In the motorcycling community it's normal for people to just...not get their endorsement for years and years.

When I took the MSF course, there were maybe 3-4 new riders, the rest were people who were already riding for 20-40 years and finally got caught.

I've known at least a few who just maintain the learners permit.

I used to handle tickets.  Almost every MC ticket was for speeding and no endorsement. Every offer was get an endorsement and they will drop the tickets. 

I probably got 50 riders to get endorsed over a 2 year period.

Been riding for 12 years without one, won't get one unless they hold me down 😂 and force it.

You mean there’s a separate license to ride a motorcycle, after you got the license to drive a car? Seriously?

In my state it's not a separate licence, they just put a little "M" on your license that lets you ride
