Motorcycles

People who ride motorcycles do so for a variety of reasons. Some motorcycle riders in Pennsylvania choose to ride a bike because of the incredible gas mileage a modest motorcycle will bring, while others choose to ride the baddest hog―they thrive only when they can scream down the open road.

But everyone who rides a motorcycle has to be aware of the Pennsylvania requirements and responsibilities that go along with the ride. Riders need to pass special tests to qualify for a PA DOT motorcycle license. Reading the motorcycle manual and spending many hours practicing on your bike are a critical part of the learning process.

Street-legal motorcycles also need to be properly registered in Pennsylvania. You'll need to fill out the paperwork and pay the fees when you register your ride at the DOT.
