Hi everyone,

I am a male 29yr old first time rider and wished I got into riding sooner. I just passed my NY permit test and I will be registering myself for the safety course very soon so I can start riding and take advantage of the weather. After visiting several bike shops, I am set on getting the ’08 / ’09 Kawasaki 250R which definitely looks so much better in person.

This is an awesome resourceful site and am looking forward to reading more articles and learning all I can about riding safely.

Sign up ASAP for the MSF they get booked up real fast. It’s a 3 month wait for one here in NJ.

Oh damn that’s not good. I don’t know how deep in NJ you are, but if you’re willing to take a drive, check out Smart Rider, so far there are a few open courses. I’ll probably sign up this weekend for early June.

Good luck! I passed two weeks ago as well.

NJ DMV doesn’t accept out of state MSF course completion cards sadly . I’m in central NJ and if i felt like going to the boondocks (1-2 hr drive) I could be taking the course as early as June. Sadly I really don’t feel like waking up that early when they’re going to be 8+ hr days. Also, I picked the longest running and best reviewed MSF in NJ that I could find. It just happened to be right next door to me.(about 3 mi away).

Here in California, I have seached the DMV site top to bottom and can not figure out how long the instructional permit is good for… a year? 6 months?

Here in NY, the permit expires 1 year after the exam date. If you got you’re permit, it would state the expiration date on the card itself.

Awesome, thanks! Good luck to you too.

Nothing like a good ol person to person conversation to clear it up… Though you may have to sit through a 25 minute recording full of options you care nothing for to get to that person….

I wish it was only 25 minutes… I forgot that I was on hold… listening to music…

Then you have to renew it by retaking the written test — so no worries.
