I took my drive test to get my M1 endorsement with the CA DMV. It was exciting, I took it on the 110 and because the bike had cooled off while I was waiting to start and started getting cold blooded I gave the examiner a great acrobatic show. The big no-no is putting your foot down during the test, in fact its a DQ if you do it. The bike sputtered in one or two places and then reved pretty fast after I feathered it to keep it alive. I worked to keep my feet on the pegs at all cost, at times I must have looked like a big awkward guy on a pommel horse.
When it was all said in done I thought she would fail me for the stunt on the second CCW loop but she didn’t! She told me that it looked kind of weird but she didn’t know why I shouldn’t pass – she said it looked like I could handle the bike.
So, I passed but not without knocking a little chip off my pride in the process. But its ok, I am done now and can go racing my 110 on the freeway in the middle of the night with a passenger. Let the good times roll…er..wait…wrong brand…
