Huh? the link you sent says this. How do I obtain Motorcycle License or Endorsement? Top Contact a driver's license examination station to make an appointment for the on-cycle examination. No fee is charged for this test. The examination stations are located in the back of the Motorcycle Operators Manual. You must bring a street legal motorcycle to the examination site and you must wear a helmet and eye protection during the test. After you have passed the On-Cycle Test, the examiner will fill out and validate the blue copy of the driving permit from your packet. The blue permit, red permit, and your drivers license (if you have one) must be presented to the license agency to receive your motorcycle license or to add a motorcycle endorsement to your current valid license. A fee is charged for issuing this new license. If you are 16 or 17 years old, you must show proof of completing all GDL requirements and a motorcycle safety course before you are eligible to take the On-Cycle Test, to obtain a motorcycle license or endorsement. If you are 18 years old or above, you are not required to complete either course to take the On-Cycle Test. However, completion of the motorcycle course will help provide you with the skills to pass the test You wouldn't think they would say the "however" part if the course got u out of taking the test at the DMV?
