how can i find classes to train to ride a motor bikes?

Answer 1

Call your local Department of Motor Vehicle.

In Connecticut, you can go through the Community College System. It may be the same in other states but I'd try DMV first.

Answer 2

OK, so you can find a class from the replies above.

I guess you can already ride a bicycle? Well, it is a common assumption that a motorbike is the same but bigger. It isn't. To steer a motorcycle you use your strength less and use your weight to balance it more. A motorcycle tyre is wider, as you turn a corner, the point of contact between the tyre and the road changes and it almost steers itself around depending on how much you lean. As you get more practice you will find that steering very slightly in the opposite direction to the turn will put you on the correct edge of the tyre and the motorcycle will turn the way you want. This is called "counter-steering" and makes the whole thing much easier. enjoy.

IN florida The local community colleges have courses. But I agree about calling the department of motor vehicles .. Go to the web site. You may die before someone picks up ... I have a Harley and faced the same issue. I went to my local community college where I recieved a motorcycle license. It was like a 9 week course. How to drive in rain ... to wear a helmet or to not . all really stuff to make you a better driver.

Answer 4

Depends on where you are. In the U.S., I'd google on Motorcycle Safety Foundation. Harley also runs "Rider's Edge" training courses. I'd stay away from the Harley course, as there have been a couple of deaths in the training courses over the last few years, and I hear that one of the classes consists of going to a Harley dealership to pick out gear!

Answer 5

pretty much everystate has some kind of motorcycle training. I would check with the local dealership as well as the dmv. Keep in mind though that prices could vary greatly depending on who is offering the training. I know here in Ga. Harley's riders edge is 2x the price of the state run training.

Over the ankle shoes (boots or equivalent)
