Re: License/Permit Info for Virginia
Im 17 and want to get my motorcycle license, I already have a car license, so I just have to take the eye exam, knowledge exam, road course, and if i want that other course that gives you a discount on insurance?? And btw what kind of insurance do you guys pay? I'm thinking of getting a 95 Kawasaki Ninja? Are those bad bikes for insurance?

A insurance company will look at the size of the bike(as in how much CC) and the year. And not every insurance company will care about the course.
I have Progressive and I pay close to $400 a year which is pretty good I think plus I didnt take that course.

Re: License/Permit Info for Virginia
Well just went to DMV the other day and got mine. I started with go straight to a 90 degree turn in a two foot lined area without touching the lines or putting your feet down. If you cross the line it is 5 points and if you put your foot down it 3 points. If you get more than 10 points you fail. Well first was the 90 degree rolling turn (easy) Then you must do the cones a bit harder because the cones are staggard,

Not to bad
Then the rest of what they said above but I did not have to balance for 5 seconds without putting feet down???

Re: License/Permit Info for Virginia
What if my permit has expired but I am about to take the MSF class next weekend, would I have to take the knowledge exam again to attain my motorcycle license? Thanks!

Read the first post...................but if you are too lazy too
Provide DMV with a certificate from the Virginia Rider Training Program indicating that you have successfully completed the state-approved motorcycle safety course.
NOTE: If you provide DMV with a valid motorcycle safety course certificate, you will be exempt from holding the motorcycle learner's permit for 30 days and from taking the motorcycle road skills test at DMV.

Re: License/Permit Info for Virginia
Does anybody know how long the certificate for the safety course is good for? I took it in 2001 and for some reason no longer have the class-M endoresement. I don't recall telling them to drop the the endorsement, but I just noticed it was missing from my newest license.

Re: License/Permit Info for Virginia
just a question, the wording seems like it could be either way, but if you have a valid drivers license, it doesnt matter if you're over 19 or anything does it? you can just get the M designation added to your license right? no need to hold a permit for 6 months or anything?
