I need to get my full M at some point this summer/fall.. what should I be practicing, best places to take the test or any advice would be great. Will be doing it on a K7 GSX-R600.

Do I need to re-read the driving handbook?
 
I'd start practicing using your motorcycle riding it around; commuting, just generally using the motorcycle and you know... obeying all the laws the MTO would want you to obey. Other good things to do while on the motorcycle since you had your M1 are the basic concepts of riding a bike that you should know, should have figured out in the handbook and the M1 course, and that you should have been doing since you started riding a motorbike.. Things like basic lane positioning.

Hope my sarcasm shines through.

These threads always make me laugh.. SOOOoooo you need to practice specific things to get your M, but after that.. and for the rest of your driving/riding carreer it'll be a big 'F*-it' and you'll just go about riding however you did so before you did your M test where you needed to refresh/practice the things you should be doing all along.. lol...

Maybe don't get your M. Safer for you and everyone else.
 
Try dragging your knee on the on-ramp. The examiner may be impressed and give you an insta-pass for your mad skillz or insta-fail you for stunting.
 
- Put a strip of contrasting of tape on the back of your helmet, this will make it easier for the examiner to notice your head movements
- Remember: Head on a swivel. You need to be checking your mirrors and blind spot constantly. Even if you think you're doing it enough...you probably need to do it more. I kept this in mind for my test, and I still got dinged multiple times. I kept a running counter in my head and made sure to do checks every time

Lots of threads on this, but keep in mind the latest changes to Ontario traffic laws: pedestrians crossing the road, tow truck drivers, cyclists, etc. And as far as police vehicles on the side of the road go, change lanes as soon as you see them and as soon as you can. I got a talking to by the examiner for waiting too long to change lanes when I was doing my road test.

Is it necessary to always try to drive in the right most lane unless instructed not to? I.e - if I make a left turn.. are you supposed to IMMEDIATELY signal and move into the right most lane?
 
Yup. Left lane to left lane first. Then signal. When i did my G test i went straight for the far right. That was my only ding

or actually "NO" is the answer to his very specific question. "It depends" may be better.

What to expect? Expect to learn nothing if you're simply looking for tips on how to pass the test.
Read through the links provided and try to understand the concepts presented, not the secrets to passing the test. The "score sheet" is a distraction.
Learn about lane positioning and the objectives of choosing your lane position. "Always be here" is a typical example of advice coming from someone who "knows" what do to, but not why. If you make decisions based on understanding certain objectives, you won't have to memorize where you're supposed to be. You'll decide when you're presented with the scenario.

Better yet, take a course. Have it explained and demonstrated. Get the opportunity to run through dozens of "what ifs" and the opportunity to practice in real world situations with experienced professionals. Overrated? Maybe. All depends on how your learn, your tolerance for risk, and your personal attitude.

+1

this is about the only thing you need to over do, or over exaggerate I should say. Really though, but now you should know how to ride on the road, know the rules and be able to safely operate your bike within those confines. If you are not comfortable on your bike, still do not know the rules of the road then maybe you should hold off on the license and do a weekend refresher course as well as get more riding time under your belt. There is nothing in the exit course that should trick you up.
 
If you have been riding - it's no problem. It's a cake walk. And for those who haven't, well they will pass too. Everyone in my group had waited till they got their 5 year noticed. One borrowed a bike to take the test. One guy rented one off of kijjiji. They both passed.
Look around at everything like you should be doing and obey the traffic rules. O' and relax and have fun. It will be over before you know it.

I thought I was helping! Hopefully through my sarcasm I helped someone realize they were likely not yet ready to take the M test, and that they should continue practicing all the things they were (hopefully) taught in the Motorcycle Handbook and during their M1 course. However, as others have pointed out, our licensing system is not what it should be and he/she will likely just pass.

I'm not yet sure where your contribution to the thread is. Perhaps your contribution was to the greater good - the FORUM as a whole! Helping to rid the internets of pointless posts, cynicism and negativity! Amen to you!
