What he said. For up-to-date clarifications, visit http://www.motorcycle.ohio.gov/ . They are the official site. Also, any BMV office in Ohio should have printed information, including the very useful study guide for the written portion of the test (for your learner's permit). I took the course in Greene County - it was great!JCS wrote:Unless this has changed recently here's the deal in Ohio.
You have to have your drivers license and motorcycle learners permit to take the MSF course in Ohio.
The cost was $25. If you were under 18 and passed, the fee was returned to you. If you are under 18, you must take the course to get a motorcycle license.
You must supply your own gear. Bikes are provided.
If you pass, you do not have to take the riding portion of the DMV test.
Sign up NOW as the courses fill up fast. They may already be full up for this year. My neighbor signed up in February and the first class he could get into was in June.
Little known fact: show up anyway for the first class even if you are scheduled for a later one. If someone else does not show up, sometimes you can slide in. Those under 18 are given preference.
