In the state of Washington, you're not required to carry insurance on your motorcycle. *sigh*

Oh I'd totally donate $20 toward the cause but it's like over $300 here...robbery, and higher yearly registration fees than cars. WTF nj
Yeah, they aren't that sadistic lolOh my lord. That is outrageous... You're still allowed to take a test for the license without the BRC, right?
Forcing the student to take the course on their own, larger bike is the wrong way. Providing one would be prohibitively expensive, unless the course carried huge fees and insurance.
I would be for getting a junior license that limits the bike somehow (power, size), or has other limitations (time of day, no violations) for a period of time.
I don't think mentioned previously, BUT the mandatory class in Florida (I think its two full days) is NOT put on by the state, but by private companies. Harley Davidson is one of the largest "instructors" down here".
Once they have their certificate, they go to the D/L office and get their endorcement added to their licence.
For down here at least, the state isn't making anything to speak of, money wise.
Yeah, both my sisters had gotten their M endorsements through the BRC community college near my house and I believe it used to be free but by the time I was ready... no free course (or any course) anymore.That is likely the same in most states. My state (Virginia) is the same way. The class is mandatory if you are under age 18, over 18 and you have to pass the DMV motorcycle road test as well as the standard M-class license test. The class is put on by private individuals, often retired riders who are certified instructors. The usually put the classes on at local community college parking lots.

Here it's take the test, follow some 16 yr old kid around the block, the "cop" gets out and says "oh you're still here?" And signs the slip you then go and pay 25$ for an endorsement.
You say Harley puts on the class where your from? I wish they would here because I get tired of seeing backwards hats and skull face bandanas.but in the end I don't wish we had a law making them wear helmets, I just ask myself if I reckon that backwards hat and skull faced bandana will keep it all together atleast? I'm which case I reply "probably not"
Ya, I'd love it if our state covered most of the cost though the ERC (or BRC2) is more reasonably priced...the BRC is digustingly expensive.I've taken my ERC and SBRC. But your right they arnt cheap, the army paid for mine. Got a lot of good things out of it. But I'm just saying people will do what they want regardless, I have always wore a helmet, but never thought of anything else (besides boots) untill I bought the 9 then it was armored hoodie and gloves. Just my .02
Ya, my gear's incomplete as I still wear cross training sneakers and just long cargo pants (or jeans rarely) :spank:Yes because chances are and in my case it may hold true, I could wear all the gear in the world which is great because one day I may eat it. But you can be going through a green light with a bright neon flashing body suit that emits a siren that says "DONT HIT ME" and little miss 20 year old driving her daddies Mercedes benz SUV is talking on a cell phone, eating, and doing her make up hits you from the side at 50-60mph your survivability may go up a few % points for the gear, but how do you think it will really turn out?
