I'm living in Illinois (also an IL permit, fyi), and I'm not sure if I'm now able to ride on my own, when i'm able to ride etc. I've heard that I need someone over 21 'supervising'. Does anyone know if there's a penalty for not riding with an over-21 adult? Also, insurance-wise, what do I need to do once I buy my motorbike?


Answer
There are two types of motorcycle licenses in Illinois. The Class L type is for motor-driven cycles with an engine displacement of 150 cubic centimeters or less. The Class M license is for motorcycles with a displacement of 151cc or more.

Teens 16 and 17 years old can obtain a motorcycle license by following this process:

1. Apply for a learner's permit (also known as an instructional permit) for a conventional license.
2. Attend and complete a driver education course at school.
3. Apply for a 12-month motorcycle learner's permit.
4. Study the Motorcycle Manual and the Rules of the Road.
5. Enroll in the 20-hour Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) Motorcycle Rider Course. This course is free. Find out more by calling IDOT's Motorcycle Safety Project at (800) 892-9607 or (800) 642-9589.
6. Hold your learner's permit for at least three months. During this time, you are allowed to ride the motorcycle only in daylight hours while supervised by a qualified motorcyclist.
7. Pass the motorcycle road test at any local Secretary of State driver services office.

A new motorcycle license costs $10.

If you are 18 or over, most of the same requirements still apply. The main exception is that if you complete the IDOT Motorcycle Rider Course, you can waive the road test. The fee for the first-time Class M or Class L endorsement is $10. Renewals are $5.

Riders will be expected to demonstrate proper control of the motorcycle at all times. This will include starting it, making slow and fast turns, driving in traffic, and stopping safely and smoothly. The Motorcycle Manual offers detailed information on how to execute the moves that will be required on the test. The manual also provides sample questions for the written portion of the test.

You have to have your bike insured before riding it on the road (legally). Buy a bike, call an insurance company and negotiate insurance, pay them (or they will bill you) and they send (snail main & possible e-mail) proof of insurance for the bike. Carry the proof when you ride.

Lastly, IL is a helmet-optional state. Take the right option & wear a helmet. I recommend a full face helmet, if you like yourself when you look in the mirror in the morning.

Is a ktm 125 or 150 a good fit for me?

Im about 5'6'-5'7 and About 135-140 pounds, i had my first didrtbike when i was 6 and have had a quad and or dirtbike ever since. But because my birthday is in october and only two months from christmas i requested to join the holidays to get on big gift. I realise that this big gift is about 7,000 dollars but thats why i have taken on extra task to help with cost and earn it. But my point is will a KTM 150 or 125 sx last me and be a good fit as i finish to grow? Also a list of the new gear i should get, i have always just had a helmet.


Answer
It's probably going to be a bit tall for your build, but with your riding experience you should be able to handle it. You may as you get older want a bigger bike for more power but as far as fit goes it should stay just fine! As to gear you should get some good boots and gloves at least and then maybe add leathers and a back protector to complete your outfit.
