This is what happens when people don't listen to me. My friend is a relative newcomer from Hungary, came to Canada 4 years ago and has always shown me pics of him riding a dirt bike back home and how he wanted to get into riding here in Toronto. I took him through the steps how to get his M1 and got it with flying colors, so now he took the M2 course. Invited me to go watch him. Right off the bat I noticed he went for the biggest and heaviest bike out of 20 of them (face palm).
He was sluggish and struggling with this big cruiser, he had never touched that kind of bike before, only ridden 125cc dirt bikes. That's one thing I told him to do, grab a small light motorcycle to pass the test. He didn't, says he wanted to "test himself". Well that $600 went down the drain fast. He was being yelled at by instructors to "ramp it up" and "speed it up". Every time he came into an abrupt stop he would almost drop it. The steering is not the same as a dirtbike.
P.S. I saw 3 women and 1 guy being sluggish and making lots of mistakes even with the small dirtbikes, I hope they didn't pass because they are 4 accidents waiting to happen. They are going to get rear-ended if they ride like this in city streets.
