This wasn't helpful. The course is low speed, all in first gear, which isn't what one generally gets to practice when riding out and about. A good "how to" should give links to the on-skills test diagrams, and provide dimensions for the course so that potential testers can practice the course. The tests are in the manual, but the manual doesn't give any dimensions to allow one to practice. Also, why transport your bike when you go for the on skills test? Your permit you obtain after taking the written test allows you to ride the bike, with the restrictions of no passengers, no night driving, and no restricted access (Interstates). Just drive to the testing center.
