Just got back from the DMV and I passed the M Class Test! WOOHOO

I was a cone weaving fool, and only put my foot down once during the U Turn exercise.

Pretty damn proud of myself!

Happy Friday the 13th!!

Well I knew the cone weave was my biggest challenge so I went to the DMV measured it all out and made a mock course in the drive way.

Basically put plastic disposable cups on the ground 12 feet part from each other and 2 feet apart from each other....filled the cups with rocks so they didn't blow away and went at it for 3 hours. NAILED IT!

I used the clear plastic cheap cups so if I run over it I would hear it crack and I knew right away to start over.

Right before I went to the DMV I woke up early and set it up again and did the cone weave like 20 times...got it down pat, rode to the dmv and passed!

Advice:
1-Keep your head up
2-Keep your eyes straight and let your eyes see the cones out of the corner of your eye, DO NOT STARE DOWN OR AT THE CONES
3-Do not use the gas after starting out...use only he clutch and hoover the rear brake with your foot...DO NOT USE THE FRONT BRAKE. This is the BIGGEST thing that helped me control sped. By the time I was at the 3rd cone I was clutch in all the way and rode the rear brake to the end

Go on youtube and look at Captain Crash and his videos...he has a separate video for eat part of the test...watch the video 5 times and then practice practice practice...thats what I did.
