motorcycle permit.
 

So i went to the NYC Motor Vehicle on friday to take the written test for my bike permit, and i passed so i'm a little sup'ed. Any one want to give my some road lessons? or can i buy and register a bike with just a permit?

in PA you can buy a bike with just a permit, im not sure about NY tho.

well the nbike will be reg in NJ.

then why did you get a NY permit?

i have a new york D/L, new jersey allows you to register your car if you're in the state for school.

Omggggggggg ... Im Going To Have To Get A Bike Now.

i just got a thing in the mail about the bike permit, in pa your not going to be able to just get a permit. you will have to take the safty class and then you can get a permit and then license

No, thats not quite right. You have to take the written part to get your permit. You can't just walk in and get it and walk out in a matter of minutes anymore.

You used to be able to go in and pay the fee ( i don't remember what it is) they would give you your permit nad you would now be legal to purchase a bike, register it, and get insurance on it.

Now, you have to go in, pay the fee, and take the written exam. If you pass the written exam you will get your permit and can do the rest. It is still a good idea to take the msf safety course to get your license.

yeah...the test isnt so easy either, I took the test twice not to mention i didnt look over the book much..but i have been riding for almost 3 months. Your only allowed to get 4 wrong out of 20 ?'s.

What about NJ? Can you take this test in NJ with a NY permit? and does NJ allow you to register with a permit?

You can buy a bike in NY without a permit or license at all.

I did.

The road test is simple. Just practise up on doing slow turns and figure eights. Use a sport bike or a light bike for your test and not a Goldwing cruiser cus those things are impossible to figure eight in. (My assumption is that you are looking at sport bikes anyway.)

BTW, my bike is for sale, registered in NY for $5500. only 2,350 miles on it.
