Hey guys, new member here.
I have a few questions that I'd hoped could be answered by a few of you guys...
I have a yamaha yzf-r6 (2001) that I plan on riding to and from school (as well as around my town here in california)
I am 17 years of age at the moment.
I know you guys generally do not recommend 600cc SS bikes for anyone just starting to ride street, and I understand why. I'm not so naive to think myself invincible, but given the short distances and lower speeds of the area I will be navigating (plus I will be putting in time at some of the Yamaha track days around my area of Cali) I think that I can keep myself pretty safe. I have riding equipment.
Questions:
1. Do I need to take a MSF before I get my motorcycle permit? I have completed my drivers training/drivers education (here it says I do not, but I've seen other places it says I do.) This says I do not...?
2. When coming up to a round-about, are you allowed to lanes split to the front?
These are the question I'm most curious of as of now, if anyone can assist me I'd appreciate it.
Thanks!
