Anyone ever taken the California DMV motorcycle riding test?

I'm not talking about the written test, I mean the actual riding test. My permit is getting close to expiring so I really need to get to the DMV (ugh, not fun) and take that test, but I want to know what I can expect. Anyone know the kind of tests they put you through? I'm sure I can handle all of it, I just want to know ahead of time what they will throw at me. Thanks

Yes I have. If you can ride you won't have any trouble. You have to weave in and out of some cones. At least that was what I did. It helps if you have a small bike. I went on a monster though and did fine. Have fun and don't worry. But don't be stupid when you get your license. You may be allowed only one mistake.

Thanks, I figured there wasn't much to it. I've actually been riding for a year with my permit, so I have nice bit of riding experience, so it sounds like it shouldn't be a problem for me. I'm a pretty careful, and very attentive rider, so no worries about me being stupid while riding, I just wish I could say the same for some of the car drivers I encounter while on my bike.
