I have a test on the 18th in Oshawa. I was wondering if anyone is in the same situation and would like to meet up to practise the test together. Let me know ASAP so we can set a time and a date. Any info on the Oshawa test center would be appreciated. Also are there any videos detailing the Test? If not, why not make one for everyone and put it online while we are at it. I can use the parking lot of the place i work at on Saturday any time to setup the test and we can practise.
There is not much to make a video for. It is the serpintine and a couple left hand turns at an intersection for the most part.
The layout of the test is in the back of the MTO motorcycle handbook.
What about the screeching brake before the line and all. I am just wanting to be cautious, that's all, making sure i pass it on the 1st attempt :)Quote:

But give you a rundown, it is the same order as in the book, walk your bike in a figure 8, then do the serpentine there and back, (now don't go too slow, a little quicker and it will be much easier without any deductions) then slow down the centre of the pylons then fast back and brake, now the tester I had preferred us not to skid as I have read some want you to skid, but they will give you the opportunity to ask any and all questions before you start and there is nothing wrong with asking that. Once you do these, it takes all of 3 to 5 minutes, and you pass he will tell you to go park and wait for everyone else too finish. We all passed this part even though some of the guys were just brutal!
Next we drove to a small parking lot at the main intersection of the town we were in and one at a time he gave us instructions as to where he wanted us to go and as the other posted said, make a left in an intersection (make sure you are in the proper tire track) and then go through some back streets and back to the main intersection from the opposite direction and again make a left in the intersection, again make sure you are in the proper tire track and remember as the one guy that failed, pedestrians have the right of way, even if they just stepped out.
But it was very easy, and as I said, only one out of 6 of us failed.
Good luck and don't stress, it was very easy.
Here are some parking lot exercises that can help you and everyone for tests and just plain riding
