They're offering a 3-day weekend course or a 5-day weekday course in my city from May through to August, which includes classroom instruction and they supply bikes and take you out to a parking lot to teach you better riding techniques and how to deal with different situations. After that I think I'll go take the road test for my license.
I think it'll be the end of April or the beginning of May before I'll get to start ridiing. There's still a lot of gravel on the roads, and ice in some areas. On top of that, there was a lot of freezing and thawing between January and now so there are huge potholes EVERYWHERE. But as soon as riding season comes along the price of bikes is going to jump so I'm glad I got mine now. I also have some time now to study up and learn more about my bike before I hop on it!
Lindsey, you may want to check about this course and how it is accepted by your licensing authority. It sounds like the same one that I took. The written test we took for the course was almost identical to the test that I had to take to get my license, and the riding portion of the course counted for my driving test for our Department of Public Safety. I took the course on a weekend and the next day, Monday, took the written test for DPS and I had my motorcycle license. It was so easy, and the course was great. I had been riding a bit around our neighborhood to get used to the bike, but all they required for the course was that you were able to ride a bicycle, they taught you how to ride a motorcycle. It was a great course!! The easiest way to get your license, and really helped with your confidence riding. So glad you have the opportunity to take it where you are.
