Before you flame me - I'm already signed up for the MSF course on Nov. 23rd at CCSN. I have also already registered my bike and have insurance (bike is a 2002 Suzuki sv650 which is sitting in my garage). I have basic knowledge of how to ride and I may have driven around a couple of times (in full gear of course) but never in heavy traffic, freeways, or rush hour since I'm not very experienced.

Anyways, I'm being realistic and I know that I won't be able to wait 5 weeks until I take the MSF course to start riding and gain more experience. I don't want to drive without the M-class endorsement either so my question is...

Is anyone here really familiar with the test who'd be awesome enough to help me out?? Pleeeeeeeease? :) If so, can we meet somewhere and practice? I'll buy you lunch or dinner or whatever you prefer. Weekends work best for me as I work mon-fri 9a-5p.

Thanks guys!! Just trying to do the right thing..

No one here would flame you brother!!! And welcome to the site!!..Im arson/jonathan.. I dont know if i would be able to help you this saturday...but pm me your email and i can send you a diagram of the test it will show you what you have to do to pass it, also, if you go to the dmv on sundays, or late saturdays and fridays, there is the motorcycle test area open to everyone behind the DMV in green valley, and on flamingo/buffalo i think it is..grab a couple of dixie (5 or 6) cups to practice the slalom test, you will see yellow markers for everything else that you need to stay in the lines for to pass...so just go and practice practice!! OR since you dont have your M you shouldnt really be driving on the roads so, take the diagram, make a mock test on your street and get to practicing!

Welcome to the site, INFIDEL! I believe I identified your Evo in your pic on the 702 website. As Arson stated, the DMV lot is a good place to practice. Getting your learners permit (Motorcycle Instruction Permit) may be the best start, though. That way, you can travel to/from the practice spot with another licensed rider legally.

Above all, have fun, wear your gear, and welcome to the madness!

Welcome to the site INFIDEL. Try not to sweat the test so much. Doing it thru CSN is the easyest thing you can do. The trainers there are so qualified. I wish i had time this weekend to ride but i don't. Im sorry. If you want to nest weekend im all for it. I have another friend i have to teach as well. If you are still up for it next weekend. PM me
