Default noobie motorcycle question

heyy i posted in bike talk but i thought id post here also to be more location specific so....

I was thinking about garaging my s and picking up a bike. I was wondering how the point system works for bikes. Do points from cars carry over? any input would be appreciated. Also, what is a good beginners bike? any advice?

thank you hello.gif

Depends on the coverage and who is being covered.

Your driver's license and motorcycle license is the same number.

chances are that if you have a crappy driving record (or credit for that matter) you will either:

1. Have VERY VERY expensive motorcycle insurance
2. Companies will not even take your business for a policy
