RE: Florida sticks it to bikers again
not having read every post here. so one who has a motorcycle endorsment on their licence already and when it is time to renew their licence, what happens then, are they grandfather'd in? do they need to take the class to get your license renewed?

You'll have to look at Florida's specifics for the answer. Most states grandfather the endorsement. A lot of the flack surrounding the controversy is way too many single-vehicle motorcycle accidents from those with 6 months or less riding experience. Regardless if it's a squidlet on a sportbike or an empty-nester on a touring.

They will be grandfathered in, just like when FL started the "M" endorsement in the early 80's.

You can register your new bike with a learner's permit, but when you renew the registration, you must have the \\;full endorsement.

I have not asked about the rentals, but I will.

The biggest issue that I have is the lack of stardarized pricing. I am hearing (unconfirmed) that prices can vary from Free (Military, on base) to as high as $500 and all stops in between. If it is mandated by the State, then the State should set a Maximum price.
