ILLINOIS HAS A PROBLEM WITH SYPDER

[pitmon]

They would not test me on the spyder, I had to take the test on a 2-wheeler, but that's ok now I can legally ride either one.

I found a DMV office that would test me

Thanks to all the responses. I will eventually take the a motorcycle safety course so I will be able to ride 2 wheelers as well, but for now all of these in the local area are booked till May and June.

I spoke with the DMV in Nashville, IL they have no problem testing me on the Spyder. So tomorrow I'll hookup the trailer and cruise over. It's only an hour away.:yes:

Husband and I discussed this issue at length back in 2007 when we ordered the Spyder. CA Motorcycle Safety course provides a 2-wheel cycle for the course, everybody learns with the same type of bike. We were concerned that although CA does not require a bike lic., if we drove through other states, we would have "issues" with the local law. Better to be safe, I took the course and have the "M" class lic. Up until the class, I had only rode dirt bikes, mopeds, etc. So the class was my first experience with street riding and the best $$ I ever spent. I really learned a lot more than just driving the bike.

same problem in connecticut. They will not test you on a spyder. sucks

Ontario is the same. Luckily I had my Motorcycle endorsement before I purchased the Spyder. They are thinking about trike "only" endorsements, but it is not yet in effect. (you never know how long that will take with out Parliment)
