What’s up guys? Today I will be going over what you will need to show the DMV here in California in order to obtain your M1 license.

After completing the requirements, you will be issued an instruction permit to allow you to practice driving a motorcycle. You may not drive at night, on the freeway, or have any passengers with you. When you are feeling confident enough, call to DMV to schedule an appointment for the driving test. You have three chances to pass.

The following video shows what you have to do in California to pass. You don’t have to do it as fast as I did. In fact, going slower than I did will definitely help some people.

Please try and take the test on a smaller capacity bike. 250s are generally very popular. I actually found that going a bit faster allowed me the momentum to cruise through the obstacle course. I found that going slower just put me in danger of putting my foot down or tipping over.

However, to each their own. Practice during the weekends when the DMV is closed and good luck! Peace!

So, I finally wore out my rear tire with the amount of commuting I do on the Ninja. I took the bike into Subterranean Cycles and they hooked it up with a new Pirelli Sport Demon rear tire. Nice folks there. I highly recommend you bring your bike in for service!

Now, the Sport Demons are the new conventional sporty tire for medium powered sport-touring bikes. They are lighter, and the precise handling and stable behavior in all riding conditions inspire confidence. And it is all due to the multiple radius rear tire contour. The tire also has optimized mechanical dry and wet grip without compromising mileage (i.e. the life of the tire).

Special thanks once again to the guys at Subterranean Cycles. You guys rock!

I got quite a scare today while riding on the freeway. I look down and my odometer malfunctions. Check out the video and find out what happened and how I fixed it.

Sorry for not updating you on my Kawasaki Ninja 250 recently. Check back for more updates! Peace.

So it’s been real educational guys, but I’ve run out of group motorcycle riding hand signals. Today’s post will be my last installment of this segment. Enjoy, and I hope you guys employ some of these signals during your rides in the future. Be safe out there. Peace.
