I just took the test yesterday. The tight right turn followed by the reverse uturn is hard. I even practice it. I suggest you do the same prior to the test.

I’ve seen them practicing every weekend in the Southland Mall parking lot in Hayward, CA, for motorcycle training.

When I took my MSF test the 90deg turn from a stop, the instructor made us start with the front tire in between and just before the first two cones not a parking space or full bike length before the first two cones.

Really great video, thanks. I'll almost certainly be buying the course in some form. The bike I have is a 500 lb, 865cc, fuel injected Triumph Bonneville. The weight and throttle make my odds of passing the DMV test unlikely without a lot of practice. My experience was 45 years ago when I rode a 125cc dirt bike and the occasional ride on a Yamaha 360 enduro. I rode my brother's 500cc thumper every now and then as well. How crazy do you think it is for me, a pretty fit guy in his late sixties, to train and test on a bike that size? It feels a bit crazy when I take the bike out for any type of ride. In a perfect world I'd train and test on something in the 360-500cc range, but alas...Thanks again. Cheers.

First day of MSF class was today. Did ok but cone weave kicked my ass. I think I was trying to lean into it with my body but I need to keep myself straight up. Thank you for the video
