Buttoning Up With A Motorcycle License

By Maria Long


The image of the knight or a cowboy on horseback is prevalent. It so prevalent that fantasies and westerns continue to permeate pop culture to this day. But horses replaced cars as the preferred means of transportation. But cars do not have the same effect a horse has, a car does not allow the hero to be silhouetted against the sun. But horses have no place on modern roads. To compromise, there is the motorcycle, a two wheeled and open vehicle that allows an individual to still use motorized wheels while also looking sick as hell. But operating one requires a license, or an endorsement. A motorcycle license Indiana is needed.

A motorcycle license is a lot like a normal license. It is a certification that a person is qualified to do an activity. People who drive vehicles of all types will need licenses. It should be noted the state in question does not have a separate license, but an endorsement on an existing one.

It is often said that people are different from each other. In the same vein, vehicles are different from each other, though not to the same extent as individuals. A car and a bike are different machines, distinct from each other. Consequently, the skills needed to operate them are distinct from each other as well.

The DMV, or the Department of Motor Vehicles, is where people get licenses. People go there to fill out forms, take tests, and wait in line. Once all that is done, an individual can be issued a license.

To qualify for accreditation, a person has to be of a certain age, sixteen in some places, seventeen in others. In some jurisdictions, the minimum age requirement is eighteen. Other than the age, there has to be a test that is taken, generally to make sure that someone is cognizant of traffic laws. Finally, there is a practical examination, where a person must prove their competence.

Now, getting a license is required because operating a car or a bike or a truck without one is illegal. Doing anything illegal can result in criminal prosecution, like jail time or a fine. It should also be noted that there are times that a person may have to produce proof of identity, and a license will be more than sufficient for those times.

Motorcycles are fast. Very fast. They are much smaller than cars, allowing them to weave in and out of traffic more effectively, provided the rider knows what they are doing. They are smaller than automobiles, with even the most compact hatchbacks still being significantly larger, and as such, are more easily stored.

Once a person gets accreditation, there are many types of bike to choose from. For the romantic, there is the scooter, bringing to mind many iconic scenes from romantic comedies of yesteryear. There are choppers, big machines with powerful engines. Then there are the sport bikes, motorbikes precision engineered for speed and performance, the kind that get raced on tracks.

Human beings have tremendous endurance. But society evolved and humans stopped needing to endure thanks to machines. But the users of those machines should be fully licensed.
