Trike class?

[muonwhiz]

Have been looking for a trike class that will also qualify for getting license endorsement. I don't want to do the regular 2 wheel class and then have to switch back to my RT. I emailed the MSF about thisbut have received no reply. Any ideas out there? The Harley people I talked to don't have any ideas about this. Thanks

Muonwhiz, according to this list (don't remember wher I got It) the closest, and only current location in AZ, to Tuson is at Luke AFB in Phoenix. Info follows: Arizona Progressive School of Riding, 7424 North Homer Dr, Luke AFB, AZ 85309, (623) 975-6264. Since it appears the course is conducted on a military base, you'll have to give them a call to find out specifics. It may be open to military or military dependents only. I was stationed there from 1982-84 Good luck. Dale

Not sure about Arizona, but some states will let you take the riding part of the examination on the Spyder. Provided that someone with a license takes you to the facility, all you need to do is take the written part and then schedule for the riding part. My wife did the 2 wheel class and did not care for it. However, I did the 2 wheel MSF and although I knew that I was getting a :spyder2: before I did the course, learning on 2 wheels gave me a great experience.

Good luck!!!:thumbup:

When I was going to get my license, I knew you could take the road test on the Spyder. I e-mailed the company that taught a sidecar/trike course (and spoke to the owner via telephone), to ask if they would be able to accommodate my Spyder, and if I would be able to get a road test waiver card upon completion of the course. :clap:Fortunately all went well, and I became legal!!! Try doing an online search for motorcycle training (or a trike-sidecar ) course in your area, and call the company to see if they can help you. Good luck, and keep us updated!

I took the trike and hack class in Hood River, OR - while it was a MSF level class, there's no ability to get a motorcycle endorsement (up here) on any type of trike or hack. You must take the 2 wheel course. In Oregon, you can take the two day (weekend) course, and get your endorsement, when you pass the course.

I highly recommend taking the trike & hack course anyway. You will come away with a clear understanding of the Spyder's superiority.

Since you are in Az. there is a motorcycle group called Gold Wing Road Riders Association. They are locted in Phenix. They have trike classes all the time. You may have to join them, but it is only $55 for one year. Hope this helps.

I've taken the GWRRA trike class and I highly recommend it for both new and experienced :spyder2: ryders. In fact, when me and my wife took the course, most of the trikes were :spyder2:s. However, this is as an advance class, meaning that GWRRA will request that the rider have their "M" license, the course it not to obtain the state's "M" license or endorsement.
