So I'm going to drive down to the RMV tomorrow and take the permit test--what are some of the bike laws? I'm pretty sure it'll be common sense but anything i should know? Damn, I just thought about this---do I have to make an appt. to take the permit test? and do you get the permit right there and then or in the mail? I wanted to take a course up in Beverly this weekend/next week and I need my permit prior to attending. THANKS in advance----CHRIS

Common questions hand signals what to wear while riding ada ada ada. I think it was $15 the last time I took it you can just walk in it's all on done on the comp. and you get it that day

nothing to fear, it's all common sense questions.. took my permit test almost a year ago.. i just skimmed the handbook just to be sure.. but certainly wasn't needed..

Yea it did go up to $30 however now it last for 2 years rather than one so its not such a bad deal.

Thanks guys--- took the test and passed!. I'll either take the course in Brockton or Beverly. Any chance you think I'll find a mid 90's bike (at least 600cc) for around $1500?

Its a bad time of year to find a good deal.They are out there but if you came up lets say 2k-2500 it would open a few more doors for ya..You could always pick up a decent late model enduro (on-off roader) for pretty short money, that would get you on a bike and still be fun...Just some suggestions good luck....
