What Would a Trike Endorsement Course Look Like

[kyledye]

Would a trike/Spyder endorsement course have pretty much the same layout as a motorcyclce course?

I think I'm getting this figured out on how to get my Spyder. Prior to purchase, take the written exam and get the permit. Get comfortable and spend some extra time setting up some small cones in a weekend parking lot (There are lots of those available.) practicing for the riding test. (After I took the MSF to get my motorcycle endorsement I spen extra time practicing low speed maneuvers.)

I assume the insurance riding on the permit and prior to the endorsement will cost me my first born child. I wish I could pay cash for my Spyder but that's not possible.

I really enjoy my FJR and the motorcycles I've ridden; however, I think the Spyder just might be my next ride. I hope all these hoops will be worth it.

Does your state require separate trike endorsement if you have MC license already??Most states classify Spyder as a motorcycle and if you have MC license you are good to go.If you dont have MC license(2 wheels) then you can test for trike or side car only endorsement(you are then restricted to these two units only).Sounds like you have MC license already......Are you sure you are not good to go now???:hun:
MC license??

Ah yes, the coveted WA state Trike Endorsement

welcome:2thumbs: on your recent purchase. What I am experiencing ( due to rural living in WA state plus the states requirement for special trike endorsement and then not having a system in place). Also, I have NO experience with 2 wheel driving or endorsement. My closest testing office has not been able to schedule driving test..they have scheduled, cancelled several hours later, apparently scheduled again (all I got was a phone message at 4:30 p.m. saying call immediately we can schedule tomorrow (Sat.)...I was finding the process frustrating to say the least. That couple with my desire to gain ryding skills I called Evergreen Motorcycle Safety Training 1-800-521-0778 and yelled HELP. Chris and Delores are incredibly helpful. First found me a class on the east side (you will have alot more to choose from) end of July in Spokane..then found an opening for this weekend in Yakima. I jumped on it. Wow, nice ryde to Yakima over Blewett...(even suppose to have sunshine this weekend-believe that when I experience it!!!). Successfully complete the course and I have my endorsement. Great weekend of Spyder Ryding, learning new skills for ryding safely...and hopefully new friends. Can't get any better. the $125 investment? For me definitely a wise investment..heck the frustration saved makes it almost worth it.
NOW onto insurance....contact Marc Fischer 1-877-537-2555...found him recommended here on Spyderlovers.com...he saved me several hundred $$ (annual premium) and I am a shopper {called 'em all!!!} Even tho he is in AZ he is licensed to write policies in WA state. Great service also. Will give a report here after this weekend. Tomorrow start shining up the Spyder and packing the bags for the 3+ hour trip to Yakima and great Spyder training (+ the holy grail of endorsements required by our state!!!)

As far as skills courses go, the one in the Spyder manual is very good. It is in the Owners Guide. There is a link on the SpyderLovers home page. There are also videos of the BRP safety DVD, that comes with the Spyder, available online. Many of us ran the skills course in parking lots before we hit the road in earnest.

There's a great Trike & Hack course in Hood River, OR - no one had ever seen a Spyder before mine tho....

The course for trikes is essentially the same as it is for motorcycles except that they space the cones a little wider. It's very easy, I just did it in May. You can go to the DOL and pick up a booklet for trike testing and it will show you the layout of the course. You may aso be able to find it online, good luck.
