100% correct….. I rode motorcycles 44 years in US and decided it was time to get MC license. Read it’s better to rent a scooter for the driving portion in US … failed 2 times in the circle for putting foot down.
Next day borrowed my sons 75 ish BMW R75 which is shaft driven and easily passed.
Got an IDP from AAA in US c along with Car and Motorcycle drivers license. Thai license didn’t have to take driving or written test with valid IDP and US license. Had to take braking test, color, and some sort of depth perception? test that was 5 years ago .. originally 2 years and now 5 years.
You should be comfortable with driving MC and get some safety training.
A water Buffalo jumped across to my side of the road… has to lay it down .. stopped inches from a hoof in the wind shield .. with significant scraps …. So be well prepared.
Brother in law in US rode many years but rode aggressive… dropped my HD Streetglide at light on wet road.. going to fast and stopping last minute results he was in hospital for one week. Couple years later he bought a HD Roadglide ..ran into back of SUV he was going to fast and late braked. It killed him R.I.P.
