already did all that.....shhhhhh..... (except the helmet thing) I'll always wear that.

I think it may be the same way here, not sure.

i still have my permit, doing my test next month but our permit rules are:

no highway driving
no night time riding
no 2 up
and i believe i cant buy a certain CC bike =S (dont quote me on that)

permit is $20 and expires in 3 months.. but you must keep it for a month before doing your m2 test

Bought my bike then the same day I got my permit and 2 days later passed my riding test. The instructor was shocked I only had the bike for 2 days but then again I've been riding dirbikes for my whole life. The funny part was I was taking the test with guys who have already taken it 3 times and failed and have renewed their permit for the past 5 years

I got my license 2 months after I got my bike. I picked up the bike in Feb and got the license in April and you really can't ride in Chicago before April so the timing worked out good. My brother got his license 7 months before he got a bike.

Been riding on my permit for about 2 months. In New york you also have to bring someone in a car to carry the DMV person around when you take the test. Ours is 2 left circles 2 right circles and a figure 8 in any order. Only problem is the DMV near me usually has you take it on a super narrow street so it's a bit harder on a street bike. There's a guy around here that has been riding on just his permit for 20 years. Kinda ridiculous if you ask me.

License. Got it when I took the MSF BRC. Here in PA the permit rules are:
  • Must wear a brain bucket
  • You can only ride after sunrise and before sunset
  • No passenger unless they are an authorized instructor
  • If you don't have any other type of license, you can only ride under supervision of a licensed motorcycle rider

If you complete the BRC or ERC, they issue you a temp license on the spot with an update card arriving via mail. It was pretty funny during the BRC tho. The first night the instructor walked in and asked
"Who already has a Class M license?". Only 1 guy raised his hand (he was there for a refresher).
"Who already has a motorcycle or moped?" Almost everyone raised their hand
"Who rode it here?" Almost the same number raised their hands (except me and the guy I came with)
"You all realize I can take your permit and boot you from class for riding at night?" Silence
