  |  PA MC license test?
You call it a test????  My supply sergeant went for his license yesterday. I recommended he take the MSF, but apparently he knows better than his senior NCO and generally much more experienced rider. (Not to mention it's required by the Army for all Active Duty personnel) Anyway, he took a 30 question multiple choice test and the riding portion only required him to do 3 figure 8's. That's it!!! How does this test a riders ability to handle a bike or react to an emergency or adjust for a mishap??!???  He has no formal instruction other than me letting him ride the Honda Shadow around the Amory parking lot twice for about a half hour each time. He then went out and bought a Vulcan 800, when I recommended he buy a smaller bike to start. I have ridden with him and he has much to learn! Like taking corners way too wide and braking while rounding curves. I think PA should really reconsider it's testing policy for MC licensing. Just my thought. Any other PA riders take the test without the MSF course? |
