Cheech Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 Temps you can't ride at night, no passengers, must have a helmet, and can't ride on busy roads.License when I got it you had to wear a helmet for the first year.Can't ride on busy roads translates to "any divided highway", according to the Worthington PD that I asked when I got popped for a temps violation. If it's got a division (median, concrete rail, whatever), you can't be on it. Traffic doesn't play into it at all.Also, if you have temps, stay the hell out of Worthington.

Cheech Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 Out of curiosity, how'd you get caught?Friday night, riding back from Flannagan's Dublin with my roomie on his Blackbird. Decided to take 161 all the way through Worthington to Sharon Woods, since that keeps me off 270. At around 161/315, pass by a cop clocking, we're both doing the speed limit, he comes out anyway. Runs our tags and pulls me over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get popped on a 2 lane road if traffic is "congested"... at the officer's discretion of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warlock Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 Good advice here. Seriously, take the MSF. And as you progress take the others. I've been riding 40 years and still learn from other riders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TenTwelve Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 I'd still recommend a class to someone even if they are a seasoned rider. You don't have to worry about the "test" at the BMV and maybe you'll learn to perfect something you already know. Also, you can make new friends. Or if you're like me, you can start smoking again after having quit for 3.5 years because one of the instructors was pissing you off so much. Only pain about the class is that it takes so long to get into and you may have to take time off work because of the hours.There was a guy in my class who had been riding for 15 years on temps and finally decided to take the class and get a real license.
