welcome back to Ramen on Wheels now you're about to take the written exam portion
of this motorcycle course test, what to expect that's coming up next.
once you're actually a rotating class for your motorcycles lessons you expect
to get a book like this or similar like this they'll probably update this book
every few years but and the class should be no more than eight to twelve people
depending on the season of which you're attending the class I think my class was
two for six so six of us total were in the class that I was in and I took the
class during winter so of course not a lot of people are going to ride through
the winter so why would they take the exam during so six people are in my
class they gave us a book like this and I'm gonna read through something notes
that way I can show you and pinpoint certain things you can pause the screen
at any moment if you want to look closer or read more the information also I will
have a link to this exact book in the description box below if you guys want
to read and kind of study it and know exactly
what to expect first the book is 78 pages 70 pages and when they give you
the books the instruction and the instructor will ask you to go to hands
not that the page matter at this point but page 52 53 53 and 57 and they'll
tell you basically to rip those three pages out those three pages have all the
questions that they'll cook though you'll go over and these questions some
of these questions might be an exam in the exam or they'll be in the exam but
their word diverted differently so let's go over those now the ones that you see
on the screen right now that are like highlighted like a pinky purple color
those were questions that were exactly on the exam I can't remember every last
one but I know those three were three or four we're exact were definitely on the
exam so there's a hundred and seventy-five questions in total in this
book and you never know which question is going to be on the exam
so what what they do is the instructor arrow will pick like sign you guys into
three or four groups then say hey this group take numbers one through ten this
group take numbers 10 through 20 and then once you do that search find the
answers for the next 30 minutes so much you're done their structure come back to
your feet and we'll say oh okay what is the best writer position on a
motorcycle then whoever has that insert in that group must say that answer out
loud for everyone the whole class to hear now this is where you need to pay
attention because the class is kind of boring and super easy to just zone out
right but remember you paid money to take this class so focus listen to
everything they have to say because ok for 30 minutes you guys might be going
over questions and answers then for a lot take a 5-minute break going restroom
get a drink water blah blah right then come back another 30 minutes into the
exact same thing you'll keep doing this until you reach all 175 questions once
you reach a question number 175 the instructor will say okay take another
five minute break and then when you come back that's that's when the exam is
going to start there is no you get thirty minutes an hour forty-five
minutes of study no it's just take a rest your break come back start the test
boom okay I'm going through these kind of
fast and I'm only pinpointing things that I remember specifically we talked
about and my instructor which was a female instructor she emphasized more
than other things so there's no guarantee these exact and questions will
be on your exam but there's a strong possibility after all they're all right
now using the same book same one of the very first things that the
instructor will have to go over is the controls indicators and equipment for a
motorcycle now I kind of did like a little cheat sheet and gave you guys all
the answers maybe I was going to study now right now get it
boom go this was another question that was on the exam where it was talking
about different types of bikes and specifying whether or not they were for
on-road or offer use so there was something called fine see fine see is
stands for fuel ignition neutral engine cutoff switch and the choke this was
basically in something easy for you to remember when you wanted to start or
stop your engine fine see the best rider position you know which
is your back straight your wrist I mean your arms bits but relaxed flat wrists
so when you're changing lanes you want to have these basic things in your brain
such as being able to reduce your speed so slow down look to where you're going
scan you area mean or press against the motorcycle to in order to shift to a new
lane and lastly increase the throttle for a smooth transition a key points our
key way to remember this is like your 3 s's which is search set up and smooth so
you search your surroundings you set your position and you smooth
now this one I remember this one was it was like a blend of two questions this
was in that blend when breaking and a curve you want to gently apply both
brakes as she straightened the motorcycle shifting gears in order to
match engine speed with something very easy to remember so it's something that
you probably wanted to put a new brain real quick it's just three step process
rolling off the throttle lifting the shift lever firmly and then easing off
the clutch level when it comes to prepare for a ride this is this this was
not only exam but it's always something that you should need to know so we
prepare for a ride you need to be able to fit the motorcycle stature wise you
know comfortably ride the motorcycle you feet are not too far up or too low down
on the ground we need to make sure you inspect the
motorcycle or scooter before you ride it because you don't want to be leaking
fuel or anything like that and be driving down the road expect you arrive
before you get on it and then make sure you properly where you hear your helmet
your gloves your long pants your shoes or boots goggles and helmet too although
our glasses and helmet all those are really key things
we'll be mentioned a lot now this was also on the exam there was something
called a 12-second anticipation distance so you need to be able to stay as far
back where you have at least 12 seconds to say if something does happen in front
of you you have 12 seconds to access situation and act on it so if something
happens you need to have enough distance where you have 12 seconds to think okay
what do i do do our break do i swerve all of this information another one is
that cars have a lot of blind spots so when riding next to a car it's always
best to ride on the left side of the car that way you're closer to the passenger
of the vehicle so if something happens you can catch their teaching a lot
better than if you're on the right side of that vehicle
I cannot tell you how serious an issue tailgating is so that's why that was
definitely on the exam the people tailgates you you don't
always want to break check them especially your on two wheels say
they're not pay attention to you don't want them to eat you from behind so
another method another method to just straight up for your own safety is
change lanes okay another thing about C because they will have like diagrams on
the exam not a lot man I think one or two and what it will be about like lanes
and Elayne positions and lane changes and it's always important to remember
that you should always be in on two wheels pick a lane or you don't have to
do a lot of changes so don't get on the freeway and go to the far left lane this
was also a question that was on the exam about passengers passengers they say you
shouldn't especially if you our new be right with the passengers because you
got to take a consideration the weights the amount of weight that has to shift
when you're right in a motorcycle or scooter
just basically don't drink and drive people if you want to stay alive don't
drink and drive boom
because far left lane in the u.s. is considered the flash lane now there are
motorcycles and scooters that can go as fast as that but it's for safety reasons
cars tend to be a lot safer than motorcycles when you come be when it
comes to accidents if you guys want to like a little simple what kind of
questions you might see on the Sam and the next little clip will be some
questions and you can kind of practice and see how you do
in my next video I was go over the driven skills test for the motorcycle
course and I'll show you the exact for not questions but course
things that will be on the actual exam and the things you want to avoid doing
in order not to get points - - every point counts you want to pass this thing
I can help I can make that happen for you no I can't
it's all up to you in the end but these tips will help you if you want to see
