POV Motorcycle Skills Test - PASSED
Vložit
- čas přidán 13. 06. 2012
- This is the ALT-MOST (Alternate Motorcycle Operator Skills Test) which is currently used by twenty-nine states in the U.S. This particular test took place in Michigan with a private third-party tester. The test consists of a cone weave, controlled stop, left or right turn, u-turn, quick stop, and obstacle swerve, although not necessarily in that order.
The only points deducted in this video were from me putting a foot down briefly during the u-turn, and from my stopping distance being a little too far for the quick stop.
Bike used was a 2008 Kawasaki Ninja 250R. Filmed with a Drift HD 1080p action camera.
UPDATE: I realize that other states/countries may have more difficult tests, but that is not the point of this video. - Auta a dopravní prostředky
this makes me nervous just watching you do it.
Ikr
Seems like an easy test.
+Dakota Robinson same! haha
Jesus christ in the god damn popes comment section...
Same
"How many points did I get?"
"...six"
"How many do I need to pass?"
"Six.... Hundred"
Wooooooooooo

This comment 2 years old bet you won’t reply in 1 day
It looks so hard and confusing to remember and do what she said
AxelGaming45 really tho
Honestly its always like this on non reallife things you just remember better in person
And i see no traffic cones just orange tape or something
this is easy for me.. some people learn better by reading, some better by doing, so don’t think ur stupid
Its in your head, you ask her to help you...just calm down and take it slow...thats your problem...
i got excited when she said you passed lol as if it was me who passed
Lol
Lmao 😆
bro XD
I did it!!!!, oh crap, that wasn't me, i still have to do mine. Sigh......
the immersion lmao
This is NOTHING compared to where I live.
Do you really call this a test? It's more like an activity.
Come down to where I live, bet you couldn't beat it if you wanted to.
Down in the Bikini Bottom, we only have one motorcycle teacher. Mrs. Puff, she's a tough kitten. It took me 5 years to get my motorcycle license. You have to jump and do 8 flips on your motorcycle, and you have to go fast enough to skip across the water. I had to go 657 miles per hour just to finish the test!
Woosh@Direct Webstores
They had us in the first half not gonna lie
Hahaha. Well done.
lmao was going to post r/gatekeeping but nice one man lol
I can't even drive without a blindfold
My test was take a right out of the DMV and drive 40 yards up the road. Make a right into the church parking lot and do a U-turn and come back 😂
That was my test to get my regular license.
That's funny, I recall riding out of the entrance, rode about 20 metres, turned around, came back and that was it...... I passed the test and now I have six Honda cbr1000rrs, six Honda cbr600rrs, six zx10rs and six zx6rs, and from what, just going around a few comes and then out the gate to go a little bit up the road to turn back round to then fucking pass the test?! xD xD xD xD xD xD xD xD xD xD xD xD xD xD xD xD xD xD xD xD xD xD xD xD xD xD xD xD xD xD xD xD xD xD xD xD xD xD xD xD xD xD xD xD xD xD xD xD xD
Nuh uh
Where did u get urs. This lady is confusing me an I it wasnt even me lmao
😂
Ridiculous test. "This line...That line." Which line?! There's lines all over the parking lot! Try clear goals that bear some practical resemblance to real-life situations.
I mean it's all about low speed tests. If you can deal with low speed stuff the high speed stuff comes pretty easy lol
I can drive an 80,000 pound semi with 10 gears yet this made me nervous lol. Good job man. Looking at getting my motorcycle license as well.
Thanks. Interestingly, I drove city buses part-time during college and I had this same instructor for my CDL-B test.
Copy that! Me too
I realized I see a lot of truckers buying bikes these days
Do you automatically fail if you run over the instructor but not kill him/her
Trent Fogg Depends, can you do it without dropping the bike?!
Touché good sir
Trent Fogg Hahahaha
Haha!
While shifting down to 3rd gear
The way she explained it made it sound scary af
She was just trying to sound professional
I agree
Your instructor was a sweetheart.. would have been a pretty stress free experience with her I'd imagine :) good work man.. excited and nervous for mine
Yeah so many comments seem to be calling her a ntiwit and i'm like.. why? She's doing her job she has to explain it.
badkittyamy When people fail, they often blame everything but themselves.
badkittyamy
shes awesome
she is pretty cool and nice.Those kind of people make the test more relaxing and worry free.Our instructors are 2 fucking idiots who they thought they were fucking ninjass...assholes.
@James Hart did you make it?
This made me nervous and I’ve been riding motorcycles for over 20 years lol
Phillip Brailsford legend has it, guys that have been riding at least 20 years suddenly don’t go on CZcams anymore. It’s below their status.
One little old lady who doesn't really know all of the rules of the test and only one other new rider there..... That's how I want it to be when I go for mine. Willing to drive to Michigan to do it. haha
AMG the ones who give the tests are riders themselves lol...
Why is there so much hate on how easy this was...the msf course is 5 hours of class room and 10 hours of riding. They all go over the same thing this video did. None of it is hard some places make you do the figure 8 box and some don't...can't we just be happy that another person is on 2 wheels
Amen. Nobody cares about the test we had to pass. Some are easier than others, but in the end, they all serve one thing: make sure you can ride on the street.
Though I was confused whether this is the whole thing or not, is there some kind of theory classes or are you able to show up, deliver and get your permit?
How's ur life now so many years later ?
InsaneInc sum times you wont have to do this test if yo take the msf
Here in Norway its very different when taking the motorcycle license. Here you can be 16 to ride a 125cc 15 kw bike. You have to complete multiple traffic courses and a theory test. Then you can take the driving course in the end. The difference is that you either drive with the teacher sitting on the back of the bike or him riding behind you. The riding course includes a part one: Tests in a area like this video with exercise cones. Then part two: You have to drive in traffic with your driving teacher either behind you or sitting on the back. If you complete that you have the a1 motorcycle license. The education system in Norway when it comes to driving licenses is very safe, and thats why so few accidents happen here also. But it's expensive:P
@@giumorbia rip chewberka
I love the "gosh damnit" noise you make when you put your foot down. That is 100% something I would do hahaha
The prologue to the test sounds like the one you get when your about to take a state test in highschool
The test seems to vary widely state by state and country by country. I took my original motorcycle test in Alaska in 1976. The instructor sat at a desk inside a tiny building and told me to get on my bike and ride around the little building once. I did. I walked inside and he said I passed! I don't think he even looked up from the desk. In Minnesota (1984) it was completely different. Very difficult test. The lines on the figure 8 etc. were electronic and any touch would register as a failure. They had an electronic panic stop track where you had to reach 35 mph (electronic radar display in front of you) with a green light that would stay green until BANG it went RED. You had to absolutely dynamite your front brake (without lock up) to pass it. Lots of busted mirrors and turn signals had to be swept off the track because many flunked it badly. Many in line with me were on their 3rd or 4th attempt at passing the test. The ONLY way to pass was to crush your brakes and not dump the bike. The distance allowed for braking seemed like a postage stamp at that speed.
fudge I live in Minnesota and planning to do this test maybe fall time. I hope it's not to crazy now
+Dave Lee I don't know how it is now. I took that test in Eagan. I wouldn't worry about it, but do practice lots of slow speed weaving and stops in a parking lot before you test. Brake in a strait line and plant both feet at the moment of stop. I passed on a 1000cc Kawasaki and others were there on Harleys, so it is passable with practice.
+Dave Lee Took it 3 years ago, it's nothing like he's describing.
Tennessee here. I’ve ridden for 15 years but finally got my license this year to insure my new street glide. I pulled out of the lot and went 40 yards up the road, did a u-turn at a church, then came back......test over. I never got above 2nd gear and it lasted like 45 seconds
Minnesota 84 Sounds like Module 1 in the UK, we then have to do Module 2 which is an on road test for 40 minutes. Surely it just means we have better riders on the road?
Practice the quick-stop a few times so you feel comfortable stopping really fast and aren't afraid of losing control of the bike. On the u-turn: look where you want to go, don't be afraid to give it some throttle if you feel like you're about to fall over, and (this one helps a lot) lean in the direction opposite from the side you're turning on. If you're on a smaller, more agile sport bike like I was, the cone weave is a breeze.
Hey man I’ll be doing this on a 600rr and I’m scared that I’m gonna mess up on the right turn so the second little test what do I do
Congratulations. I'm taking my motorcycle course in August.
@@brianhudson4506you don't do it on a 600rr, that's what you do. Right?
But you been told that many times by sensible people. Right?
But you didn't listen then. Right?
Riding a smaller engine teaches you corner speed, keeping speed up, flow, while giving you a better safety margin.
How did you do?
@@Google_Does_Evil_Now I actually didn’t want a 600 but I did the course on one and didn’t miss one point on my test and I bought a 650 I was just getting my license so I could ride my brother’s bike until I got mine which I had gotten a week later
People are not complaining how easy was your test. They are crying for envy. In my opinion, thank you for taking the time to showing us how it is done.
I took mine 15 years ago, passed and never rode a Motorcycle after that only because I couldn't afford it. To this day I still have my Motorcycle license.
How did you...take the test without a motorcycle?
Noob-alaul Suprem I think DMV’s sometimes have a motorcycle there.
@@chef9524 lol that's sick. I want a dmv motorcycle lol
Dear Mr. Pope... Thank you for this awesome video... I am taking my test tomorrow and you have given me an insight of what is going to happen... Thanks to you a feel more confident for tomorrow. Much appreciated...
i failed 3 times, someone help
What bike are you testing with?
Same
Deutscher Albtraum motorcycle
If you have failed this 3 times bikes ain't for you
@@leglessfool5093 you are wrong, all 3 times I failed I learned from my mistakes and got better and passed fourth time. Some bad things that happen to you while trying to pass your drivers test definetly wont happen after you pass the test.
That test instructor is so calm.
The more I get mentally ready to learn the less nervous I get. Reminds me of my class D, B, and class A CDL tests, there is always a fist time.
So I'm thinking about making a new video where I go back to this parking lot and try the test on my own just to see if I can ace it now that I've been riding for a while. What do you guys think?
Yes
Yea
I think you did a great job on making the video, it gives you a first hand experience on what to expect and how the coarse is laid out. this will give a person a good idea of how and what to practice in a parking lot before taking the real test. Well done!
Thank you! I wasn't sure if the camera would be allowed but she didn't even mention it once.
@@TheGodDamnPope thank you
god im feeling nervous from just watching this video dmv people talk with a tone that make me feel like im going to go to jailed or something lol
Holy fuck RIP headphone users in the last 5 seconds of this video
LOL!!!!
Scared the hell out of me! I literally jumped!
omg, you did awesomely. I'm petrified of doing all this right now but hoping the course will help me. Thanks for posting this, very informative and it was great to see it from your perspective.
This test seems a lot Mir logic then doing figure 8s. Ive never done an 8 ever on the road. Might as well test to see if I'm capable of scratching my ass while Turning
Stabilize your speed between 12 and 18mph? I think this test might have been developed in a metric country.
Devosaurus Rex you don't say. That's why the number of mph are odd, it's 20 and 30 kmh that's converted to mph, if it was a test developed in the US or Liberia I would expect it to be between 2 nice round numbers like 15 and 20 mph.
That's what I was thinking, where's her speed gun??
nananooknak I think it'd be pretty obvious to tell if he was going below 12 and above 18 mph.
nananooknak She has a stopwatch and knows the distances.
@@TroutOfOrder You are actually allowed to go faster than 30 as long as you stop in time.I find it very easy to do sudden stops when im going faster
I'll be going for mine at the end of the year, you made this look practiced as heck, props to you mate
This helped a ton!, what was more helpful was that this is the state i am currently taking the test in thank you!
Thanks for sharing this vid. Interesting to see how this is done in other countries. I just passed mine in The Netherlands yesterday. The types of exercises are similar though they're harder, such as tighter cones and curves, higher and lower speeds, etc. By the time most people pass the test they're quite comfortable on a bike and able to handle the following driving classes and the road exam pretty easily. The real learning starts after you get the license of course :)
For the Non Americans who (only the ones talking shyt) forgot how to use a description box
"UPDATE: I hate to be rude but... nobody cares if your country has more difficult tests than this. It's getting a bit old with all the people spamming this in the comments. I've only had one minor accident in the three years I've been riding, and it wasn't anything that a more difficult test would have prevented. So please, spare us all the "ZOMG UR TEST IS 2 EASY" crap and leave a comment that's at least slightly less useless. Thanks!"
***** I don't take offense to it, it's just annoying that everyone seems to think it's some kind of pissing contest of who has the harder test.
It should be harder though. Less rookies on the road (bikes and cars)
@@Playboyy1985 oh STFU
How's ur life now so many years later ?
yet you americans are the first commenting on issues like foreign gun culture. fuck off
I’m glad you passed. Congratulations! Happy motoring! 😊
This was a great vid. You can see how he needed to get a bit closer to the right red line for that left U-turn. Her tone was a bit dead but she was very clear in her instructions and her diagrams and showing him where he was at was good as well. I don’t want to call him out on his u-turn either, but we can see where the mistake was and we can learn from it. Great job with uploading it because it does help.
Congrats man! I know this is from a couple years ago, but I felt like I should comment as most of these comments are missing the point of the video sadly.
i am from uzbekistan and our test is much harder we have to tie wheels to our legs and run round.. getting up to speed is exhausting and emergency stop everyone breaks nose.... but nice video thankyou
Just passed my test on my ninja 250 today, giving you a lot of credit cause you helped me prepare a bunch! Thanks Bro!!!
Thanks man!! Watched this a couple times. Gave me some direction for sneaking in some practice runs.
"Come on over and ill write out your certificate." Sounds so good. Congrats bro
Passed my test 2 weeks ago first try. 6 points deducted because I put my foot down twice. It feels good to have my motorcycle license. Great video bro!!!
Feel great !
You have good taste in motorcycles, ninja 250 ftw! This video was really helpful especially because I plan on taking this test in the near future. Great vid man, you just got a new subscriber. TheGodDamnPope
Thanks for the video. Found it via another search, but it was still nice to see how it actually goes down. I'll be taking mine in July.
I have some editing software, I've been working on learning how to use it. When I posted this I knew nothing about editing. You can still hear her if you turn your volume up a bit.
well this put me at ease a little bit ty i found this vid very helpful
CONGRATULATIONS! You did a great job
I honestly would love if they had your test on the actual roads with a follow up motorcycle giving you a location to go to watching from behind. All these colored lines can be damn confusing especially when your instructor doesn't make it clear. I also love how she almost yells at you to turn off your motorcycle after the first test as if you knew to turn it off. Thanks for the video mate!
i'm just getting ready to take a test... so this was extremely beneficial for me to watch, even if the test here isn't the same, i at least have an idea of what too expect... glad i came across this, you definitely earned my like and sub
This is exactly how my test went. Same instructions and everything. I’m licensed in GA.
I feel like getting a license is ga is way to easy.
@@TJGotYou. too
Hopefully it's like this oen for me too because I want to know exactly how to do it ahead of time, I'll be practicing in a couple weeks so I'm very excited
It's been 2 years since i had to take this test. Thanks for the refresher.
Thanks for this video, got the cheat sheet to do my skills test and was confused on how it scaled out, this video definitely gave me a base to practice on
By watching you're video I'm not nervous about the test seems really easy.
her voice is gona make me fall to sleep
Marhfac displine bro
That's part of the test.
Bro
That instructor was probably one of the best grading the exam that I’ve watched. Clear and concise. Showing what needed to be done to pass the exam
Thanks man, I couldn't easily find specific details on the test anywhere. This was much appreciated, I'll definitely be able to pass, haha.
God, this brings back so much stress and nervousness of when I took my motorcycle test 😬😂
Fuck it I'm happy with the car license
congrats man and be safe ✌️
Thanks for sharing the video. Very useful!
You should have done a stopie on the 3rd lesson😂😂😂
a friend of mine did that, and weaved through cones while doing a wheelie (he is a motocross rider). All thry said is that he clearly knew how to handle the bike but still needs to do it properly, got to do it again on the spot
This one seems so much less stressful than the group ones
i have to like this!! after all you took the time and pleasure of showing us how it works and is done ! over here in europe we also have to do a lot of things like this plus counter steering and hard stopping only with front breake and if you can , make it skid without falling, guess it to see if you fear riding. thanx pope!
Thanks for this video. I’m gonna be taking my test in a few weeks
i passed the test with a beer in my hand
Whiskey tit I stole s sip when you wernt looking
Nothing to feel good about it is the easiest exam ive seen in my life
I was so scared of the U-turn part during my test. Only part I actually messed up on was the swerve because when I did it, I felt something under my back tire and I thought I popped the tire. Ending riding over the line just a little.
Took mine yesterday and passed with a perfect score. Great job!
Dude nice! you nailed the swerve test: )
Damn im so nervous for my driving test this tuesday!
But mine is more difficult, we have to do:
1. Get a task about a part on the motorcycle u have to check details to know if its good enough for driving and explain the consequenses etc.
2. Do a daily check of the bike, checking lights, signals, breaks etc as fast as u can.
3. Do driving test on a track which includes, Countersteering in 80 km/h, 80 km/h emergency breaking, cone driving, turn techniques and breaking while in a fast turn.
3. Driving test on the road, which is hard as fuck cause they fail you for details like possition, being too polite, driving too slow for long distances etc.
How'd it go?
ovo xo
Passed :) I failed once on the cones, and one time on counter steering. But the reason for that was because my driving instructor kept giving me tips, and when i started trying to do what he told me i failed them. But as we get two chances on each test, i passed :)
are you norwegian?
Well shit. I only have the driving test on the road and then I do the 8 shape without putting my feet down and I'm passed..
Hell im nervous and im not even taking the test for at least another year or two due to financial restrictions
lmao xD same here
KarRuptAssassin yeah man I want my license sooooo bad but I'm not going to be able to get it for a least a few years.
Soooo did you ever get a license?
I don’t know how I came across this video 9 years later. But this is the best training video I’ve seen yet, I’m saving up for a bike atm and this will truly help.
Same but my dad wants me to get a car first lol, I'm definitely looking to start off with a r1 though
Thanks, it's certainly been here a long time but I'm glad you found it helpful. I originally recorded this because I couldn't find any similar videos when I was preparing for my test.
I've just read through some comments, and there is alot of people saying it's harder where they are from
I have yet to find one that say
"Congratulations on passing your test!"
so... Congratulations on passing your test! :)
Wow, this test seems easy compared to the one we have in Sweden! We have to go waay slower and the U-turn radius is 4m not 6m as you did. If we put our foot down once we maybe get another chance to to the entire course again.
Gawd. You go to the DMV and they practically give you a drivers license. But if you want to ride a motorcycle, they put you through this shit. It's an easy course, especially with a smaller bike. But it's a pain in the ass.
think a Honda Rebel is easy to do this on?
***** Oh god dude, my first 'real' street bike was a Honda Rebel. It was easier to ride than a 24 speed Jamis I had. If I had to take the test again, I'd borrow a Honda Rebel. It's a very relaxed bike, nimble and light. It's the equivalent of taking a Nissan Stanza to a drivers course.
GuMpAkC great to know. Appreciate it!
+Edmund Leong gayyyy lol
***** Fantastic bikes!
That was awesome.
Congratulations
Gave me some more insight or idea of what I'll be doing in my test, so I can practice a little! thanks!
I hope she talks louder in my test
It don't look like you will be taking it no time soon
Looks fun and easy! Too easy, actually. At least riding in that part of US doesn't seem to difficult. City riding is a bit of a hassle though
Nice video! It's good to compare notes :)
I find this test a bit easier than the one I got in Bulgaria.
The 1st test is almost the same except that after the slow slalom we have to stop take a passenger and make the u-turn with the passenger withing the box you had in your next test.
Instead of the "turn from stop" we had a "figure of 8" and after that ... pushing the bike in few turns :)
The fast tests were similar to yours, but the emergency-stop one we had to stop from 50 kph (~31 mph?) which wasn't hard as long as our small bike (usually 125cc) can accelerate to 50kph in the given distance. Also the "emergency-stop" test was actually just the 2nd part of an exercise - the 1st being fast slalon (with min of 30kph).
The last one (swerve) was the tricky one. We had again to develop 50kph in a short distance, then reduce to about 30kph in a few meters, and then make the swerve.
It's important exercise (in real life can save your life) but in the test they check (with radar gun) if you have 50kph at the line few meters before the swerve, so if you start braking earlier you fail, if you start to brake too late you'll be too fast for the sharp swerve (given that you probably overshoot the speed to make sure you have 50kph - if you had 49 you fail :/ )
So until we master it, not so few people (incl. me) had fallen.
If you make a mistake you can have one more go, but can't pass if you don't nail it.
I'm curious to see the German test, I heard it's really challenging.
Yeeeeeeehaw! Congrats and thanks for posting
it does make you consider the ability of someone delivering a test when they apppear to be so stuck on having to read the script without being able to deliver it confidently and informatively.
Also all of those lines and boxes on the site make it quite confusing for those taking the test.
Surely a more professional location could be arranged.
Whilst the test is not difficult, it would be nice if they gave the applicants the best chance of succeeding by improving their testing processes.
If the person can't figure out the track how will they figure out the road sighs and Lines on the road. In short terms . if you can't read the track you should ride on the rode
How nice would it be if the instructor was on a bike and could demonstrate the task instead of all this blah blah blah. when I took my test like this in Ohio in 93 it was harder to get the appointment
Than it was to complete the test. I swear they acted like it was their
Job to keep you from getting a bike license.
kirbazoid I'm from ohio an I finally go today after 2 years of waiting
How's ur life now so many years later ?
Same shit today. I have 3 DMVs within 30 minutes. Still I must travel 1.5 hours to get a license. First world country my ass.
@@giumorbia lmaoo boy stfu, you mad because yo daddy told you no to riding
kirbazoid yeah I would love a demonstration
Great video. Thanks for sharing!
Do it, updates are the best!
Could you possibly tell me what State this exam was giving/completed in?
Also congrats on the completion!
Taking this test on Saturday with a Honda Grom 125cc.
Did you pass it dude?
Yeah, had no point deductions. It was really easy.
Nice mate
***** Awesome, congrats!! :)
I just got a Grom....haven't taken the test yet...still practicing
Good job dude!
I’ve never been so nervous watching something that looks simple
5:51 “uhh” flashbacks to when I did this exact test. I felt that bro.
I'm such a bad listener I might actually fail lmao, I'm so scared this calmed my nerves a little >_
I felt so happy when I heard her say you passed your test I hope I hear that myself one day
Oh lord this brings back memories. I took my course a year ago and I'm astonished at how skilled of a rider I am now.
Did you pretty much do the whole test in first gear?
Looks like it
ticonderoga8000 yes max speed he got up to was like 30 if even that
Harder to ride slow than fast.
Bradley Thomsen you dont die when you ride slow..
@@johneriksson45 that’s just wrong. I sliced my leg open bleeding all over the place riding slow. You can definitely die going slow
This looks hard in Canada all you have to do is ride around the road for half an hour and your done, they put an earpiece in your ear and you just turn when they tell you to so it's super easy haha
In bc it’s a written then a skills kinda like this one then a road test huge pain in the ass
Congrats man thats awesome i really want to get mine now !
Congrats on passing the test.
I watched the video on 2x speed without realizing made this test way worse looking.
"i cant tell you that" i hate that sort of mental flaw people have when they wrongly feel their authority is being challenged
congrats!!
Great job buddy I'm trying to get mine so this video is very helpful thank you bro
