Learn How to Ride a Motorcycle in Minnesota

To get a license you can either apply at your local DMV office or pass all the necessary documents and test, or you can enroll at motorcycle riding schools approved by the Motorcycle safety Foundation. After you learn how to ride a motorcycle, you will be given a completion card that will waive your on-cycle and written test. You will then get a motorcycle endorsement.
