Default Got the permit

I'm a Long time reader of this forum, posted only a few times. I've been thinking about getting into motorcycle riding for a year now. Finally went doewn to the dmv office today and pasted the writtern test. I got two answers wrong. That's o.k, I wasn't looking to ace it, I just wanted to past with a good score. Now at least I can say I have a motorcycle permit. Out in the car I stared at the permit for 5 minutes couldn't believe it. Have to wait another four months until the snow melts, then I'll take ther riders edge course.

Welcome from Colorado!

I too spent a lot of time reading posts on this forum before I bought a bike. Everyone here was more than helpful. I agree with Mac11...take the beginner's course. I did and it really was a big help.

Stay safe.
