Personally, I would suggest taking the motorcycle safety course. They provide the bikes, you get a discount on your motorcycle insurance, and you'll likely be a much safer rider. I took it several years ago and haven't looked back!

I agree also! I took the course a few years ago also and it was great!

I'm sorry this wasn't exactly what you were looking for, but I can't stress the value of the course enough. I've seen enough dangerous riders out there to make me stress the lessons they teach you. Plus, you've been riding all weekend with them and you get multiple attempts if they're lenient, versus just going on and trying the test at a DMV and hoping you pass it the first try. The super tight turning they make you do definitely takes some practice.
