motorcycle endorsement-driving tests

Somehow, my endorsement was dropped when I renewed my DL about a dozen years ago. I had to take the driver test again. At the time, I had a GSX1100 Katana that had really tall gearing.

The guy wanted me to go as slow as I could but didn't tell me to slip the clutch. I could have done that. Fortunately, he passed me after arguing about it! The bike just moves out at idle in first!

So my son has been riding off road on the Bashan Storm for more than a year (and on the road). We put a smaller sprocket on the back, so it isn't so easy to drive slow! Off road, he puts his feet down when he needs to, no biggy. But he failed the driving exam once. We set up the cones for practice, but I am worried!

I don't want to get a big sprocket just so he can pass the driving exam, but might have to!!
