Riding motorcycles at 14?
Check this out first as I make reference to it several times: http://www.dmv.org/al-alabama/motorcycle-license.php
Hi, I live in Alabama and recently discovered that you can obtain a "Motor Driven Cycle" license when you are only 14 with a lot of restrictions. I have looked at a few bikes and can find only 1-2 that meet the requirements that are not like tiny scooters. I know that's somewhat the point of the 200lb weight limit, so 14 years olds are not riding around Harleys, but I wanted a motorcycle style bike if possible (that isn't a dirtbike) with gears etc., not a big scooter fan. If someone could make a small list of bikes that meet the restrictions of the license it would be really appreciated. I found a couple of bikes that meet every requirement except the weight limit (is this a big deal? Not asking you to advocate breaking the law but would a cop really weigh your bike if an issue arose if it was a small bike and didn't look like a full size street bike?) bikes that I found are listed below, Thanks!
