good luck with the test!
Riding a twenty foot diameter circle is pretty easy on an RT. A full circle is not "real world", but I do a U-turn on a two lane road fairly often. Or do a U through an empty parking spot to be headed out after parking in the adjoining space. My limit is currently a 16 foot diameter, and I'm not on the steering stops yet.
By the way, I used to live at the top of E. Canyon. I did not have a motor then.
One of the key skills needed in riding slow and tight is being able to work the clutch properly. Learn its friction zone and get control of using the clutch at low speed manuvering.
Turn your head that way and the bike will follow....
Amazing how that works, eh?

I thought if you completed the CA MTC course (15 hours), that qualified as part of the DMV riding test and all you had to do was pass the written? (I checked, it does, the class is given by CHP, info on their website).

I live a long way from any class but will bite the bullet if I fail the skills test once or twice. Getting up at 4 am to drive there 2 or 3 days in a row may end up being my only option.

Take a black light or UV light to your next motel visit and don't reach where you can't see as the hypes stash their rigs everywhere and now we have covid too.

In the mean time I am getting some parking lot practice which is always good. Have not dropped the bike this time around
Thanks, I will continue to look into that. The one I contacted in Sacto said their 1 day will not waive the skills test.CA specific -
If you've been riding for a few years, are just finally deciding to get your license, and you can do the lollipop with weave there is a 1-day course at many of the locations that offer training. They skip the basic clutch-control and start-stop type drills and take you into a few more applicable exercises. Passing still allows you to get your license without a test at the DMV.
