Question

How manytimes did it take you to pass your practical motorbike test? (I'm English btw not American)?

Answer 1

Who Cares where your from riding is riding the only thing that change are the road rules

First time go!

no studying

no class

just took it and passed

I often wonder if it was because the trooper that gave me the test was my girl Friends dad

Answer 2

Passed first time.

I took the CBT and then spent a few month accumulating miles on a 125cc scooter with "L" plates to get some confidence and become comfortable with riding. I then took a couple of days out with an instructor just to knock the rough edges off my riding, identify any bad habits and practice the test manoeuvres. I managed a pass first time with no riding faults at all.

Answer 3

Just once. It was not that hard.

Answer 4

Just once.  Tests here are much easier than the corresponding tests over there.

Answer 5

One time.

Answer 6

passed it first time when I was 16 in America...only girl at the time at the test site too

Answer 7

I passed it the first time like everyone else on here...

all you need to do is practice, just like anything else in life.

If you are a confident rider, then it will show, if not, not license will be granted by the DMV.

Answer 8

I passed the first time after taking 40 hours of training - i had very, very little practice before I signed up.  

Since I was over 21, they had me on a 250 cc bike that was really easy to ride.  The same person who did my training did my practical, so it went really well.

If you are concerned about not passing and wasting money, some places will not charge you if you fail.  They may require a refresher course.

If somebody tells you they passed without reading the book, do not believe them.  The written test has some very specific questions.  

Good Luck!!

Answer 9

First time......and I am an American and I did take the English test.

Both the driving test and riding test are MUCH harder in the UK than in the US.

I've taken them both.

Answer 10

First time. if you can ride at all you can pass it. but i would recomend taking it on a small dirt bike or something. i took it on a R1 bullet bike, the tight corners were not fun, but i got through it. you will do fine

Answer 11

Just the one time, aced it.  It was probably far too easy to make sure someone is actually capable to ride a motorcycle, which is probably why people die so frequently.
