Connecticut DMV Motorcycle Handbook 2021
The state of Connecticut is widely known as the “picturesque southern gateway to New England” and with good reason. It’s easily accessible from a number of surrounding states by motorcycle and the northern region of the state is home to rolling hills of Litchfield Hills and several villages that are centered around town greens with a large number of antique shops staffed by locals. The central part of the state is home to the picturesque city of Hartford and the scenic Connecticut River valley. The eastern part of the state has lovely sandy shorelines perfect for a ride.
But before you can explore all the state has to offer you’ll need a motorcycle license and that means you need to begin preparing for the state required written motorcycle test. Start by reviewing the information found in the Connecticut Motorcycle Manual . The handbook is designed to help develop your rider knowledge and ultimately become a safe rider on the streets and roads of Connecticut.
