Howdy.
Ive been lurking this board and a few others for a couple months. I really enjoy reading this stuff.
I recently got divorced, and though it may be a cliche, Ive decided to get a motorcycle now.
Ive read through most of the forums, and Im hoping to get a used Kawasaki EX500 once this years tax return comes in.
Anyway, a couple questions. First, Ive been looking at the motorcycle licenseing website hear in washington.

Im a bit confused about where it says that you can skip the written and skills test if you complete the safety course. My question is - do you have to have the intruction permit first? Do you have to have the instruction permit to take the course?
Or could you take the course, get the certificate, and walk in and get the motorcycle endorsement?
I would like to take the course in the next few weeks, and then just walk into the licensing department and get the endorsement if that is something that is possible. Even tho I wont be buying a bike for another couple months.
Or would it be better to wait till I have my own bike, get the Intruction permit, and get some time on my own on the bike before trying the course?
I have some experience riding dirt bikes when I was a teenager, but Im quite willing to admit to being inexperienced.
Thanks.
P.S. this may be old news around here, but this is a fun little motorcycle java game if you havent tried it yet.
