Motorcycle Test Hell

[Anonymous]

When my friend took the test in hicksville AZ two years ago this little old white haired lady was doing the motorcycle testing. She admitted she was new at it. We watched others ahead of us for a while. One of the requirements was to get the bike up to 25mph, in the parking lot and come to a complete stop, at a line that was drawn about 300ft away.
It wasn't difficult for most...but this poor old guy on something that sounded like a moped couldn't get it to go 25mph in that distance at all. The little old lady admitted this was her first time testing people and would have to go inside the building to ask someone else questions. When she returned she told the old man on the scooter to just get it up to 15mph...

What a scene. the poor old guy tried several times...and she kept telling him "What if that was a brick wall?" He really could have gotten hurt in that small parking lot. What a circus act !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My course and subsequent snag of license at the end of the weekend was unfunny. Smooth, and easy to attain. :twisted:

... But, at the beginning of the weekend, the instructors went around the 'circle' asking us why we wanted to attain our motorcycle license... One young girl there said it was just to p1ss off her father. She had fun that weekend, did really lousy at just about everything, even dropped her bike, which was handy as we all could see how easy it was to lift a downed bike by ourselves (she did manage to accomplish that feat with a little instruction). She failed the course, of course, and didn't pass the exam at the end. But hey, she had fun!! So did we. :lol:
