Here in Arizona if you take the msf course and pass you are giving a form to take to dmv and they hand you a license! The course supplied a Suzuki gs 250 it was close to a moped LOL!

 

MSF not operate in Ohio? Take the FREE beginners class, they give you a bike, teach you how to ride and maneuver. Pass the class, get a license here in PA.

 

Testing requirements vary by state. Excluding "learners permits", most states in the US don't have cc class based licenses.

 

My father and me both got our motorcycle licenses on a XL 1000 in NY. For some reason most HD riders at the time were scared of the test givers and rented bikes to take their test. Even though we took out tests years apart, neither of us had any issues.

 

the box isnt weighted as heavy anymore, at least not here in DE. you can bomb the box and still have a couple points left to pass.

 

I just did the msf course. sure it took a couple days but they provided the bike, I learned things I otherwise wouldn't have known and got a license out of the deal. well worth my time

 

Took mine on my 48 in NY. I just practiced my figure 8 for a few days. Once I had that down everything else is just basic rules of the road.

 

Ohio has the Motorcycle Ohio program which will give you your endorsement. I am in the military took the MSF course at fort bragg and they accepted that to get my endorsement. http://www.motorcycle.ohio.gov/ . I took My basic rider course on a CBR600RR (had to provide your own bike for the army course) and the box was a beotch, I took the advance rider course on the sporty and the box was way easier.

 

I took it on my 48, passed the first time, the slalom was easiest the circle NOTE: you just need to keep the front tire in between the lines NOT the rear. My friend tried it and failed because he thought both tires needed to be within the line therefore causing him to be distracted and going out of the line altogether- His second attempt he passed.

If your a first time rider take the course classes if you have been riding for years save the money and do it at the DMV or Secretary of State (whatever they call it near you)

 

I also took the Motorcycle Safety Course and didn't have to do a driving test. I took the class in Ohio and it was valid for my West Virginia license. Also, I agree with black_iron. It was well worth a weekend of class. If I'm not mistaken, it's honored in most states. But for some reason it was $100 in West Virginia and $25 in Ohio.
