You've bought your first motorcycle and you're eager to get out on the road. First, though, you must get some type of motorcycle certification from your state. Generally, there are two levels of motorcycle certification.

1. Motorcycle Learner's Permit: The permit is similar to a driver's permit that you receive before getting your license.

   For example, you must demonstrate your ability to smoothly start, stop and turn. Also, you'll be required to perform more advanced maneuvers such as quick stops, S-turns, U-turns, and sharp turns to avoid obstacles. None of these skills is extremely difficult, but each takes time to master....
