Default Safety Course Before Purchase.

I've heard many say that rider training is needed with the new motorcyclist. I personally feel that the DMV should have a more advanced auto driver training course along with motorcycle training courses. The rider could go to a private entity or the DMV for the course. We have motorcycle endorsements in florida. But a lot of older riders haven't taken the course. Do you think it should be mandatory to take a safety course before the purchase of a motorcycle ?

Who needs one if they've been reading your posts. Are you going to be taking one before you buy a motorcycle?

Thank you for asking. I've already taken the endorsement course. But Im always willing to learn more. And i resent anyone calling me a troll. Everyone has the right to post what they like within the guidelines o the forum. If you don't like the thread, why bother ? Has it ever occurred to you that there might be others that would be interested and with everyone riping the thread apart, do you think there going to post ? Seems to me you trash every thread you can that you don't like. Have some respect.
