Finally!!!!

[El Diabro]

Got my 'M' endorsement this morning after taking my written test!

[dufremle]

Congrats!


Wait. Why am I congratulating someone who has been riding without a license?

Nice!

[sckego]

Congrats!

...though, I thought you needed to take the written test before getting your learner's permit, and then a riding test to get fully licensed?

[Firewa11]

If you take the MSF course, which is now required for new riders to get their license, you only have to take the written. The MSF course counts as your riding test. I just looked up the rules for motorcycle license:

It pretty much sounds like a learner's permit for a motorcycle is geared towards someone < 18 years old, and both require a MSF course.

Ah, so you didn't have a license or permit before?

Hehe, glad you've got that remedied!

[Firewa11]

Do you know how many people ride motorcycles without an endorsement?

[El Diabro]

Yeah, I know right? I didn't know you had to have the MSF class when I got the bike, and then it was a scheduling thing with the class which is why I ended up taking the class Easter weekend.

Like Firewall said, there are a ton of people who are unlicensed...not that it makes it right, but yeah, a lot of people just don't do it

well, congrats on getting your license, and shame on you for riding without it!

I know a lot of people do it, but it doesnt make it right, or even okay.

yes ma'am

[U-Turn]

Ready to ride now.

[Meat of Snail]

Hmmm…. Should have gotten the “M” before you started riding, but I can’t be too hard on you, seeing as you took the initiative to go back and get the official “M”

congrats on the "M"

I didn't take a MSF. I walked right on in the DMV and told them I wanted to get a M endorsment. The trooper handed me the book. Looked over it in 2 mins and took the writen. Then the next day got my neighbor to fallow me back up to the DMV and took the riding part. It was first come first served. Scored a 89.

You'd be suprised at how many don't have insurance either.

For new riders that have never had an M endorsement either in Texas or in another state, it's now a requirement to take the MSF course to get your license.
