Default should i get a motorcycle license?

i never driven a bike before but i am thinking about getting a license just because. heck, i might even get a bike to take to school since parking is a bitch.

anybody got one? or anybody with experience?

been riding since i was 9 (now 33)

just bought me a bike w/ an inheritence

it's a honda 954rr....WAY too much bike, but i don't care :fawk:

my advice if you have never had one is to take the MSF course FIRST http://www.msf-usa.org/ some states it is REQUIRED

this will give you a VERY good basis for how to handle yourself & help you decide what type bike (cruser, crotch rocket, etc.) you want

also, you don't have to worry about tearing yours up..they provide a bike w/ the course fee (~$150)

:dunno: I have my motorcycle license. Here in Va all we have to do is go to the DMV and ride around a little coarse that they have and take a test that only has 10 questions. I quit riding my bike on the road though to many damn idiots on the road that for some reason can`t see a bike coming. But its ok because now I have made it strictly a drag bike so I still fun on it. Oh yeah my bike is a 96 cbr 600 f3 with a built motor.
