How do I get a motorcycle license?

Question

Does anyone know what you have to do in NC?

Answer 1

go to dmv with your birth certificate and plunk down your money and take the writen test. that will get you on it and you'll be riding :)

Answer 2

Though it is not required, it is STRONGLY adviced that you take a motorcycle training/saftey course. A lot of dealreships offer them now, the two I know of are the Harley Davidson dealership just outside of Greensboro and the Suzuki dealership between Durham and Raleigh. You can Google/Yahoo search "motorcycle saftey courses" to get a general idea or search your favorite motorcycle brand and see if they have links to local courses.

Next, PRACTICE! For beginners it is recommended that your first bike be on the small side, a 600 or 750 model, and that you get A GOOD HELMET!!! Also, similar to learning to drive a car, where you have to have someone in the car with you, it is requested that you practice with another licenced motorcycle driver. If you can't do that, don't take the major highways or busy roads as any accident (gods forbid they happen) will be your fault as you are the unlicenced driver in the incident.

Finally, once you feel comfortable, take the test at the DMV.

Good luck fellow cyclist!!

Answer 3

Look for classes that offer motorcycle training. A lot of times the Insurance company gives you a discount for taking the class.
the one im going to be taking is from two wheel safety training. its 150 if your under 21 and about 230 over 21. just do a search for motorcycle training wherever you live.
