Passed My M2!!!!!!!

#1 Unread post by buddhacide »

I hope this isn't a "useless" post, but I had to share that I just passed my 2nd attempt for my m2. I barely made it, and i cant believe they didnt fail me (3 out of 7 people flunked). I was messing up all over the place, but apparently in the right places (stalled 3 times). I passed with 10 demerit points, 11 would have failed me. I would have had to do the whole course over. I tell you, I am so happy right now I could dance in the street. Wooooooooooo Hoooooo. Now to insure this badboy :)

looks like he is from ontario. M2 is almost a full license except that you can't drink. M1 is the equivalent of a learning permit. To get a full M license you need to show up to the ministry drunk and do the test again. (one of the above statements is not true).

enjoy :-)

LOL. Yeah thats pretty much the only difference between an m2 and a full m - the booze. The M2 is good for 5 (minimum 18 months) years, and then i'm expected to go for my full M, which involves highway riding and whatnot.

I tell you its a scary thought that someone like myself, with very little skill and road experience can go out and buy a 500 pound motorcycle and do pretty much anything I want. Luckilly I have already dedicated myself to a VERY long learning curve for this little project :)

I live in east toronto, but I had to go to the centenial college program (Scarborough) because my more local ones were booked up. Nice bunch of guys that run it.

As for where I had problems - it wasnt the same course that was in the study books. It was a series of maneuvers on a closed that tested various abilities. I found it pretty tough.
