Guys, I passed the MSF course in CT last weekend. I had ZERO experience riding on a motorcycle and I was able to do it. Don’t overthink the entire course, don’t stress yourself, you will be taught every skill necessary and you do it so many times that it is very difficult to fail. Here’s what I’d suggest:
1) have fun
2) listen to instructions
3) clutch control (being in the friction zone is an important skill you need to grasp to pass) - you practice this over and over.
4) don’t get discouraged if you are not getting it right away. You will start getting it with plenty of time before the skills test.
Enjoy!
I take my Connecticut test next week. Just took and passed the online part.
Congrats! I take my MSF next weekend.
@@GunCollector007 enjoy man! Was a lot of fun.
@@ramblinjay3816 enjoy!!
@@GunCollector007 I take mine in CT in a week, what'd you think of it?
Good and helpful video. Just a clarification: Counter-weighting is for slow speed maneuvering. Counter-steering is for normal road or highway speeds.
Yeah it’s crazy to understand until you get the actual feeling of doing it. I just started understanding why I was turning wide and now I get it. I was trying to use my body weight instead of counter steering
Thank you for this video.. I re-test for the skills on 4/30/23.. I should have practiced when I bought my 2023 Honda Rebel 300 but I wanted to wait until I took the course. 🙏🏽
I hope that I helped! You got this!
@@TheJourneyTH-cam Thank you 🙏🏽
I just passed the the Louisiana with a 100 on the skills test
Good job, bud. Me too!
good job~!
I passed my test on a stretched straight piped grom it was a blast lol I’m a little more “advanced” then the other (dirtbike riding, some cruiser riding) and it was a fun experience I was zipping around on it definitely not as hard as people make it to be
Sweet harley iron how long have you had it
Thank you. About two years now. I see your comments on my channel. Thanks for following along.
@@TheJourneyTH-cam np bro
What the acceleration on the Harley
What I wanna know is what gears are you using the whole time . Like what gear to use when you do turns or stops or anything really would help me out .
Almost everything in the video should be in first gear with the exception of things like the quick turn etc. Which I just had in second. I wouldn't be too hung up on gear selection since you'll get a feel for when you need to go faster and the bike will be revving too high. Then you just grab the next gear. Good luck.
During one of our drills, we had to go into 2nd gear for a certain portion of it. Our instructors were very clear about when we should be in second and for how much of that drill. Otherwise everything else was all pretty much just putting around in 1st gear. If you haven't taken the course yet, don't stress at all. We had 3 our of 8 people in our class that had never been on a bike before. They all passed.
@@weatherwatchTX I did first gear all the way lol
Im taking mine in half hour, oh boy...
How’d it go? I have my last day of MSF today too
I did my first day today most of these he clumped together into one big course we went around maybe 10 times and spent more time ranting about politics than teaching us the book work...tomorrow we have a completely different instructor to pick up where he left off because the guy from today has to go out of town so that should be fun...wish me luck 😅
Good luck!
How far are the tennis balls from eachother in the first obstacle
I don't remember exactly but about the width of 1-1/2 standard parking spots (about 12-15 feet) if I remember correctly.
Oregon State has the hardest test I have ever seen~! On the cone swerve the cones are 15 ft apart but every other cone is off set by 3ft from the center line. NOT easy that way. Secondly on the quick corner left or right if you don't turn your head in the direction of the turn like about 20 feet before you get to the L--turn you flunk the turn.... Again not easy to see were the box turn is when they won't let you look at it before you make you turn..... Also on the quick stop you much shift from second to first before you make your quick stop or you flunk that too. 50 years riding and licsenses in two other states but Oregon will try to fail you ~! They make you take the test with a for profit company "Team Oregon" that has a 200 dollar vested interest in makiing you paying for the class twice too !
I'm from Spain and, just out of curiosity (and frustration) I thought, hey I'm going to check if the test are easy or difficult in the US. So, seems that every state is different, right? At least the example of the the video looks very easy. I've checked the test circuits in Germany, UK,... and the example with the swerve you put of Oregon State is maybe the most similar one I have found to the one we to here in Spain. If you're curious, look for "examen circuito A2". Damn it's a mean test! Here they are even a bit more separated to the sides from the center line, and the distance is even narrower (a bit less than 13 ft). The whole test consists of two parts and can be done in a minute, but it is almost the whole time a lots of obstacles, non stop, and a slight mistake you're out. The normal ratio of approval per test here is 20-30%, and most people pass the circuit test in their 3-5th time (me 3rd, a few days ago). Bureaucracy and waiting times is what's killing me right now. By far it's not the most expensive licence of Europe, but frustrating enough that you might have to repeat it over and over and end up eventually paying a lot.
@@renevp2 Wow I thought I had problems.... LOL Kit
Whats the online thing about? Is it really 5 hours? In Texas its 300$ and two testing days
The online class that I did was 5 hours. It's possible that it's how it was being done during Covid. I still had the two days of on site testing though.
@TheJourneyTH-cam yes sir. I'm taking mine may 25th and 26th. I'm just nervous on the testing more than the actual driving.
One of the guys on my course was doing figure 8s, and he said he had to "lay er down" he did not pass lolol
He must’ve grabbed the front brake.
Was the written test hard? I’m not a very good tester
Our instructor allowed questions, even during the test and I think everyone passed in my class. Hopefully yours would do the same. Basically, they explained that the class was designed to teach people how to be safe, not to sort out those who can pass a test. So, you had to pass but they did everything to help you pass. It could be the help that saves your life instead of getting a question wrong and never knowing the right answer! Good luck.
@@TheJourneyTH-cam thank you I’m coming home on military leave and while I’m home I’m gonna take the riding part I already did the online part and apparently that was the written test and I passed and I didn’t even know it Thank you for your videos they were a great help 👍
@@josepholiver6733 good luck and thank you for your service! I'm glad the video helped.
I’m just now a 18 year old going to get my permit tomorrow then waiting for my msg course to get my endorsement wish me luck
Good luck!
Have you dropped that Harley yet?
Haha nope.
s a choke located at fuel supply
There's no manual choke on this bike because it's fuel injected.
@@TheJourneyTH-cam ok. I got engine cut off and fuel supply valve confused.
Some newer bikes do not have fuel supply valves.
@@TheJourneyTH-cam I got lots to learn.
Fuel injection etc.
@@janeprescott980 no worries. Learning this stuff is half the fun.
You have failed for lack of proper gear. ATGATT...
failed after two worthless days in stormy weather, didnt emphasize any practical skills, just criticized looking down when pegs on shitty 500cc harleys fold when pulling feet up (im too large for those bikes), but hey, run 4 times on a course its second nature to you.....NOT
Useless!
