hey guys, i was just wondering how hard it is to get a bike license. i have a legit driver's license in va...do i still need to take some type of class? im also 18. i tried reading up on it on the DMV website but it kinda confused me and im at work and have limited time on the computer/sites i can go to. (add to that im a valet @ hotel so i cant really be on the computer too long before a guest shows up wanting to get on). i know i need to pass the test, vision test...again though do i need to take a class or anythin like that and how long is it.

 

It would be in your best intrest to take the MSC.Then just go do DMV and get your M on your licence.

 

ya go through tcc's safety course. just got done with it last weekend. lots of good info. plus after your done you go in to dmv take your writen test and get your license. good luck man.

 

1. what is the MSC lol? 2. how much is it and how long.
and how long is the tcc safety course/how much.

 

it is the msf course ,most community colleges have it . the cost is pretty close to 100 dollars but they teach you every thing from how to start the dam thing to how to turn it and so on just .check the local community colleges btw it is all weekend and then you go to the dmv and take a written test and you have an M on your licence

 

its 90. go to tccs website. its under work force development i believe. or just go out to the chesapeake campus. thats where its done. its 3 days. friday night 7-10. saturday and sunday you can either go 730-1230 or 1230-530

 

you also get an insurance discount and at your age with a motorcycle every bit will help

 

do you have to have insurance on ur bike? I know its good to have, but do u have to have it?

 

i belive in VA it is required that you have at least liability insurance / motorcycle or car

 

You have to go take a written test at the DMV for your permit which allows you to ride your bike with a licensed person during daylight hours. I believe you have to have your permit for at least 60-90 days before you can take the riding test. There is a waiting list for the MSF course at any community college. You can always be on stand by and if someone doesnt show up, u can get a slot. And Virginia requires liablity insurance on all licensed vehicles/motorcycles.
