Before you take the course, study the book. It is on their site.

Then, check your local driving laws. In Washington, a learners permit for a motorcycle allows you to ride alone on the street from sun-up to sun-down. Cool! I've heard some states require an observer on another bike or car. If your state allows it, practice riding around your neighborhood. and go practice at the MSF course when they're not using it.

Here, at South Seattle Community College, they have a double track. They cone it off Friday through Sunday so you can practice when they aren't using it or if they are using just one course, you can use the other one (if you ask).

yes, i believe local law requires me to ride between sun up to sun down with a helmet and no passengers. because i am already a licensed cager i do not require another rider with me. however i still need a bike  :embarassed:

i am making my way through the book. and then ill take the quiz online too. also watching the videos
