i fuggin failed the written.

Re: i fuggin failed the written.
ok so i passed the written exam after reading the booklet. go rocco. and then i failed miserably on the riding test. its a small course where i had to swerve through cones and make a uturn inside a box. how in the hell is it possible on a sportbike to do it inside that box?!?!? i made the mistake of adjusting my scotts to loose figuring it would help with the turn radius. WRONG. it just gave me less resistance then im used to. so i stiffened it back up and still could not get it. i need to find someone with a 250.
now that you know what to do just go out and do it over and over till you think its time to go back and take the test 1 more time...

Not trying to be a dick but its the truth. A lot of newer street bike riders are so worried about dropping there bike they don't realize how far from dropping it they are, then they do something stupid to upset the bike and it falls down...

No your just not skilled enough to know the bike is capable of more than you are

i put 10k on my bike last year alone. incase you didnt read all my posts, i just put on new brake pads and dialed my damper all the way down for the test. think about it, my brakes are biting alot harder then they were less then a week ago and with my damper turned off, it totally changed the timing ive been acustomed to for when i shift my weight on slow uturns. i altered my setup, didnt practice and screwed myself. i realized this, corrected it, practiced for a few hours and got it down. not the end of the world, it just hurt the pride a lil.
and im sorry but your first sentence makes absolutely no sense. these sportbikes are capable of a whole hell of a lot of things but i dont believe making a uturn inside a small box at 5mph is something the engineers at kawasaki had in mind when designing the 636.

Ehh ignore him he just likes taking the opportunity to make him self feel better when ever he can... Everyone with common since knows what the **** you were talking about.. I dont care who you are the test will be way easy on a 250 compared to what we all normally ride... the bikes are not made to be going 5mph (Yes they can) But its not what they were built and set up to do... and the slow turns are a bitch if you are not used to it.. I know you think you were trying not to be a dick but you really sounded like a huge one... sorry i picked a bad first thread to come back to this earlly in the morning
yeah, i didnt intend to sound like a dick and after rereading what i wrote it still doesnt really come off that way imo. well maybe the last sentance did a lil but i do believe it to be true. i had just got back from the hospital. my fiddy kicked my *** and i shattered my collar bone. so was pissed cuz i dont have insurance and doped up on iv dilauded (good stuff btw). so i did kind of take offense cuz im fairly well rounded on the big bike but the lil toy which im not very experienced on is what fukked me up.
