Hey guys,
I was just wondering about motorcycle licensing. Like just the general process. So what happens after you take the MSF Basic Rider course? Do you get something like a permit? Can I practice on my own after taking the MSF course? I’m just confused as to the process of obtaining a motorcycle license.
Not sure in your area. Here you needed at least a permit to take the MSF. Then and it varies by state wether or not the completing certificate allows you to by pass the driven part of the test to get your endorsement. The certificate you get really is nothing more then a pat on the back . Unless your state recognizes it as an exemption.
Here in Ohio, yes, you have to have your permit (pass the written test) in order to take the MSF. The MSF class ends with a skills test, which if you pass it, you get a card that you take to the BMV to get your endorsement. If you are younger than 18, you MUST take the MSF to get your endorsement. If you are 18 or over, it is optional. You are also able to just schedule a skills test at the BMV.
In Massachusetts, I prepaid $15 when I went to get my permit (which I needed in order to take the class, or rather to get a license out of the class). Because I prepaid that money and I passed the course, my license automatically got mailed to me in a week or two.
Here in WA you do not need a permit to take the MSF class, and if you pass, you take your completion card to the DMV and you are issued your license. No written tests, but you do need to hand over $20 or so.
you dont need a permit to take the msf and once u pass the class you just have to take the written at the dmv(essentially the permit test), pay the fee and thats it
lol, ransak…we can tell you how it works in individual states all day…well at least 50 threads worth…but you’re easiest route is to call your local MSF. They will give you a direct and accurate answer in two seconds
