Default VA safety riders course

i am about to get my learner's permit for the motorcycle.

just wondering if there are people around here who would want to take the va safty riders course together. the more the better i guess. i am sure most of you know this already but, if you take the course, you pretty much get the "M" on your driver's license; you dont have to have your learner's permit for 30days and you don't have to take the "exam" at dmv.

most of insurance companies give at least 20% off the rate if you take the course.

if i am not mistaken, the closest place that offers this course is in salem,roanoke, etc.... not in bburg/cburg.

who's in?

oh also... i am not 100% sure yet but if we have enough people... we can have the Motorcycle Safety League of Virginia bring their trailer to us and teach the course right here in town.

the course is a 3-day long. fri/sat/sun... so you have to give up your partyings for that wknd.

how do you know? that depends on the insurance company and ur past record.

and ive already taken 2 driver improvement courses for that past 2 years...so in most likelyhood this wont do jack shit to my record.

hey steve: ill call my insurance company...and see if this will in effect reduce my insurance bill. if it does..you can count me in.

I had my motorcycle license in New York since I was 17, however when I got my VA driver's license I'm not sure if it transferred...have to look into that.
