Getting Licensed

My Wife and daughter are claiming their right to pilot the Spyder. Trouble (or good thing) is. Neither has their liccene. In WV if you take the test on the Spyder, that does not qualify you for a two wheeler. Neither has driven a two wheeler and it may take a fare bit of practice to pass the test. I took the bike test in the early 60s and don't even remember how hard it was. If they want to drive the Spyder now, then test on it. But I have a 650 Samari that they could easily handle. I guess just take them to the parking lot with the 650 and see. :yikes:

If they just want to take the front seat on the Spyder; just train and test them on it!! :2thumbs:

Enroll them in an MSF class it will be worth it.

Tough one..!!

if they can test on the spyder, and have no interest in two wheels, then they could train on it. Many places don't have that luxury and you do have to test on a two wheeler. Nevertheless, taking a course can help both with the dmv and insurance companies....good luck with that...:thumbup:

Good idea on the class. Now just have to find a good one.

test

West Virginia has the "trike only" test.
At least that is what my license says.

IMO it doesn't hurt to have some experience on two wheels before riding on three wheels. It will give them a better perspective.

Second on taking a class if they can handle a two wheeler or even just for the knowledge of motorcycling, if they can not.
I see no problem with getting three wheel only endorsement if that is all you are going to ride. No class, get out the owners manual, at least my 2010RT had a great section on this.
Good luck and skill to all.
