Hi, I’ve been riding for about 2 months and so far am pretty confident with my bike (gs500f) but my road test for my license is coming up on the 11th.
Everyone I know has failed their first time haha, but I was wondering if there are any tips I should know before taking this test.Also, If I do end up failing (hopefully not) would I have to take the permit course again?
any help would be great! thanks!
