ya i am pretty sure when you take the msf, it counts as your written test. thats why you didnt have to take it
i took and eye test and 1 permit test to get my permit

 

either way it isnt that hard to get your licence. and if you had to you could ride on your permit forever lol deffinetly not the way to go but if seen people do it.

 

i just found this on some site... is this true??
i thought that if you have an ca automobile license, you aret required to take the class!
What is the California Motorcycle Safety course?
