Daaamn! thats some crazy stuff! Just out of curiosity was it raining? Sounds like everyone ended up being nervous from Gestapo Muller running the show :p At least ya don't have a messed up wrist and/or bike damage

there wasn't a cloud in the sky. Most of the stuff ups started after he sent the 1st 3 guys home. People got nervous after that. I got nervous every time he called me out thinking he was going to send me home instead he says good job, even then i still didn't believe him.
Re-booked the test for 20th same place again. Hoping to get the instructor i had when i did my learners that guy was a legend! stops when someone has a crash and starts cracking jokes to bring up every ones moral
hopefully this time round there wont be any failures

by the way does anyone know the distance of the cones for the cone weaving test? and the angle too

4m spacing with a 0.6m offset
not sure what happened to my earlier link but this should help;
files too big....
go to http://www.rta.nsw.gov.au
click on the 'license' tab
scroll to the bottom where the box titled "DOWNLOADS" is and click on "license test guides and handbooks'
scroll to the bottom again and find the last one called Motorcycle Operator Skills Test (MOST) and download the pdf, itll all be there

Before my test I found a street 5.1m wide and every day did 10 x figure eights on my way home for about 3 weeks. By test time it was easy

@ Trox thanks for that bud i was looking for this, been using the test demo videos to get a reference the 1st time around and that didn't help much.
Yea at the moment i am only spending 1hr practicing the uturn. Thing is i have it locked down during practice but when it counts i tend to fuck it up
most awkward thing would be the people in their street looking at me as i draw lines on the road but screw them one old man walked over to me in a threatening stance armed with a garden hose. I explained the situation and he replied with "okay i shall judge you"

In all seriousness this sounds and probably is a stupid question, but here goes
Am i allowed to stick post it notes on my bike? (HEAD CHECK) if your wondering what the note would consist of

Yes but I wouldn't. Don't worry about failing, if it doesn't come naturally then maybe you need to think if this was in the real world what would I do.

Personally I think you are approaching this the wrong way, don't worry about it. Use it as a training session, make the most of the opportunity, remember when you pass you don't get that opportunity again to learn form some experienced trainers

quick update- got my red p's went for the test with 2 mates. They made passing much easier as they offered me chicken 20 pc kfc! but after passing they said it was just an incentive to pass, now i am bummed i didn't get my chicken but ah well

how it went
- put my foot down for the cone weave recovered by going wide. Ended up going to wide and couldn't make the 5th cone so i thought i failed instead lost 2 points for that and 2 points for the foot down and no fuck ups after that so i am happy, but i must say was nervous as shit to the point where my mouth was like the Sahara desert

well done mate, happy you passed
