Obtaining Motorcycle License In Indiana.?
November 11th, 2009 | 
Author: I am 18 years old, and was looking to get my motorcycle license. In the hand book it mentions you have to be enrolled in a motorcycle safety class to get your permit. I was wondering if it was necessary to take the class or not to get you license. thanks

The Indiana DMV site says you can “either” take the road test like you would for a car license OR complete a motorcycle safety course.http://www.dmv.org/
yes, you must take the class. that’s why it says you “have to” be enrolled.
who cares…. take the class… the money is well worth it considering the price of a mistake…
Take the ABATE riding school. It will be worth it.
In Texas we have a choice of either taking a safety course, or just taking the motorcycle driving test. If you take the course and pass you don’t have to take the test. I took the test instead of the course, it was cheaper. $185.00 for the course, but the test was a hassle, you have to bring someone with a car with you, the person you bring has the tester from the dmv in their car, they follow you around while you ride your bike.
