I took the MSF Class at the Chesapeake TCC Campus this weekend. I've been riding for about 2 months now on a permit (took written test at DMV), so I had a lot of the basics already down. It was a good class though, learned quite a few things.

The first day of the three day class is all classroom stuff, watching video's. The second day is on the range (parking lot) going learning to ride the bike and basic handling skills. The third day you take the written test, then go on to the range for more complicated handling skills. Once that is done, you take the riding skills test - typically the last hour of the course.

After that, if you pass both the written test (50 Questions, 2 Points Each, 80% or Higher Needed to Pass) and the skills test (Max Score of 20 Points Permitted, different things give more points, lay down the bike or pop a wheelie you fail) you get a card that says you passed the course. Take that to DMV with a valid drivers license and you get your M Class - no permit required.
