Re: "the complete stop" 

You could do the old stunt of NOT putting your feet down and using the
sidestand instead  :-)

The test in Virginia was worse than a joke. It was a rip-off. It consisted
of having a very prim and proper young woman (who obviously never would
ride  on 'one of those' ) stand on the sidewalk outside the building and
watch while two of us : got on our bikes, started them, rode around the outer
perimeter of a very small (but full) parking lot, parked the bikes, shut down,
and dismounted.  For this the charge was $ 9.  I suppose the passing 
criteria was that the applicant not fall down while being observed :-$

There is a point to be observed here. If riders can be licensed without
any real demonstration of skill or sense on something which everyone
'knows' to be so dangerous, just think about how little training/testing
the automobile driver gets away with.

From the paranoid defensive driver's saddle of:
