I got my permit, and I'm waiting to register for the closest MSF course.

However, even though I dont have a bike, I still have a small problem.


Im a minor, so even if I complete the msf course, will that mean I stil lcant get my lisesnse? I know if you complete it, you can get your license right then and there, but I'm not sure if it applies to minors.

The dude at the DMV said that I needed to have another lisensed biker following me at all times. This is so impractical and frustrating.. for one, I don't know any other bikers, and 2, how am I supposed to practice if I can't find one?

no, i got my motorcycle license when I was 16 after the course.

Check your local laws. In Illinois, even if you completed the MSF course, anyone under 18 still has to take the riding test at the DMV. 18+ can use the MSF certificate.

i think kentucky has this same law. I'm 23 and i just took a 20 question test for my permit and have to wait 1 month to get a license. I'm taking the MSF course so no road test for me.

But check your laws. Only way to be sure.
