Step 1: Go to DMV, take written test, and get learner's permit.

Learner's permit = no freeways, no passengers, and no night time riding.

Step 2: Motorcycle school or behind the wheel test.

If under 21, you MUST take the motorcycle school.
If over 21, you pick one.

Motorcycle school
No more than $150 for under 21.
No more than $200 for over 21.
Class times and length depend on location.

Go to your nearest DMV and pick up the CALIFORNIA MOTORCYCLE HANDBOOK.
You'll need it to study for the written test.
www.dmv.ca.gov is where you'll find all your answers.

That's funny. I just signed up for the class today. 15 hours total. 5 hours in a classroom on saturday and 10 hours on the range the weekend after (5 hours on saturday and 5 hours on sunday).
Take the class, pass the class (waive the dmv driver's test), take the dmv written test, get the license.

The driving test is for those who are 21+ and don't want to take the classes.

If you are under 21, then you have no choice but to take the class to get a license.

I was told that in most classes you need to go to the dmv and get your permit (written test) beforehand.

The person I talked to said all I needed was a valid california driver's license. If you do not have a class C driver's license, you would have to get a learner's permit.

This pdf gives you the jist of what you need

i highly recommend anyone and everyone to take the basic MSF class first. I won't recommend riding around with just a permit if you have no motorcycle riding experience. I have taken the basic and the advance class. In the advance class, you do the same thing as the basic class but with your own bike. weaving throught the cones at a low speed is pretty tough on a sportbike.

i'll be taking the basic classes again a few time cause i got accepted as a instructor. i need to few extra hours of work on the weekend to pay for my track day fees and tires

take your time learning on a bike. put in tons of hours before you go "canyon running" and trying to race ferrari's on the canyons

the pic on the right is my track f4i (4 month of riding experience) and the pic on the left is my 05 kawi 636 ninja at 5 month of riding. I logged on about 20k miles on a bike last year(started april 2005).
