[QUOTE="ClassicBiker, post: 129960, member: 1632"] Michigan isn't much different. 40 years ago it was totally abysmal though. At 16 years old right after I had completed my driver's ed through my high school and the mandatory 30 day learner permit I went for my license exam for my car license. I took the written test and road exam and passed and told the examiner I wanted my motorcycle license. My father and I had trailered a Yamaha 125 to the exam so in the parking lot I did a couple of circles clockwise and counter clockwise, an "emergency stop", and showed the examiner I knew where the brakes, turn signals, and horn where. That was it, the examiner didn't even know how to ride a motorcycle. Now driver's ed is only done privately, not through the schools. Rider's training is done through the community college in the spring semester only, if they offer it at all. That or again you have to find it privately. So at least there is some training. But there needs to be an acceptable medium between total apathy and total obstruction. [/QUOTE]
