Answer by Firecracker .
You need a motorcycle license, or at least a learner’s permit.
You don’t need to wear the silly suit, but protective clothing is a good idea.

In order to legally drive a motorcycle you must either have a motorcycle permit, or a motorcycle license which is an extension to a regular operators license(similar to a commercial license but for motorcycles obviously). There are two ways to obtain a license:

1) Take learners course that will give you an endorsement which you bring to the DMV and they will add a motorcycle license to your operators license. You have to pass the class of course, similar to a regular drivers ed course. MSF(Motorcycle Safety Foundation) hosts courses all across the country and their endorsements are accepted in every state.

2) Acquire a permit from your DMV. You have to pass a written test in order to be issued the permit. They will write you in for a date to be road tested(in a parking lot). Go back on your date, pass, get your license.
