What if I don't pass the tests?
Do I need my own motorcycle for the riding test?
No, however this test is for people who have their own motorcycle and are an experienced rider. If you do not have a motorcycle of your own yet, but are an experienced rider, you may rent a motorcycle for a fee. Please see options for renting on the checkout page.
If you do not have your own motorcycle, or are a bit rusty on skills - we highly recommend one of our inexpensive training courses. They include tips and tricks for riding, include the use of a school motorcycle, and include the testing as well.
I've made an appointment, but where do I find out the details?
After making a testing appointment and paying the testing fee you'll be sent by email or text the time and location. More information about what to bring, when to check in, what to expect, and some basic policies will be emailed to you prior to your appointment. You can Contact Us if you have any questions or concerns. Please read the Terms & Conditions for full details.
Can I reschedule my testing appointment?
Yes, you have the ability to reschedule your appointment up to 72 hours or more prior to your appointment. Just click on your original confirmation link and make any necessary changes. Please read the Terms & Conditions for additional information.
Puget Sound Safety has 3 types of training courses available that include the written and riding tests for your 2-wheel motorcycle permit. If you are under the age of 18, are military or are DoD, then you are required to complete a training course and cannot do testing by itself to obtain an permit/endorsement or get on a military installation.
Basic Rider Training
Intermediate Rider Training
Experienced Rider Training
Why should I take a training course instead of just testing?
Under the professional guidance of an instructor, riders improve their skills and become far better at operating their motorcycles. There are many simple tips, tricks, and strategies that make riding easier, safer, and more fun. The cost is not much more than just testing and is a great way to gain confidence before mingling with all the hazards of riding on public roads.
Many insurance companies offer great discounts to people to participate in a training course. Many riding clubs (HOG, Kawasaki, GWTA, etc) require their members to continually improve riding skills through rider training courses.
What types of motorcycles are available for use during the training courses?
The school utilizes 100-300cc motorcycles. There are standard, cruiser, sport, and dualsport types available.
