Why?

That has been mentioned as a possiblity with one of our local organizations.

If it helps with insurance rates, great. If not, what's the reasoning?

they hope that having a license will mean they have some sense of riding ability.

well, which is easier to believe, somebody shows up and says i can ride vs i can ride and have a valid M-DL

w/ the influx of noobs to the sport and trackdays attracting all types, make sense to me. a license is no guarantee, but it's better then somebody's word that they 'can ride'.

I would think that it would lessen her liability somewhat.

I did ride for almost 2 yrs before getting my endorsment then decided it wasn't worth getting a ticket over so I went and got my permit then a month later got my license.

Insurance.

It means another PROFESSIONAL organization has already vetted this person on having the basic knowledge of riding a motorcycle. It also means I don't have to limit my organization by age - I can allow children if they already have a race license.

It makes it a simple answer if people don't have any of the above. It is no longer a personal judgment call.

About 1.5 months. I was riding before I even took the MSF course. A couple tickets forced me to be legal quicker. I needed to get my "M" before i took the tickets to court.
