anyhow it took me like 2 hours at the DMV to get my permit. Getting on line, taking my pic, filling out the app, taking the test was fast, but waiting to pay the fees took forever.

anyhow the test had 20 mult choice questions which I thought were tricky. They had nothing to do at all with motorcycles but dealt with traffic signs, drugs, alcohol, and judgement when driving. i got 16/20 right, which wasnt too bad though....

I have my motorcycle permit finally so I can start practcing....I'm gonna sign up for the MSF class as well....

 

what bike are you thinking about getting (if you dont already have one)?

 

congratulations! definitly a good start. i really need to get around to my license, i've been on permits for years.

Didnt i tell you it wouldbe all traffic related **** like on a Permit for a car that we have all already taken. No one wants to listen to me when i said its pointless to take if you already drive a car.

Congrats though

i need to take th MSF course thats offered locally. Its like $375 for the 3 day course, plus they'll waive the road test by completing the course and passing. I just need to see when classes are schedualed

 

damn they cant stop ******* you out there. MSF is free down here, if you pass you get your license, and on top of that you save like %15 on insurance.

humm maybe I can find out if they offer free MSF courses here in NY? maybe I can put that $375 towards a high quality helmet

 

Im starting to realize NY tries to mmilk people for their money. lol.
Move to PA dude, Save on insurance, dont worry as much about theft, and cost of living is about 1/5 of what it is up there.

I actually was considering buying a house in the Pocono area....the area thats within the closest commute to Manhattan...

we'll see how well my job stabilizes

 

Pocono is a big diff from NYC, lol. My Fiance's Grand parents live out there, Its all Mountain life. lol youd go nuts. Scranton is near there, I think that is more Cityish. But from NYC to Mountains is a big step. lol

 

it's $150 for MSF if you are under 21 in CA. thats $150 i can't justify paying since i can already pass the states test. i know i should have gotten my license when i were in NH.

LoL, just starting? HeHe. 90% of New York is rural/suburban and we are still one of THE highest taxed states in the country. Not to mention numerous *** rapings, such as this guys msf course,insurance, etc, that dont show up on tax reports. Not to mention a pretty shitty economy outside of the city/long island.

Sucks that you had to wait so long dude. Why'd they take your pic again? They just used my driver liscense pick. Whole experience took about 40mins for me. I cant imagine the DMV in the city though Band enough here in hickville.

 

If you're going to take the msf, than why bother with the permit

 

you won't find it for less anywhere in NY!! at least i wasn't able to...

congrats! where in NY are you?

Here in Ca you still have to take the same permit test at the DMV even if you take the MSF course.

I paid $70 for my MSF course, but free sounds even better.

one of the pre-requisites of the MSF class here is that you have a valid driver license, plus a valid motorcycle learner permit. it says it right here on this website: http://www.motorcyclesafetyinstitute.com

This MSF course is closest to my house
