Have my test today, been practicing for about a month now. You probably saved my ass with the sudden break information.. wasn’t aware that locking tires is a fail. Thank you so much!
Thanks for mapping it out. I have watched several real time examples but still did not understand the layout. Your explanation, particularly "view these cones as a wall" really helped make sense. Thanks.
Hey buddy....you are also a video star. I should hire you as an assistant. You nailed it! Everything he said folks. Great job. Hope you are having lots of two wheel fun 😊
Thanks for the advice! I'm taking my test tomorrow and I'm really cramming for it cause the only available test booking was a week after starting practice. So yeah a little nervous but I really appreciate helping me know what to expect! Thanks!
how'd you do? I'm in the same boat, no tests ever available, took the first one that popped up. Only been on the bike a couple weeks. My only real concern is a toe touch during the u-turns depending how tight they are.
Hey Man I took a VISC and passed my skills test last year but found my bmw 1100r was to heavy for me and my license expired without a road test. So now I have to start over So I bought a HD trike. I did the skills test and failed the slalom between cones. I believe they measured my turning radius wrong and as a result didn’t set the cones far enough apart. I spoke with three examiners and got three different answers on how they measure T/R on a trike. To make matters worse I haven’t been able to get an official TR for my 2022 HD Tri-Glide Ultra. So I am capable of measuring it but want to be sure that I’m doing it right. Front wheel locked to the left. Mark the spot beside the right rear wheel Push the bike 180 deg. Mark the spot beside the right rear wheel. Measure between the two marks. The examiners I’ve talked with would have me put my front wheel on the beginning spot. Also they cannot or will not give me a cone distance to practice with. What to do?
I am taking my test next week and so am practicing as much as I can. My motorcycle/scooter is automatic (300 cc). As I don't have a clutch, what else will the tester be looking for? Any advice you can give me to prepare would be really appreciated. Rory
Thanks WW! I have my test in Kamloops next week. This really helps a lot man. Thanks for sharing! I've done it two years ago, then let it lapse as I sold bike. But I cant wait to get out on the highways without a supervisor again !!!
@@WhiskyWebb Yes, I passed barely.. lol. 5 demerits. But a pass is a pass! And the freedom to ride alone and faster is so awesome! Your vid did help! Thanks again for sharing.
Hello, I need to practice for my skill test and I'm missing the exact measurement of the cones field is anyone could send and schematic with those distance so I could prepare my self. I truly appreciate it!
Practice 2 bike lengths between the cones and when comfortable reduce to 1.5 times bike length. I think about 2m to 2.5m should be about right for that bike.
It depends on the turning circle of you bike. I would practice with the cones 2 bike lengths apart and then reduce to 1.5 bike lengths as you improve. Best of luck!
My appointment tomorrow morning. Wish me luck😊
Passed my test today thanks to you. Thanks man!
Congratulations Geoff, see you on the road pal!

Hi Vito, I hope you passed with flying colours. It would be great to know how it went and what feedback was given. Cheers and safe riding!
Thanks for the tips! Also a big fan of Shelter Point Distillery!

Thank you for this video, it was very helpful. I'm making my skills test next week, this made me feel a lot more comfortable about it.
Taking my test on tues! Excited and nervous! This helps a bunch!
Thank you and I’m from B.C and first time watching your video .
Good luck if you have your test soon!
This is great info, thank you. My test is in two weeks, here on Vancouver Island.

Watching this makes me want to get a bike again.
Excellent info thank you for taking the time to make the video!

Thanks man hopefully this helps me pass first try :) 🇨🇦
Best of luck!

With all this knowledge I'm not surprised you aced the test... The only Driver's license that I don't have is the Class 6 LOL

Front wheel locked to the left.
Mark the spot beside the right rear wheel
Push the bike 180 deg.

Measure between the two marks.

What to do?
Thanks for giving us some details on it, gonna practice up for the skills test in a month!
there are 4 rounds , but in this case there are 5
thank you so much
You're most welcome Steven.
Thus my name! Don’t drink & ride but Riding can make one enjoy a proper thirst after a day of riding, adding to the enjoyment of a proper dram!
Well said Whisky Throttle... Ride to Live, Live to Ride.... and then have a dram!
Very detailed video. Thanks.

I hope it went well and you're free from supervision on the road!

@@danlzlz8405 Good job mate, a pass is a pass! Keep on learning and enjoy the freedom of the road.
This was sooooo helpful. Thank you!
Hello,
I need to practice for my skill test and I'm missing the exact measurement of the cones field
is anyone could send and schematic with those distance so I could prepare my self. I truly appreciate it!
thanks a lot , what is the distance between weaving cones?
It depends on the turning circle of your bike but about 1.5 to 2 metres.
Approx cone lanth on cone weave?
hello guys,, I would like to ask guys im going for my skill test,,but the motorcycle that i have has no horn, would i be able to use it for the test?
Hy Mr. Webb ! I have a 230 Yamaha, do you have an idea of how much space between the cones i should practice with ?
Practice 2 bike lengths between the cones and when comfortable reduce to 1.5 times bike length. I think about 2m to 2.5m should be about right for that bike.
Nice bike Leon, Dr350
Switched it for a KTM Duke 390. It was a great first bike and will be missed!
How much is the distance in between the slalom cones?
It depends on the turning circle of you bike. I would practice with the cones 2 bike lengths apart and then reduce to 1.5 bike lengths as you improve. Best of luck!
Anyone else read the whiteboard as McSkills test ?
McLovin it!
I can only touch the ground with one foot at a time..There is no way I can straddle and walk my bike.
my instructor only made me walk beside bike with steering full lock...
Yes, no need to worry. You can get off your bike and and push it. Good luck!
Thank you so very much
