Liscense or No?

[sjryser]

How many of you were like me? I got my permit than a motorcycle than my license.

 

[AJ_rider]

Not I, I got my motorcycle a few weeks or so after I got my license. My friend bought his R6 the same day he took the MSF BRC...so he had his permit but not his license. My g/f got her bike before she even had her permit!

 

[DMP84]

I got my permit, then my jacket and boots, then gloves, then license and a few hours later my bike, and then helmet... all over the place basically.

I never had a permint (LA doesn't require them). However, I had my license 8 months before I got my bike.

I was on my third street bike before I got my license. The first two were on permits back when Maine used to issue a 6 month permit. Got me through two seasons.

Third bike, I had a 30 day permit and got my license on the 29th day of it. Finally legal...

No permit.. BRC, license, and bike.

 

[dean owens]

i got my permit, bike, brc then license. the bike was second only because it was given to me and it's hard to pass up free. :rockon:

 

[shamrocker]

My wife got her license and then decided to buy a bike. Since I was working on it all the dang time, I thought I'd get a permit and license so that I could enjoy riding it, too.

Here in Denmark there's not really an option, - you get your licence before you get your bike.
You are 90% sure to be pulled over by the police every so often, - just checking your licence, and it's not in any way legal to drive without one.

EDIT: Ohh ja,- I picked up the bike from the Dealer 30 minutes after I got my licence

Bike, then one week later the license. At the age of 15. In TN you could (can?) get the M endorsement for a 650cc or smaller at 15 years of age.

Re: License or No?

Well we don't have permits here, so for me it went like this: Scheduled for MSF course, bought bike, took MSF course, turned in MSF card for license. Didn't ride the bike till I got the license though.

 

[mogs08]

Whats that permit.. ?
Here we can buy bike whenever we want, need a license to run it.. Permit for what?

I started riding before a permit or endorsement were needed. SO, for me it was bike, another bike, then another bike, etc. until I was required to have an endorsement. I took the written test in the morning and the driving portion that afternoon.

Here in metro Detroit, speed limits are enforced around our main airport. About a week ago, I saw two sport bikes being loaded onto flatbeds on the shoulder of I-94. I figure they were popped for speeding, then it was discovered they didn't have cycle endorsements. It will no doubt be an expensive lesson, but hopefully one that will help them avoid a bigger problem down the road.

No such thing as a permit for bikes back when I was young in Ohio. I had several dirt bikes before I took the test & got the MC stamp on my license. Road bikes started a year or so later.

 

[chunkygoat]

Permit (whilst riding a friend's ninja for a few months), Motorcycle Safety Program, License, then bought mine

 

[FZ6biker]

I got my bike then after a few months of riding on my International bike License. I took the MSF and did the computer test taking the waiver of the riding test and got my License endorded with the 'M'.

Had a MC endorsement with DL years ago and let my license expire. When I went to retest and they asked me if I still want the MC endorsement I didn't think I would be riding MC any time soon so said no. So got this bike, the permit, passed the riding test.
