ouch. I got my license years ago...from memory was about $140??
I remember the L part just consisted of theory, then some practical, ending in riding around a large 0 shape keeping it in correct gear (2nd for corners, 3rd on straights) and finishing with your left foot on the ground in neutral.
Second lesson for the P's I remember riding down there in the morning, and stopping at a set of lights on the way. Some guy pulled up next to me on a big bore race honda, and screamed off the lights...dragged me on my 250cc 2stroke. Turns out it was my instructor for the day Did the tests they put u through and you had to pass 4 of the 8 challenges AND the last one where you ride up to 40km/h? and then shove the brakes on when the guy throws his arm up. Only reason I failed a few (i passed overall)was because I was too damn tall for the bike and couldnt maneuver the really tight bends.
Only one kid failed, and he basically cracked the shits. Blamed his parents for not letting him get a motorbike to practice on before going for his Ps. One guy tried to do the test on his CBR250, and couldnt do the slow speed turns as he found out, quickly swapped to the bikes they offer and passed as well.
