+1. I can't say I'm ATGATT, but almost.

As for not wearing the full face.... Wait until a june bug or rock from a tire tries to occupy the same space as you at 70+ mph. As for the claustrophobia, try focusing on something further away and/or wear the helmet around the house to get used to it. I feel naked without it.

Amen to that. I am ATGATT so even riding in jeans now feels like I'm exposed. Even when it's 95 degrees outside I'm covered head to toe.

According to the state's website you can get a learner's permit for a Class M license. However it may only be for 15-16 year olds.

When I got my bike I started by riding around the block a while then a few short rides. Then took the safety course. Took my certificate from the safety course and got my Class M license.

The safety course is very good...although I think you do need some minimum experience first even though the seem to advertise the course for someone that has never set on one...

I tried this when i was 16 (4 years ago) And the lady said no permit. I took the written test and passed, just never had a bike small enough for me to take the driving portion of the test with.

In Memphis my driving test consisted of one loop around the parking lot

It's not like they are going to hop on the back with u
