I believe since 2009 texas motorcyclists require the weekend , $250 course to get the M on your licence so just be aware of that. This will make a confident rider of you. Texas has 2 trailers i believe full of motorcycles (they may use Honda grom's now) that park around the state and teach the course every weekend. Mine was at a local junior college. And yes get the basics worked out off road before you go for the certification.

Also, know your way around a toolbox, you will be using them. (Garage light and Texas bugs, ask me how I know
)
Good luck, PS, my instructor was a girl that road a BIG harley.
