How to Apply for a Motorcycle Learner's Permit in New Hampshire
Getting out on the open road on a motorcycle is something many only dream about. The Bureau of Driver Licensing at the New Hampshire Department of Motor Vehicles offers two methods for getting your motorcycle license and pursuing that dream. While some may prefer to follow the traditional learner's permit route, the Motorcycle Rider Education Program offers low-cost training courses and even provides the participants with motorcycles for the lessons. Those who successfully complete one of their courses receive waivers for the Department's riding test.
