1 check out local by-laws and restrictions for beginners license
2 buy safety equipment (helmet: brand new and fit to you, motorbike jacket, leggings, boots and armoured gloves)
3 buy your motorbike of the sort that you hope or wish to get a full license with, not exceeding the legal requirements of your license restrictions in cc's
4 ride for a year take a few lessons then take test when you feel ready
5 if you want a sports bike don't go over 600cc until you've ridden post-test for at least two years
6 expect to crash whether its your fault, inexperience, or someonelse's fault

make sure you know how to drive a manual transmission first.. then study and take the written test for a motorcycle license. you could take a class, but it costs a lot. you have 60 days depending on the state to take the driving test. so, get a bike and practice. if you know anyone with a dirtbike, it's a good start.. wear a helmet for your own sake. get a friend to teach you if you've never rode or take a class, i think they provide a bike for exams and it will lower the insurance.. i've been riding my whole life, defensive driving is the key.. always assume that you're invisible to all traffic.

Learn how to ride a bicycle. Take a course. Get a used motorcycle. Wear a helmet. Know that you will fall at some time.

Get trained properly, spend more then you can afford on leathers, helmet, gloves, boots etc. (More than the bike! you can get a new bike, but not a new body).
Assume EVERY time you go out, some tw@t in a car will try and kill you,and ride defensively and you will have a long and happy motorcycling life. ENJOY!!!

first thing I would suggest is taking a motorcycle safety course. In texas that will let you get your liscence without a riding test( so you don't need a bike first). then you can ride the bike you buy home. If you bought one from a dealer, some places they won't let you ride it without a liscense.( happened to my nephew, had to have the salesman ride it home)

- Actually getting a bike would be a good thing to start by doing.
- Next you wanna take the bike up this real steep slope
- then you get on it and ride it down
Listen to me dude I'm a pro. - It's a do or die life style

You need a provisional licence first then bike leathers, helmet and gloves. Then get a moped or small engined bike and most importantly get lessons and go for the bike test.
