blacktalon606 Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 It's the same as driving a car without a license. They COULD throw you in jail for a few months... but as jails are over crowded they will just fine the shit out of you instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbot Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 i ended up making the drive from mentor to solon 3 times so i could take my class (my local classes were booked til forevar, like you).you may have to do that... believe me, the MSF is totally worth it, and it's a lot more fun to do it that way than have some portly disgruntled state trooper yell at you.but as far as temps, it's like $11... just go get it. it takes all of 10 minutes go fly through the computer/written test. the lines are the only thing that pisses me off. if you're busy with work, you should be able to sneak out during lunch time or during saturday... a lot of the exam stations are open on saturday because of this type of thing.good luck, whatever you end up doing.

thomez Posted March 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 ya I'll probably go get my new temps tomorrow, I'm actually on spring break this week and I was there today but didn't feel like letting them pillage my asshole twice in one day.

thomez Posted March 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 ya I guess it would be a lot cheaper to just get my stupid permit again and try to get into a class I'm sure in a few tries I can make it in .... showing up at 6pm on Friday nights is pretty sucky tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NinjaNick Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 procrastination is a motherfucker. Never should've waited man. Back when I got mine I had my permit for only 2 weeks and got my license to get it over with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just practice. Find yourself a large parking lot and practice doing U turns within the lines of two parking spaces. Get good at that and you will be fine.

thomez Posted March 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 I'll give it a shot and see how that goes once I get started riding her again this year doing a valve adjustment starting today, might take a lil bit to get the shims I need to put it back together I'm sure the bike will be A LOT easier to ride than I remember it because I was riding on a completely shot, fell out in pieces, rear wheel bearing ... even did a group ride on it! f'ing rear tire wobbled like Muhammed Ali Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warpspeed Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 hmmm depends on the cop, don't give them a excuse to pull you over and they shouldn't bother you....like i said it depends on the cop.....this is no bullshit, one of my buddies did 160 and outran a cop on his **GIXXER SQUID BIKE** last week, no permit or anything (he does wear gear and he's getting his permit asap)....but anywho another motorist got his plate numbers and the cop called him and he said if he didn't come in he would have a warrant out for him. Amazingly enough all he got was a 89 in a 65 ticket because thats what he was clocked at. If he wouldn't have came back in he woulda got the book thrown at him. Again this is no bullshit, he's damn lucky. I got fucked riding on permit at night, had to go to court and got a fine and 2 points, wish i woulda fought it.

CBRzach Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 I got pulled over without the endorsement on my liscense. I showed the officer my MSF card and he let it go but told me not to ride on the highway on my way home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWing'R Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 my stupid permit is expired and I don't have a suitable bike for the test anyone with a small bike or dual sport I could borrow cheap? Check with someone from Pride of Cleveland Scooters, they may be able to tell you where you can rent a small cc scooter to take the test. I know there is a guy down here in Columbus that makes a living doing that but not sure about up your way.http://www.clevelandscooters.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
