Default Question for people who ride motorcycles?

Hello,

I wanna learn but I wear glasses and I've heard that you can't get a motorcycle license if you need glasses. Is that true???

that is not true at all. Well im very far from where you are. In Canada, you can always get the license, the only problem is when your wearing your helmet (full) and you breath hard, it will fog up fast. If you got good glasses with anti-fog coating then you should be fine. Because you wear glasses, if you decide o get a bike, purchase a 3/4 helmet where th efront lifts off for easy access to your glasses. I wear glasses myself and ride with a FULL helmet which goes over the head.

Heres what I found:

By law, you must be able to read, with glasses or contact lenses if necessary, a car number plate in good light at 20.5 metres (67 feet) or 20 metres (65 feet) where narrower characters (50mm wide) are displayed

Take a safety course. Even after that spend a month or two on side roads only. Keep the shiny side up! :cheers:

I know someone who rides with his poindexters all the time. he puts his arai on and then puts the glasses on after through the visor.
