Default License question

Just some info I need.

When I moved to VA, I switched my NJ license over in 1999. In 2005, it was time to renew my DL. However, I renewed the drivers portion, but didn't have time to renew the Motorcycle portion(I was being mobilized for the Reserves). I took the MSF in NC back in 1996. I would like to get back into the sportbike community and looking into my options of what I need to get another VA license.

Can I take the written test and use my MSF card as a waiver from taking a road test? Didn't see any concrete info on DMV's site.

Any help is appreciated.

I know that normally the MSF course will take the place of the road course, but I am not sure if yours might have been taken too far back or not. Best bet would be to ask the DMV directly.

For some reason I recall the MSF card only being good for two years for licensing purposes.

You need to take the MSF course again and of course get your permit since you let your license with the M endorsement expire.

Virginia is stupid like that

I am 32 and held a VA Motorcycle License for 6 years up until 2005. So now I have to get a new permit too?

I may just take the MSF course again being it is easier that way and I am sure things have changed since I was 21.

Well, if you don't have a valid M endorsement, you have to take the permit test and then the MSF or riding test. The permit is only good for 1year

I know that. I just don't want to wait the 30 days.
