I road with a permit for 7 years. went in to renew it and the lady asked me what the hell this piece of shit thing i had was. My mc permit, 7 YEARS? sorry this one is not getting renewed. here's a temp that expires in 30 days. take the test or you will never receive an MC endorsement. Took it on my brothers 81 yammie 650. Had i known it was that easy, i would have taken it in 74. Then again doing the test with a jockey shift 48 indian wasn't easy to maneuver around cones.

Yeah I bet that would have been a real bitch in the cones section ....
I took my last one on an 86 VFR.... Great bike but the slow speed cones are not it's .. forte ... nearly cost me the test.. oops... ( didn't help I had not ridden much in too many years or ridden that bike much at all )
I say if you have access to one, take the test on a dual sport style bike. They excel at the slow speed stuff can handle the mid speed parts of the test fantastically too.
I should clarify ... I took the courses back in the early 90's in new mexico ... after a long break from riding I had to get my endorsement in colorado rather then drop the coin on a course I'd already had ( tho admittedly like almost 20 years before) I just did the DMV test
