[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't want to sidetrack OP's question but I have a question... If you don't have one but want to get one, how do I pass the driving test? Don't I need one to take the test/get license? [/quote]
In Virginia, accredited riding courses provide the bikes and finish up with a written and practical exam.  If you pass, you are eligible for a motorcycle endorsement on your DL.  I don't know about other states, but I'd be surprised if it weren't the same in most jurisdictions that require a motorcycle course at all.

Keep in mind that the classes, while useful, are only the beginning of learning how to safely operate a motorcycle in traffic.  Throughout the course I took, the instructors repeatedly stressed that just because we were getting the letter "M" embossed on our licenses, that didn't mean it was a good idea to saddle up and hit the freeway the next day.  They strongly recommended starting slow, with short rides around the neighborhood building up to longer and faster rides over time (they also - very conveniently :mrgreen:  - offered follow up classes to go over more advanced riding concepts).
