Seeing as how no one else seemed to really know what the test consisted of I will give my experience [fresh].I took my test today knowing that it required fig 8 maneuver and a pre ride checklist.This is what they had me do.
After he checked all my paperwork [permit,class c license,registration,insurance] we went to the parking lot where he ran me through the checklist,brakes,turn signals,hi beam lo beam,kill switch,horn,throttle,both brakes,fuel valve,choke.Then I proceeded to do a both brakes stop in front of him.Next was the slalom with 3 cones come back to him go up one gear come down one gear then both brakes stop in front of him again.Then it was the 30by50 ft box to do 3 non stop fig eight maneuvers [I only practiced doing one at a time]I passed all of the steps.He also informed me that if I would not have had eye protection under my visor that I would have failed immediately.There was no written knowledge test with this course.I hope this thread can help any new riders,I couldn't find this info anywhere,everyone just told me to "take the motorcycle safety course,its easier"maybe so but it is 15 hrs worth of instruction that can be just as easily accomplished by your self with common sense while you practice on your permit.I do understand some states don't allow permit riders out by themselves,in that case the course is the only way to go.
