Makes sense that we the ones who will actually be working with the new program will be the last to hear anything. Freakin Connecticut!

lived there for 9 years but did not get the roadster till we got to San Diego. As you know here you just need a drivers licence. I have a motorcycle one as well alway have. Curious though, if in a state requiring an endorsement or motorcycle license how would they deal with a CA driver with auto license only..??

As far as I know, as long as you are not a resident of that state and lawfully licensed in your state of residence, your CA license will suffice. If your legal state of residence does not require a specific endorsement the "visited" state will respect that.

PA 15-46-- "Motorcycles have two or three wheels, handlebars and a seat that is straddled. Autocycles have three wheels and are fully or partially enclosed, and have a steering wheel, foot pedals and seat belts. A person with an "M" endorsement may ride motorcycles with 2 or 3 wheels. A person who only wants to ride a three-wheeled motorcycle can take a three-wheeled motorcycle class, and have a restriction on his or her "M" endorsement. This will be designated as "M3". Autocycles do not require any endorsement. Both motorcycles and Autocycles will be registered with motorcycle plates. An example of a three-wheeled motorcycle is a Can-Am Spyder.
An example of an autocycle is a Polaris Slingshot. There are other makers of Autocycles,such as Elio, that do not yet have a manufacturer's license in CT"
