To people with a motorcycle license...

[S14KAT]

I'm trying to get a motorcycle license sometime and just wanted to ask you guys a few questions. Where is the best place that you guys would recommend to take the rider safety course? I found one that they do at TCC, but are there any others? What all does the written part of the motorcycle exam consist of? Thanks in advance and I'm sure I'll have more questions later.

I took mine at tcc is was a fun weekend... There are no other classes other then Tcc.... As far as the written part just study the book. But thats the written part first and have it for about three months or so take the class at TCC. After you a done with the TCC class you can go get you license.

I took it at TCC as well. Excellant course. Then you just take your certificate to the dmv and they give you your license. Easy as can be.

I never took a course; except the safety course offered through the military so I could get base tags for my bikes.

I took the written and then took the riding exam at the Poplar Hall DMV off of Military back in 96. My riding portion was pretty tough; but I've heard from others that it all depends on who you get to give the exam and what kind of mood they are in.

I would recommend going while it's raining so the person won't want to venture outside. I've heard from a few that it works pretty well.

When i bought my bike i just drove up to Williamsburg DMV and took the test(No test Course). I just had to drive around the block.

Thanks guys :) I'll sign up for the course at tcc soon.

You don't have to take the class at TCC or CNU. I went and took the written test (on computer) and got my learner's permit. After 30 days, I rode up to the Suffolk DMV and took the rode test. It was simple. It only took like 5 minutes.

Like I said; the mood of the administrator giving the riding exam.


Mine was tough. Almost a full half an hour. But I've heard of some that never even made it outside.

yeah the class M classes at TCC are really good if you are a beginner,

[Del La Sol 1320]

you can get it by taking the written and getting your learners, and then riding and then passing the riding skills exam which usually consists of a u-turn, some cones you go in and out of, and you must start, get to 10mph, then stop in a box... you get like 3 chances to put your feet down or something, i thought it was really easy, if you've been riding more than a few weeks no reason you can't do it... BUT

i'd still suggest taking the motorcycle safety course whether you already have your license or not, it offers a insurance break that pays for the course itself in your first year and can add up to a bit of saved money over time, but doing that is the best way to get your license, you get a certificate which you then take to DMV after you complete your course and they give you a M-class license

i took the riders saftey course, it was actully alot of fun plus i met a bunch of great people, the 3 days of the class FLEW by. The only thing i didnt like is that i took it in the middle of summer and it was hotter then hell out side and because i was outside most of the time i got a wicked sun burn on my face, but because i was wearing a helmet 80% of the time, i only got burned around me eyes.. i looked like a friggin raccon...

[Del La Sol 1320]

oh and another reason to go, we have a sign up promotion for the safety course at my work from time to time, and trust me when we get the sign up its basically a line out the door of FINE ASS women... i've never seen a sign up where 75% of the people weren't women, and more than half of them were all hotties

I took the class through Thomas Nelson CC... It was a fun class and the insurance company I have said they wouldn't even give me bike insurance without having the class.

[94XRolla]

i took mine at Thomas Nelson CC, it was a nice weekend a few years ago, had rain, snow, sun, tornado... just about every weather element you could think of in the 3 days period... friday we spent in class, saturday and sunday we spent most of the time in the parkin lot skidding and turning and stuff... i used to race dirt track and ride the trails alot with my dirt bike, so i thought i knew enough, you'd be surprised what a safety course could actually teach you that you thought you already knew... i was also asked to take an instructors course and come back n teach but I never had enough free time to get into the course.... but all in all, if you have the funds to go to a class, its not a waste of money at all, plus you get a decent discount on insurance with a safety course behind you.

I'm with the guys...take the class TNCC has...you'll meet a few people, learn a lot and get a break on your insurance. Sign up soon, if you haven't already...I called in Feb (2 years ago) and they were booked through end of April...but you can ask to be wait listed too. I did and got in 2 weeks later.

have fun and good luck!
