Answer
Try these:

www.nydmv.com
www.manys.org
www.msf-usa.org
www.mssnyc.com
www.javitscenter.com

Starting wth the DMV to find out what's required, and any of the following three can assist you with getting your license. I strongly suggest that you look into one of the motorcycle safety courses, because they offer a discount on your bike insurance as well as a road test waiver when you complete the class, and they will give you valuable info about riding that a driving school will probably overlook.

Since you're in the NYC area, check out the Bike Show at the Javits Convention Center. It usually comes to NY in Dec., Jan. or Feb. and stays for 3 days. You'll find a wealth of info about everything concerning bikes. From riding schools and security, to insurance and "go-fast" parts, it'll be there.

Chrome up, rubber down and good luck to you.

P.S.
The Bike Show will be at the Javits Center Dec 28 - 30th. If you go on Sunday you can bargain with the vendors to get pretty good deals on apparel and helmets. It's their last day and they're a little flexible with the prices.

Are the Golden Gate Bridge and Oakland Bay bridge free for motorcycles?




Fee


From what I heard... Is it only free in the carpool lane? What about Fastrak/Cash or other lanes? Is there a specific time and day it is free (holidays too)?


Bonus question: Where do you safely stash your money so you can pay the toll right away without going thru the trouble of putting your bike into neutral, take gloves off, take wallet out, and reverse the steps?



Answer
No, they are only free in the carpool lane, and only during commute hours. 7-9 in the morning, 3-6 in the afternoon. (And some of the bridges are different so don't take my word for it, look it up. I live near the Dumbarton Bridge and those are its hours).

I stop before I get on the bridge, take $4 out of my wallet, fold it up and stick it into the wrist of one of my gloves. But when it's not commute time, there's usually enough time for me to take off one glove, take out my wallet, etc.

On the east coast, in the NYC area, motorcyclists staged a protest in order to get the toll canceled for motorcycles. They all rode their bikes to work on certain days, then every one of them made a big production of taking off helmet and gloves, taking out their wallet, paying with a $50 bill, etc., taking up as much time as possible. This slowed traffic so much that the bridge authority ended up allowing motorcycles over the bridges with no toll. I think we ought to do that here! 8^D
