Around that time I took the test in NJ. Not having a bike yet, I rented one from a Norvegian woman who specialiezed in this for some reason. Before the test she showed me the test setup in an open area with cones. This was good because I hadnt ridden in 10 years. I protested that the cones could not possibly be that close. She said they are the right distance apart and demonstrated how to do it - with only one hand just to rob it in. I was able to then do it and also do the same in the test and pass. I think it makes a lot of sense to rent a more comfortable bike, even a scooter, for the test if it's allowed. I actually wanted to do thr MSF course which is like a luxury that does not exist anywhere else but the demand for them was huge and they were all booked, even the expensive ones.

The same was recommended in CA if for some reason you didn't have time for the safety course.

> actually wanted to do thr MSF course which is like a luxury that does not exist anywhere else but the demand for them was huge and they were all booked I got lucky and bought a slot on craigslist from someone who decided to bail. Not sure, how often that occurs (and in my case that was 20 years ago). Well worth it imho (while the instructors do stress that they teach you only the very basics). I can't imagine going out in traffic with little more than the skill to ride around cones (as challenging as that is, particularly on a large bike). (actually, I just remember that I was riding before w/o either on my "learner's permit", in fact, I rode to the training on my CB750F, but I wouldn't say that it's a good idea to do so)
