Default I Bought an 06 black 250 R this weekend

I have full coverage on the bike and the permit i got from the Sec. of State, but i dont have my endorsement yet.I
brought a truck to the Kawasaki dealer to pick it up and the guy ive been talking to behind the counter the last few
weeks asks me why im not riding it home.I state that i dont have an endorsement yet, and the guy laughs at me, and
says im 42 years old and i dont have an endorsement, never have never will.Then a guy about 5 feet away
(also behind the counter) says, me neither.I was just curious whats the ticket like for getting popped without an endorsement?
Do the cops take your bike and impound it or what?Just curious...personally i wont take it out on the road without someone
with me, not until i have a real plate instead of the paper one i have in my pocket lol.

Ok so i drove my bike to a buddies house who has an 83 kawasaki 750 R.He took his bike out and did a couple burn outs and got on it a little.Well about 10 min. later a cop shows up...im thinking great here we go.Anyways the cop asks where the plates are for these bikes.My friends bike isnt legal, and we tell him that.I bust out my paper license from kawasaki and give it to the cop, he looks at it and gives it back.He starts asking questions about the cc's and how it does on gas.I even let him sit on it...but before he left he asked me if i had an endorsement.I was hesitant but stated i didnt have an endorsement, and all i had was a permit and full coverage.The cop says well at least you have something.I swear my friend and i sat and talked to this guy about bikes for atleast 45 min.Im going to get my endorsement but after the weekend ive had with the motorcycle dealer givin me chit, aswell as the cop not really caring weather i had one or not, i think im a little less afraid of riding without it.Not that thats necessarily a good thing......

so what's the big deal about an endorsement, i'm 20 so i'm sure i don't won't have one? what exactly does it do, or how do you get one? etc.

Your supposed to take a written test at the Sec. of State.After you pass the written test you get your permit, which expires like six months later.Then you have to take a road test on the bike and pass that to get your new drivers license with your endorsement stamped on it(which again you have to go to the Sec. of State to get).It lets police or whoever know you can legally and knowingly operate a motorcyle.If you get pulled over without it i found out in Michigan its a misdimeanor and you get 2 points on your license.Not to mention they can impound your bike if they really wanted to screw ya.

also how much did you pay total for your 250........cause if i don't get a used one off ebay, im getting a black 06 retail 3k, was wondering how much more you payed with title, plates, inspection, etc. (dealer told me 3700-3800) not sure if that included gear, sure as hell hope so.........numbers would be appreciated
