Key points: 1) Use lighter low cc motorcycle 2) Wear high-visibility gear & helmet 3) Use rear brake instead of front for stability in slow maneuvers 4) Go slow!
That's a good strategy if you are comfortable starting at higher speeds. I took it slow since I was focussed on turning and accelerated after passing every cone.

I rode there from Columbus OH just because couldn't get any COVID time appointments. Chillicothe was a mere walk-in although an hours drive (that I thoroughly enjoyed). Btw, moved to California - biker's heaven in November 2021!
@Anomy01 go to bmv and pass the permit test. You can drive with that without your motorcycle license as long as you have a driver's license. You just can't drive at dark
How far apart are the cones on the swerve test. I wanted to set up a practice exam with cones in a parking lot and I was interested in knowing. I have a 900 CC kawasaki vulcan motorcycle. Also how much distance do you have on the right turn and also how much distance do you have to make a U-turn. Thank you for uploading!
After receiving my temporary permit card (already received) know I have to wait 6 months before taking the actual license/endorcement test but to do that is this the next step and if I pass do I get my license or is there another test after this one? I’m confused because it says you can pass the skills test or the actual motorcycle test so I just need clarification on that. I live in ohio. Thanks for any help!!
Bro you don't have to wait 6 months unless you're under 18. "Over Age 18 When you're ready, you can schedule a skills test. The test will take place on an off-street course." "Under Age 18 Prior to testing for a motorcycle or motor scooter license or endorsement, riders under age 18 must: Complete the probationary driver license requirements Hold the TIPIC for at least six months" You just schedule the skills test with the closest BMV that offers license tests, you can do it the next day after you get your TIPIC if you want to.
@@ipodpancakes2874 Only the test 2 that has the U-turn is different for higher cc motorcycle. For motorcycles higher than 600cc you do a U-turn without considering the dotted blue line. You make a U-turn between the two pink lines. Check out 5:50 of the video.
Thats not a stupid question at all! You can ride during the day based on the temporary permit obtained after clearing the computer based test. Only restrictions are to not ride 2 up, between 12:00 pm - 6:00 am, and without an actual motorcycle license/endorsement after 1 year of temporary permit. Thanks for asking. Ride safe.
The computer based tests had questions and answers. The computer test is not covered in the video but fee questions were asked in the spot like what is the engine size if bike, can you honk, can you indicate a turn, etc.
The final swerving part is new to me because they didn’t had that back them that’s just bullshit how they put it that sharp turn when I was taking it I did it but I found it like yo you know this is a motorcycle not a fucking car but Ohio is dumb nothing we could do about it so sad even the test is dumb 5 question about motorcycle and the rest about cars and trucks and I answer in English the one I got wrong it shows the right answer so I took it in Spanish the second time and put the right answer in Spanish that they show me in the English test and I got it wrong it’s funny how much bullshit they are they just full of shit they got that system to take people money because they self don’t know wtf they doing
@@emmanuelgonzalez714 babies huh lol so we’re the ones who are babies yet ppl are still wearing masks when it’s proven over and over that they don’t work..? Paranoia is a helluva thing my dude. People just like to be afraid I guess
As an Ohioian Ohio sucks when it comes to motor laws.
when you are doing zig zag, you dont use gas at all, you find a sweet spot in the clutch and use rear brakes. easy
That's a good strategy if you are comfortable starting at higher speeds. I took it slow since I was focussed on turning and accelerated after passing every cone.
If I did that on my r1 it would probably stall lmao
@@2901485 if I did that on my 250 it would stall too lol. Riding in the clutch and and using gas is reserved for bikes that have enough engine power to do so, and also not too much.
That's what I do in my 250. Worked like a charm. We are teaching our son on my Rebel 250 and he is now doing that too.
Taking mine saterday in Ohio can't wait
All the best
I just got mine today on a sportster with 20in apes 😂
Good ol’ Chillicothe Ohio. My home town. Hopefully you’ve found your way out of That small town sir!

Will get mine next year, enjoying my temporary for now, lol
How yo you get your temp first?

@@jonnyshelke1 thanks, passed with a perfect score on my 05 zx10r 🥷👌🏻
@@gdoubleu4403 I am glad!
Thanks man, I feel for anyone that's failed though.
@@gdoubleu4403 Same. Hope they could use our insights.

Thank you for uploading!
Don't quote me on it but seemed about the length of one parking lot or less. Best thing is to go to the DMV itself to check it out.
@@jonnyshelke1 you mean a parking space? 9 or 10 feet possibly?
@@berniegus I think so.
I hope you have practiced your U-turns since this....
Thanks I did. Turns out I can do a lot better U turns on the R3 that I currently have than the ninja 300.
So does the license only allow you to ride on the size of engine you take the test with initially??
Nope! This license is good for all size motorcycles.
Did mfs this week passed and final tests were these
On the swerve test did you just lean your bike,our did you countersteer buy pushing your handle bars right. Congrats
Just leaned quickly. Countersteering happens above 20 mph.
Stupid question. New to riding. Is the a M.S.F course or just your local B.M.V skills test?
All questions are valid! Its just local BMV skills test.
@@jonnyshelke1 thanks so much!

This video is the next and final step that includes the 4 tests shown.
@@jonnyshelke1 thank you a ton! I appreciate the help! Hope you’re out there enjoying the beautiful freedom!
@@Chase-zu8by Yes I am! Thanks mate .V.
Bro you don't have to wait 6 months unless you're under 18.
"Over Age 18

"Under Age 18

You just schedule the skills test with the closest BMV that offers license tests, you can do it the next day after you get your TIPIC if you want to.
First is the question test then the drive test same like a car?
I'm on a gl1500 goldwing think I should find something smaller for the test? Can't really tell how tight the test is from the video
You are fortunate since your bike has higher cc. For bikes under 600cc, it is as tight as the size of two parking lots.
@@jonnyshelke1 if you have a higher cc bike what’s it like?
@@ipodpancakes2874 Only the test 2 that has the U-turn is different for higher cc motorcycle. For motorcycles higher than 600cc you do a U-turn without considering the dotted blue line. You make a U-turn between the two pink lines. Check out 5:50 of the video.
so REALLY stupid question im about to ask. how do you get to the test is you don’t have a license yet? i might be stupid but genuine questions here
Thats not a stupid question at all! You can ride during the day based on the temporary permit obtained after clearing the computer based test.

You have a permit so you can take your bike. 😊
Is this test driving only? Or do you got to answer some question before you start?
The computer based tests had questions and answers. The computer test is not covered in the video but fee questions were asked in the spot like what is the engine size if bike, can you honk, can you indicate a turn, etc.
If I take this test on a motorcycle with a dct will my license only be good for those or could I drive a manual?
I believe it should be good because they only check cc of the engine not transmission. However please check with local state laws as I might be wrong.
@@jonnyshelke1 ok thanks.
is it just me or could my 12 year old little cousin pass this?! lmao
Any one can pass this!
I'd like to see your little cousin pass it on a 600 or more lb. bike. Let me know when they are gonna do it I'd like to come watch lol
He would set the bike down on the u turn guarantee
Haha Chillicothe
Thanks for the video but you were playing with your go pro so much I only heard 70 percent.
Thanks for your feedback. The default gopro mic is somewhat noisy. I'll definitely try not to touch it henceforth.
Ima ride my bike license or not..
Good luck

@@charliebrennan1943 Exactly!
Sorry for your experience. Swerving test is actually quite simple! Just get a lighter motorcycle that you can easily lean.
Why is this examiner wearing a mask? Really?
I am thinking the same thing. I think they mandated it during august of 2020 when this test happened.
@@jonnyshelke1 all of Ohio was mandated to wear masks around this time because of DeWine 🙄
