Where the heck are you that you can't take your test until the end of May?

Here in Vancouver, we can test all year with the exception of a few icy days.

It's bloody ridiculous really. The roads are all dry and I see people cruising on their motorcycles every day on the way home from work. The riding season up here doesn't last long enough for them to be testing at the end of May and I can't take my motorcycle on the highway so I'm stuck.

Well then.....truck your bike down to a lower and bigger city....

When you say up here, I'm going to take a guess at something like Fort MacMurray...
Go south and get your test done. Go online and make your appointment there.

Can't go south because I don't get time off. Haven't had a day off in three weeks and the head boss warned us today that we'd be replaced if we started asking for days. In any case, I wouldn't spend my precious days off driving south, but thanks for the suggestion.

[blues2cruise]

Oh well....think of all the OT. You'll be able to get lots of accessories for your bike.

I am in the same situation - the openings for the MSF course are not until the End of may. I have only been riding around for about a week w/out a license. I would not reccomend self teaching - consider riding with a buddy if you have one. Read the Drivers Manual from the DMV. I can tell you that the more I ride the more confident I am getting. I still make mistakes but luckily nothing that has caused me to drop my bike or wreck. I couldnt wait till the end of May so I started my license process. I passed the written test on Friday and was hoping to take the driving test but they were full. Looks like I got to get up extra early on Monday to get sign up for the test.

Took and passed the driving test today - it is official, I am legal now!
