    Down in the Bikini Bottom, we only have one motorcycle teacher. Mrs. Puff, she's a tough kitten. It took me 5 years to get my motorcycle license. You have to jump and do 8 flips on your motorcycle, and you have to go fast enough to skip across the water. I had to go 657 miles per hour just to finish the test!

      Here in Norway its very different when taking the motorcycle license. Here you can be 16 to ride a 125cc 15 kw bike. You have to complete multiple traffic courses and a theory test. Then you can take the driving course in the end. The difference is that you either drive with the teacher sitting on the back of the bike or him riding behind you. The riding course includes a part one: Tests in a area like this video with exercise cones. Then part two: You have to drive in traffic with your driving teacher either behind you or sitting on the back. If you complete that you have the a1 motorcycle license. The education system in Norway when it comes to driving licenses is very safe, and thats why so few accidents happen here also. But it's expensive:P

    Practice the quick-stop a few times so you feel comfortable stopping really fast and aren't afraid of losing control of the bike. On the u-turn: look where you want to go, don't be afraid to give it some throttle if you feel like you're about to fall over, and (this one helps a lot) lean in the direction opposite from the side you're turning on. If you're on a smaller, more agile sport bike like I was, the cone weave is a breeze.

      Devosaurus Rex you don't say. That's why the number of mph are odd, it's 20 and 30 kmh that's converted to mph, if it was a test developed in the US or Liberia I would expect it to be between 2 nice round numbers like 15 and 20 mph.

    The test seems to vary widely state by state and country by country. I took my original motorcycle test in Alaska in 1976. The instructor sat at a desk inside a tiny building and told me to get on my bike and ride around the little building once. I did. I walked inside and he said I passed! I don't think he even looked up from the desk. In Minnesota (1984) it was completely different. Very difficult test. The lines on the figure 8 etc. were electronic and any touch would register as a failure. They had an electronic panic stop track where you had to reach 35 mph (electronic radar display in front of you) with a green light that would stay green until BANG it went RED. You had to absolutely dynamite your front brake (without lock up) to pass it. Lots of busted mirrors and turn signals had to be swept off the track because many flunked it badly. Many in line with me were on their 3rd or 4th attempt at passing the test. The ONLY way to pass was to crush your brakes and not dump the bike. The distance allowed for braking seemed like a postage stamp at that speed.

      +Dave Lee I don't know how it is now. I took that test in Eagan. I wouldn't worry about it, but do practice lots of slow speed weaving and stops in a parking lot before you test. Brake in a strait line and plant both feet at the moment of stop. I passed on a 1000cc Kawasaki and others were there on Harleys, so it is passable with practice.

The real learning starts after you get the license of course :)

    I honestly would love if they had your test on the actual roads with a follow up motorcycle giving you a location to go to watching from behind. All these colored lines can be damn confusing especially when your instructor doesn't make it clear. I also love how she almost yells at you to turn off your motorcycle after the first test as if you knew to turn it off. Thanks for the video mate!

    Damn im so nervous for my driving test this tuesday!
    But mine is more difficult, we have to do:
    1. Get a task about a part on the motorcycle u have to check details to know if its good enough for driving and explain the consequenses etc.
    2. Do a daily check of the bike, checking lights, signals, breaks etc as fast as u can.
    3. Do driving test on a track which includes, Countersteering in 80 km/h, 80 km/h emergency breaking, cone driving, turn techniques and breaking while in a fast turn.
    3. Driving test on the road, which is hard as fuck cause they fail you for details like possition, being too polite, driving too slow for long distances etc.

    it does make you consider the ability of someone delivering a test when they apppear to be so stuck on having to read the script without being able to deliver it confidently and informatively.
    Also all of those lines and boxes on the site make it quite confusing for those taking the test.
    Surely a more professional location could be arranged.

They teach you the same as any MSF courses and prepare you for your DMV tests.

    Here in Tasmania we sit in a class for about 3 hrs and get told about rider safety. Then ride around the obstacle course. If we pass that then we get our L plate and are on our own on the roads until we sit four our P plate which is basically riding a tighter course, which in my opinion is quite daft really. If you survive 6 months on the road on L plates and slowing down the traffic as you aren't allowed to go over 100 kph or ride a bike over 240cc, then you should be given the P plate automatically.

      +keeway4869 I was taught in the beginner rider course to turn the bike off by using the cutoff switch, then using the key. I think it will do essentially the same thing, but the cutoff switch lets you turn the engine off without taking your hands off the bar, then lets you turn it on again without taking your hands off the bar. I guess it is personal preference and the situation that you are in. If you just want to shut the engine off to talk to someone briefly then turn it back on, I would use the cutoff. If you use the cutoff all the time, you might start to forget to take the keys with you...
