California Motorcycle & Automobile Riding & Driving & Written Tests

Unless you're rude, the worst possible outcome seems like it
would be being asked to leave.

You may want to go re-read my post. I think
your Sarcasometer(tm) is broken.

Heck, I mentioned Haliburton FFS!

I wasn't disputing the Haliburton part. ;-)

Just gave the ol' sarcastometer a good smack, seems to be functioning
again... for now.

 

Al, you're not the guy with the train horns on his bike are you?

I suppose that worked, but I thought that there was a way to turn off
the ABS when starting the engine.

 

With safety features like this, it's a wonder you haven't been killed.
Pull the ABS relay before taking the test. Then maybe leave it off....

Ah yes! Those horns would be most useful in clearing a path through traffic.
Thanks!

Cripes!

Just take whatever bike you got down to the DMV on a Sunday and practice.
It's really easy.

Huh? Is this true? I have a K1200 with ABS and I never notice it.
The bike just brakes the way it's supposed to.

I'm sure if I did a 100mph to zero they might kick in, but I've never
noticed the ABS kicking in at the zero to 3mph speeds that it takes for a
lollipop test.

Can someone else with ABS confirm that they kick in at such low speeds?

I can't even imagine stopping "sooner" than expected and therefore having
to put my feet down when I didn't mean to stop. When I wish to go slowly, I
just go slowly.

 

I got mine when they first started requiring separate MC licenses. The guy
said "Just ride down to the end of the parking lot shifting through as many
gears as you can, turn around and come back." I got my 1960 Ducati up to 4th.
