Familiarize Yourself

There is always a first time for everything. The sooner you get your hands on a motorcycle the quicker you’ll understand its riding technicalities, but do it responsibly. For this major step, you must have someone experienced to guide and explain the features and functions of each motorcycle part. 

Taking a course from professional trainers is the safest way to go. You’ll be taught everything there is to know about your local laws so you don’t get into trouble while being on the road.

Get a Permit If Needed

In some cases obtaining a permit is a prerequisite before getting a motorcycle license. In Florida, a permit is necessary if you’re under the age of 18 and want to get a motorcycle-only license. However, a permit is not necessary if you’re over 18, but you have to pass the standard Class E license test and also take the Basic Rider Course.

A motorcycle endorsement is the only thing needed if you already have a valid Florida driver’s license. Make sure to get a clear understanding of your state laws and follow all rules and regulations required.
