Hey there - thank for the video - great insight - I just got my Ls... wondering - what boots are you wearing? are they strict on that? on the group ride - what are they looking for? Thanks Chris
11:24 I was so bad at this part. I gunned it on my Honda NSR150SP 2 stroke. I was probably doing 40. I basically dropped the bike but I was strong enough to hold it from touching the ground. I passed.
Hey mate,nice skills...im planning to do my most test but can i do it on my own or should i join somekind of club like stayupright or etc...can i just book it online like in a car driving test
I'm questioning renting a bike for $180 or coming in with a 90's bike made by JPE with the power of dreams. May I ask, were you in idle for too long during the day?
bro i need you to tell me,do they care about loud bikes?i have a ninja 300 with some unamed 60 dollar ebay exhaust that looks like a yoshi r77.loud asf with no db killer.would they give 2 shits in the most test?
How long was the total test I understand that the ride was about an hour like you said but after you were able to complete the most test were you able to leave before the 8 hour day is done?
Individual test should only take 10 to 15 minutes but depends how many people is in the class that’s why it takes so long. The whole thing takes 8hours overall with safety instructions, group ride, lunch, test and no you can’t leave early
Hay bro great vid got me L last AUG had some hiccups with my first bike topend needed rebuilt then was out of riding for 3 month then got my ktm duke the. Someone hit me from behind so no bike now been out of riding for 3 month,used to ride dirt bikes as a kid so no myself around the bike,I’m going for my ps July l,bit nervous you think I’ll do alright
@@prakpoomchuekaeo1166 apparently they send alot of dirt bikes home if theyre too loud which they typically are naturally. Best to fit on a baffle before going in
@@titaniumquarrion9838 Because some of the tests, particularly the u-turn are way harder on a bike with really upright forks. The point is to pass the test and get your licence so why not use a bike that's going to make passing the test as easy as possible.
@@The_Other_Dan My statement stands as does the rational behind it. If you can't pass what is such a basic level piss easy test on the bike you are going to ride on the road you shouldn't have license and shouldn't be on the road.
In the group ride doesn’t matter just be safe. In the actual test is where you will be closely checked . Dropping your bike . Head checks I’m not sure there is a few more things that I forgot
What does comms have to do with navigation? Do you mean GPS or phone nav apps then yes you can use them but don't start messing around with it while riding as you cant do that. If you need to adjust your nav app/GPS you have to pull over and do it.
@@titaniumquarrion9838 what if someone gets caught at a set of lights or a round about? How will they know where the group has gone? How will they know where to go? Does the instructor need to give them instructions whilst on the ride?
@@lafaele1980 I thought you meant navigation in general while learning... The instructors are very experienced and the pace is right to minimize issues as are checks and balances if the group gets split at lights etc. If you are worried you'll get lost on your Ps ride don't sweat it. You'll get a thorough brief on conduct and "what ifs". Worst case, like for any group ride, if you are separated and unsure where to go the best thing to do is pull over somewhere safe and wait. They'll come back for you.
@@lafaele1980when I did mine the instructor told us where we needed to go ie take 2nd left, third roundabout go right, head straight then right at second lights...you get the picture. I was always at the back and ended getting separated a few times for various reasons, just listen to the instructor and you can do no wrong :)
I didn’t practice those test drills until that day, but if you can control the throttle and the clutch and a little bit of the rear brake you be ok👍 With the group ride if you do find yourself behind everyone try your best to keep up so you don’t get lost.
Just did mine today, a fair bit harder than i thought. Overall good experience
Whats diffrent to the ls I heard the computer was the same but rider was abit diffrent got till next month to get it
Did mine on Saturday at the same location, was so fun, I passed too, congrats
Congrats 👍
We all remember this group ride at some stage! Haha . Nice clip 😂

Hey great insight... As part of this session do the riders practice the course at the end? Or is it one time only?
Yes you get to practice before the test which is good 👍
Hey there - thank for the video - great insight - I just got my Ls... wondering - what boots are you wearing? are they strict on that? on the group ride - what are they looking for? Thanks Chris
I’m wearing timberlands but they are not strict on footwear you can wear anything. Before the group ride you will be told all the hazards

good tips bro
Love the sound of your exhaust, is it a mod or stock?
Mod exhaust Dominator.
U turn sucks!! It was the only part of the test that had me nervous. =)
Hey mate,nice skills...im planning to do my most test but can i do it on my own or should i join somekind of club like stayupright or etc...can i just book it online like in a car driving test
Yes you have to book the rider test online or give them a call. Once you pass go to service nsw update your license
Hey mate, do they check tyre tread and aftermarket exhaust loudness? Cheers.
Yes they check tyre treads, exhaust should be okay mine was pretty loud
I'm questioning renting a bike for $180 or coming in with a 90's bike made by JPE with the power of dreams. May I ask, were you in idle for too long during the day?
You will most likely have your bike running most of the time even when the instructor is talking during the pre test and the actual test
For the Group Ride, is it same route everyone does just with the front person being swapped?
Yes basically just follow the leader majority of the time it be the instructor at the front
were you in first gear all the time ?
Yes I was always in 1st gear
Im guessing theres the instructor infront and one behind watching ya?
No just one he or she will take turns leading and being last behind.

@@Alfie333 do they go over your bike before you start the day, or can they reject you if your bike is too loud?

do yiu incur points if yiu skid on the qyick stop test ?
Yeah I think so but not sure how many points.
which uturn did u lose points on?
The one you have to do inside the yellow square -5 points I just touched the line
So coming to a stop that close to another biker doesn’t matter? I’m doing it soon and I want to know what would immediately fail you
In the group ride doesn’t matter just be safe. In the actual test is where you will be closely checked
. Dropping your bike
. Head checks
I’m not sure there is a few more things that I forgot
What gopro mount is that?
The mount came with the go pro and I used 3m double sided tape and tape it to my helmet
bro, which part of the u turn did you fail ?
From 10.11 to 10.23
Struggled with the weight much
Weight of the bike was okay
Is that your bike, or did they give it to you?
Mine, you rent from them a cb125

How many points can you lose before its a fail?
You only have 8 points, Some things are straight fail like dropping your bike during the test and some things I don’t remember.
Forgetting to check your mirrors and blindspot is also a straight fail.
