I just got finished with my motorcycle courses approved by the DMV but what do I do now?
So I'm 17 years old and just finished the classes so the next step is taking teh DMV written test for motorcycles right? After that do i have to wait 6 months in order to drive on the freeway? Or can I drive on the freeway once I get the license because the bike shops are in other cities? I live in California and have already had by drivers license for a car for 5 months.
Added (1). If you could recommend a bike that would be awesome I practiced on the 250cc honda rebels in the classes and were relatively easy to control and light for me. I was checking out some 500 cc bikes and 300cc bikes which one should I be looking at?
You go to the DMV, pass the written test, get a paper that says you have a motorcycle *permit*. Restrictions: solo, daytime, no freeways -- for six months or your 18th birthday, whichever comes first. Then back to the DMV and swap it for your license, no restrictions.
Bike? What do you want -- fun or transportation? I ride strictly for transportation, now have a 65mph Vespa 150, about 80% city, 20% freeway around Los Angeles, take trips on the Interstates to the Mojave and to the Sierras. 250cc is capable of any road, anything bigger is for more fun and/or more comfort.
If you want cruiser, like the Rebel, Honda Yamaha and Suzuki have/had 250cc cruisers -- all 330 pounds, all good of 75+ mph. If you want a bike more, Suzuki's 652cc Big Single, S40, is just 50 pounds heavier and can do 85+ mph. All four Jap manufacturers had 250-300cc sporty bikes, all 85+ mph. Likewise have 200-250cc dual-sports that can do 75+ mph. If you are tall enough to be comfortable on a dual-sport, they are killer city bikes -- don't care if they drop, don't care about bad pavement, quick, agile.
- What happens if you don't get approved for a car loan after your purchase? I have bought a car two weeks ago and at the time we applied for 20k $ car loan, we deposited 8k and I was planning to deposit another 4k next week. Now we have received the letter( third party) that we're not approved for the car loan. Does that mean I have to return the car? If so why the Honda company (where we bought the car) didn't tell us anything before we receive the letter? What options do I have?
- I've financed a car and put 1,000 down, it's been 2 days and the dealer still Looking a for a bank but I've been approved already? So I've put 1,000 down for my car at Honda and everyday passes but still same response from the dealer "still working on a approval" but they have my deposit and they already approved me. Is this even legal, Can they hold my deposit and not give me the car. Would I lose my deposit if I'm not approved?
- I'm nervous that I won't get approved again after 30 day loan expired? My score had dropped from 700 to 645 sadly. One dealer found me financing (Honda dealership) but the loan expired due to 30days passing.im going again to hopefully get approved again. Will it work with my score lowered to 645? Or should I try a few more places for 1st time car buyer loans by myself?
- I have a 2015 Honda rancher that had a crack in the air box. It got so much dirt through the air filter it got into my piston. So it now Burns oil and I was wonder will it ever stop smoking. I know I have to rebuild the engin so don't even say it. And how long will it take before it losses power.
