After 19 years of relying upon renewing an International Driver's license to ride my motorcycle here, I've decided to challenge the Japanese Big Bike license. Here are some of the local Motorcycle cops doing the test skills as a competition.

They tell me that it's usual to have to take the test 5-7 times before they let you pass it. You have to get every head turn, finger position on the levers, even so far as using your right foot to raise the kick stand, or they don't let you pass. The motor skills are the easy part!!

Sounds tough. I think it's pretty easy here in the states comparatively. I've had the motercycle endorsement since I was a teenager so have never had to take the test since then and do not currently (and have not for years) own a motorcycle.

Good Luck!

I got my motorcycle endorsement in the States in '77. The test took less than five minutes and was little more than just going through the gears around a parking lot, doing some random sized figure-8's and stopping. I've used a bike as my main means of transportation ever since, riding in 24 different countries on three continents. I love it!

For the Japanese test, the figure-8 loop is a strip one meter wide and eleven meters diameter. Go outside the one meter strip and fail... The slalom course has to be done in eight seconds, again keeping within a one meter path. Riding on a .3 meter board for 15 meters. Thank God it's not up in the air!

There have been rumors of the suit by series' end. It has already made an appearance. Will he wear it?

I'm willing for a compromise-- bring back Kristin Kreuk, put her in the tights, and they can keep the flights.
