Motorcycle Training in the DC Area – How to Get Started
My wife provided the inspiration to realize my childhood dream of riding. Friends provided guidance about starting with used bikes. And eBay provided a ample supply of bikes of all shapes, sizes, ages, and costs.
But all of that still left me with the fundamental dilemma, how do I get a motorcycle license with no experience, and how do I get experience on the road with no license? How do I even get the bike home, after buying it!?
The answer for the Northern Virginia area seemed to be Virginia’s Rider Training Program. For those who have driven around this area on the weekends during the spring and summer, you’ve probably seen them: lines of motorcycle riders moving slowly through bright orange cones in the college parking lots.

The expansion of the academy programs for Halifax County Public Schools continued Thursday morning with the ribbon cutting for the new motorcycle technician training program at the high school.
The latest expansion was part of a significant push forward in the academy programs. Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine visited Halifax County Wednesday morning for the ribbon cutting of the new Lowe’s Equine Center and Agricultural Science Academy at the Halifax County fairgrounds.
One day later, Southside Virginia Community College, represented by provost Dr. David Johnson and other college officials, took center stage at the ribbon cutting, held at HCHS. SVCC and its president, Dr. John Cavan, have worked closely with local school officials to make the new motorcycle technician training program a reality.
