Those of you who've obtained a motorcycle license, what do y'all do? Just take a class, pass a written/driving/visual test, and pick up your license? The majority of people don't get insurance for a bike, right? Are the tests typically done at the DPS/DMV like a driver's license, or do y'all know if classes are offered, like weekend classes?

Well what I've gathered from various websites including dmv.org is:
1. A class is optional, up to you. 2. You pay various fees, including one for taking the test at a DMV. 3. Having insurance is the law, but if you don't get caught no one will know. 4. Motorcycle insurance is expensive, and it's not like it exactly protects you from dying going high speeds. |

Says who? I wasn't required to show insurance when I got my driver's license. The state insured me for something like thirty days. That and I have regular insurance, but there's absolutely no reason I would need to have insurance for a bike I don't have or a license I haven't yet attained. "Hey State Farm, I need motorcycle insurance!" "Oh, cool! I didn't know you got a bike!" "Well, I don't have one yet, but I'm thinking about getting one, I figured I'd insure myself just in case I get that bike in about six months!" |
