California motorcycle "knowledge" test not valid and not reliable

[Randy B]

If I recall I only had to do the written portion when I moved here from Illinois in 2008 because I had already had an active endorsement from another state.
I failed the written test the first time I took it because it had all sorts of wording that I had never heard before about counter steering and such. To me it was all intuitive on how to control the bike and I had never heard these terms before in relation to riding.
