    Motorcycles, thanks in part to Hollywood movies, symbolize glamorous rebellion, ultimate freedom, and the hipster way of life. Even gas-pump-friendly mopeds and scooters, with the same two wheels and concept of freedom, are an economical yet fun way to get around.

    Motorcycles, mopeds, and scooters are remarkably popular across the country, and more and more people are hopping in the saddle. Yet they are very different from other vehicles in numerous ways, especially when it comes to obtaining a license to ride one in your state.

    Our staff has collected the relevant facts on motorcycle issues for every state. We've done the legwork and composed readable articles that are both fun to peruse and highly informative. Our state-by-state guides to motorcycle licensing and registration will put you on the fast track to gearing up and heading out.

    The Unofficial DMV Guide breaks down the licensing process in your state into easy-to-understand steps so you know exactly what you need to do, when you need to do it, what to bring, and what to pay. It's as simple as that. No more will you have to search multiple places or make endless phone calls.

    For example, some states require you to take a safety course approved by the Motorcycle Safety Foundation in order to get a license, while others don't. Click on your state to make sure you have all the information you need before you head into the DMV. The last thing you want is to go into an office and stand in line for an hour, only to be told you need to take the safety course first.

    Everything thing you need to know about how to apply for a motorcycle license where you live is just a few clicks away. And when you do get your license and are ready to hit the road, The Unofficial DMV Guide will steer you through the titling and registration process for your bike in your state, as well.
