There is nothing like driving down the highway on motorcycle feeling the wind blowing around you. If you just read that sentence, you are likely wondering how to get your motorcycle permit.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • social security card
  • proof of address
  • parents signature if under 18
  • current class c drivers license
  1. Step 1

    ELIGIBILITY

    Unfortunately, you know your freedom on this one is a bit limited. Legally, you have to have another motorcyclist who is at least 21 years old and has a current legal motorcycle license riding along side you on another motorcycle within easy visual distance the whole time. Similar to when you are learning to drive a car.

  2. Step 2

    You have to be at least 16 years old and already have a class c drivers license in Oregon.

  3. Step 3

    You cannot have had your license suspended, or taken away for any legal reason.

  4. Step 4

    APPLICATION

    Download a drivers license application or go to your nearest DMV and get a drivers license ID application. While filling it out, bear in mind that if any of your health-related questions are marked with a yes, you cannot get a motorcycle instruction permit. That is unless your medical condition does not affect your ability to drive in a safe way.

  5. Step 5

    Be aware the DMV may require you to pass a test to prove any medical questions you marked will not affect your driving ability. This applies to vision, etc.

  6. Step 6

    Bring in proof of your identity. Birth records (birth certificate), social security card, proof of address (mail with your name on it-a school report card, for example), and your parents signature unless you are an emancipated minor.

    The cost for a motorcycle permit is $22.50 and is good for one year.

Tips & Warnings
  • Please wear a helmet even if you feel less cool- it really could save your life
