Back in the day (many years ago) when I got my motorcycle permit, we simply paid our $7 and got our permit.
These days, it's $10 and you have to take a knowledge test - which I think is a great idea - since most people that haven't ridden don't know how to stop a bike, and don't know how to turn a bike.
Unfortunately, not all questions on the test appear to help the rider become any better by knowing the answers.
Although - my favorite is the 1st... "if most acciendents occur under 30mph, what should you do?"... statistically speaking... ride over 30mph, and you'll be fine! lol...
