- Complete California Motorcycle Skills Test at the Carmichael DMV near Sacramento, CA on my DRZ400S. My examiner was excellent - very helpful and personable. Quite a contrast from an uninformed employee inside who almost blew a fuse over me having my camera running in a public place.
I turned off my camera because I didn't really care, but I did have a quick conversation afterwards explaining that anybody can film anything in a public place, and their concerns about "capturing confidential information" are unfounded. If I can see confidential information from where I'm standing, someone in there isn't doing their job.
I took this test 15 years ago and passed on the first time. I didn't renew my license and had to retake it today and I failed lol.
They straight up played you about the recording rules. You're definitely allowed to record inside the DMV it's a public building.
It’s not only a public building they’re government employees, and the law is very clear here they cannot prevent you from recording in public spaces or government employees in an official capacity unless it’s a closed proceeding.
All those women worrying about the wrong things when they should've been working on getting my man his L's so he could ride!🏍️
Lucky!!! 😆
Congratulations man!
Ride safe out there.
It angers me when people are camera-phobic. Or maybe they were just being squares about the rules. Both those things really make me disappointed in people. Thanks for the vid; helps me feel more calm about my upcoming test. :)
I mean look at them, they all look like Snorlax i can see why they dont like cameras.
No cone Tom! Congrats. Only the few get the no-cone privilege!
Was kind of a fun test, did it on a KTM 1290 super adventure, had to lean it pretty far to make the circle. 600lb bike wasn’t the best bike for this test but the bike had loads of torque so never had to deal with clutch or throttle.
Had a guy in a rental Vespa before me and he couldn’t even make it past the cone weave, hit 3 of the 5.
Wow, your cones were twice as far apart as mine. They put mine at less than the length of my bike.
It’s a public building they can’t stop you from recording in there.
listen up, lads. Don't show up to this unprepared on you're big bike thinking this is easy. it's INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT because these "skills" have literally nothing to do with real world operation. Get a dirt bike, or if you really skate easily, rent a 50cc scooter. if you're not gonna cheat with a small bike, you need to at least get out there and practice before you try... you'll see how incredibly dumb the test is
Completely agree. The test is incredibly stupid, with no relevance to actual riding. I think there are a lot of bikes its not even possible to do the test on. And to top it off each dmv has a different size circle (all smaller than state regulations) and different cone spacing.
So, I just have one question, you shifted up two gears, we’re you supposed to turn around and come back shifting down two gears, in which case you (presumably) were already on 3rd gear when you turned around and came back?
Nah, making that turn would be a little tight and hard to stay in 3rd gear, shift up twice down twice, turn, same thing
@@sevastienruezga5095 ok, that’s what I thought. Thanks so much for the clarification 👍
So first you do the written test and then the driving test?
yep. Written gets you a permit then you take the skills. borrow a dirt bike or scooter for the skills. this test is notoriously dumb and has nothing to do with real world operation. I failed on a CBR 900 then passed on a 50cc scooter. how dumb is that? lol
@@mattymediocrity8255 Thank you👍 Lol wow that’s crazy i’m using my electric motorcycle i just bought from Land District, hopefully i pass🤘
@@mattymediocrity8255 wait a minute, you can take the test with a bike/scooter/moped that doesn’t have a clutch?
Does the bike have to be registered?
Yes
This is Carmichael?
I hope someone sees this but i passed my written test and im waiting to buy a motorcycle and get insurance. Once i have the bike registered and insured can i just take the test or do i need someone else licensed to ride a motorcycle with me?
In California, and most states, once you have passed the written test you have a permit and are not allowed to have a passenger, go over 55, or ride at night until you pass the driving test.
you need go with somebody or alone?
i prob would've just turned it off after they said you passed. no need to come waltzing through there with a camera in plain view. somebody could say their address and you'd capture their audio
It’s a public facility and those are government employees. By law they can’t require you to not record….
I just past my written test what’s a good cc bike to take to the driving test
600
@@dcgeeked8917 LOL HELL NO
300cc or 400cc fs ignore the 600cc lmao
@@josephnavarrette1006 thanks for the info I’m new to bikes still a noob
Take it on a 150cc scooter way easier
You think it'll be an issue if I drive my motorcycle to the test site or they're gonna ask me who I brought with me?
you can ride it there if you have it titled and registered. i wouldn't ride it there without insurance tho, in cali the police will impound it if you don't have insurance
you should have a permit if you're taking the skills
To clarify. I need to take the freeway in able to get to my nearest Dmv . Learner’s permit says, not to drive on a freeway. I am assuming that it is OK to drive to freeway on the testing day?
@@t2deck No... there's always surface streets... BUT... the chances of getting pulled over are slim and even if you are pulled over, a cop is likely to be understanding if you're respectful. I road in the freeway for over a year with just a permit. I'm not saying it's "okay"... I just never had a problem. I even got pulled over at night with only the permit and the cop didn't even bring it up. He just wanted to search my backpack. Then he was mad when he found the drugs and Glock... I'm just kidding. I was pulled over at night and the cop didn't even bring it up
@@t2deck none of these idiots are able to answer this question. I just went to take the msf and spent another $400
I took this test today and I didn’t passed it, it’s harder than driving on the freeway
Only thing this test builds is safety while splitting lanes. Teaches fucking nothing for the actual road
