Congrats on the M class and the new ride. What program(s) do you use to edit your videos?

The test is similar to many I have seen. Glad to see you did well. The California eye has got to be one of the hardest I have encountered. It is also the subject of many a new rider in California that didn't take the MSF classes to get the waiver. Why? Because so many fail that test. Stay safe out there and enjoy the ride..

Welcome, weldone on the test, Is that all you have to do to be deemed competent?

For the "riding portion" of the test yes sir. There is also a written test which compromises half of the questions from the driving test, and the full test for the motorcycle riding. That is what California has anyway.

Cheers.

I know the driving competency tests are a lot stricter in Europe. What did you have to do to obtain your Motorcycle License in the U.K.?
