I did learn quite a bit, it helped that all of the range work was in the rain. FUN

I got failed on my first time around in the MSF class cause I rode a wheelie on the little Suzuki DR 350 they put me on. They made me pay the class fee again too.

Good for you...now don't forget everything you learned & take it easy on the road. Back in mid-70's I rode for close to 2-yrs w/o endorsement & got tired of worrying...licensed since then in multiple states.

That sucks, we had one kid that kept asking the instructor to teach him how yup ride one. He said that if his tires came off the ground while still upright he would be asked to leave.

I've had mine since 2008. I started riding in about 1992.

Congratulations. Good move taking the course.

I have had my motorcycle endorsement on my license since 1969.

Got mine when I turned 16, good for up to 150cc (it was the rule here). When I turned 18 I went and got the big bike license. It's so easy to do I don't know why so many people don't have it.

Got mine when I started riding many years ago. IMHO, if you can't ride well enough to pass the test, you probably should not be riding. It justs asks you to do the things you do every day to keep yourself and others safe. Never understood why people won't go get it and get it over with and be legal...Yeah I know, it's that rebellious biker thing right?

As of Sept. '09, in Texas, an approved basic rider course is required in order to apply and test for the motorcycle endorsement.
