You should be trained before handeling the bikes. Especially with the electric or gas mini choppers. It should be certified t ride on the public places.

I respectfully disagree with “leather is the best”. I just don’t think the research agrees.

In many states, passing the MSF course is a substitute for the written & road test at your DMV. Just show up with the course completion card and get your license.

The beginners course just assumes you can ride a bicycle, nothing more. A great way to expose yourself to a motorcycle without much investment. Check out the http://www.msf-usa.org for more information on a course near you plus some online exercises. Passing the course sometimes gets you a discount on your insurance.

Yes a motorcycle can save money, but don’t forget the initial cost of the motorcycle, insurance, maintenance (tires wear out much faster on motorcycles), and gear. Even with a used entry-level motorcycle (a Susuki SV650 or Triumph Bonneville are good), you are talking in the thousands of dollars. How much gas does that buy?

Remember, learning to brake is just as important as learning how to go.
It’s easy to twist the throttle and go 100mph, but can you stop safely and in time? Take the MSF course and learn the essential skills. You’ll be a better rider for it. Don’t forget your helmet and fasten it properly as well.
See you on the road………

To all who are skiddish: take the MSR classes. They’re free in Pennsylvania. They really do make it easy to learn with no added pressure.

@KrnSidez: take the class. There were guys who had ridden for 30 years (w/o license) who were taking it just so they would have a legit Class-M endorsement. They all reported that even for them, it was worthwhile.
