Motorcycle driving test

The riding test is just that, a test. Be able to use that front brake as hard as you can and be able to navigate the cones. Practice, practice and practice some more. The motorcycle test is usually not as easy as the four wheelers is. Congrats to you for trying to get your license. I meet a lot of people who ride and don't have license.

Find where one of these classes are being offered and take it even if you are already set-up.

You might want to practice for the test. Some locations are easier than others. The tough parts of the test are on a down-hill slant in Mt. Healty and on an uphill slant in Sharonville. You could also draw the d*ck card as far as instructors.
The couse is a bypass to the test and you will be a much safer rider after going through it. .......and its only $25.

I would also like to point out that you don't need an endorsement to buy a bike. The motorcycle mortality rate has spiked in Ohio and it is attibuted to the old guys that can finally afford one and have no clue how to ride safely.
I cannot stress the value of the $25 for the class.
