My friend is going to take a CA motorcycle skills test tomorrow...

[zmatrix]

Well apparently he slid on his bike this morning on an oil patch and he is taking the test tomorrow so now he is getting paranoid. He just wants to be ready so I thought maybe some of you bike riders know what they ask and what type of tests they conduct for cali riders. TIA

best thing he can do is go for a ride. if he is scared or paranoid he is going to fail.

A guy I know lost his leg below the knee about 6 weeks ago in a motorcycle accident.

Another guy I know is barely starting to walk again after a motorcycle accident about 3 months ago.

Good luck.

The DMV here in Nebraska will give you a sheet with a diagram of the course and the skills they expect you to show. He should get one of those before they close today.

Also, the "course" is painted onto the parking lots of the DMVs around here. So he should take his bike out there at first light and practice the course until he's comfortable with it.

Oh, and several guys I know have been riding for years and are fine. Wear proper gear when you ride and you minimize your risk greatly.
