There was a fellow a few years back who took his on a 250 Bultaco trials bike (street legal).
He had ridden trials for years and finally decided to get his license for the street. The examiner asked him to pull forward and stop keeping his feet on the pegs as long as he could before dropping a foot to the ground. Now remember here......he rode trials and those guys can balance a bike then walk around it never touching the ground. He came to a stop, balanced the bike and just sat there with his feet on the pegs at a dead stop.
The examiner shook his head and then asked him to make a right turn, follow the lines through the slalom, follow the 180 degree curve and return to him. John (yes that's his real name) asked non chalantly "One wheel or two?" The cop sarcastically said "One." John complied by following the instructions while doing a wheelie. Upon stopping and holding the bike once again with feet up the cop asked if he ever rode before and John explained that he rode trials competitions.
The cop tossed his pencil in the air and said "Jesus H Christ.....at least I'm not going nuts!" and proceeded to grant John a pass for the test.
How do I know this? We trailered the bike to the test center and I was driving the pickup truck.
