that i like more.

[@stgray35]

3 parts. CBT (Certificate of Basic Training - basic skills and to see if you can handle a bike. THEORY - Sit in a classroom in front of a computer doing observation and safety test. FULL PRACTICAL TEST - This test can determin what cc of bike you will be able to ride. If you do the full access course, then you can ride anything. ( unless the law has changed since i did mine )

[@ianscottuk]

Yeah but the full practical is two parts. The bit in the car park with the cones which is significantly more of a pain in the arse than whats shown in the video, then you have to do a ride on the road with an instructor.

I just realized how familiar the area looked.

[@IanOcampoPodRider2016]

In the UK we have a Mod 1 test which has a bit more than this DMV test

[@haigh08les73]

Pod Rider yer ment same sort thing lol i did mod 1 mod 2 only past last year

[@IanOcampoPodRider2016]

Haigh08 Les aww I passed my test last year too! A2 though xD

[@haigh08les73]

Pod Rider same 👍

[@Jonofthejungle26]

I've already done a theory(written and observation test) and then a practical to get a full driving license. Then you have to pass another theory test, then mod 1, then mod 2 to get a full bike license. I'm doing my mod 1 next week. A lot more than what the dmv want to see but still all the basics in an off road (car park) environment.

TheFakeAssassin in uk ?

[@DirtyolJoe]

Do I lay it down like that? Hahaha, good video man I also live in Riverside and Im about to take my test after a year of riding with a permit, thanks for the heads up.

[@Apcraziey]

Instructions unclear, after doing the cones and coming back around, the DMV guy got pissed that I set my bike down on her left side. Would not let me finish. Weird...

[@caesarbedoya3759]

Wow this guy dropped his bike

[@ronrico2314]

It's that easy to drop your bike lol

[@jesseplz]

Looks like robocop on a bike yet he dropped it, surprised

[@josephkluck9526]

Lol even the most experienced riders drop their bikes and it's usually over something dumb. He executed the maneuvers perfectly so nothing to complain about. Props to him for not editing it out lol

[@falcy2889]

I just wanted to point out that this is way easier than the tests in Hungary I literally sweated blood to pass it and just as I wanted to write it you fell.... eh no wonder

[@wipes47]

what’s the test in Hungary like?

[@mikeambrose1926]

I know this is a older video but as I’m going through the process currently I will add a couple things. The permit/written part is good for 1 year, you can take the riding part at anytime during the year. When you take the written test/permit, you also have to take the written test for any other license you have. So even if you have a current class c and want to add the motorcycle you will have to retake the written test for the class c as well, and the same goes for any other endorsements on your license. You will have to take the written for all of them.

[@brianworden7022]

And if you only want the M1, you still have to take the class C written test. I studied for the car test and passed first time but didn't brush up on the motorcycle one and failed twice and was like I will be back tomorrow.. and passed it in the morning after memorizing the questions and answers like I did for the car test... pretty much look up the tests Q&A here on KZbin and you should have no issues in passing the written test first try... just by memorizing answers.

[@christianromero112]

Not true. Just got the motorcycle endorsement and I only had to take the M1 exam did not have to retake class c went to east riverside DMV

[@mikeambrose1926]

@@christianromero112 it is true, you have to retake the written test for your class c. States in the dmv handbook as well, maybe you got lucky and the dmv employee screwed up.

[@christianromero112]

@@mikeambrose1926 maybe the person helping wasn’t experienced but I specifically asked if I had to do both exams and she said no, only the M1. Since I specified I only wanted the endorsement on my drivers license
