In Florida you are required to take the beginner's motorcycle safety class to get your motorcycle endorsement. The alternative is to take a rather nasty written test followed by a riding test on a closed course.
Some insurers require the motorcycle safety course as well. I hadn't ridden in some years, and the course was a good refresher and practice on a closed course. It's amazing how much you forget in ten years.... I'm going back for the advanced rider course this summer if I can find the time. Once you have at least 1,000 miles under your belt you can take it. It's nice, as you do the course on your own bike. Dan --- Douglas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Robert you didn't mention if you have experience > riding!
