A while back, I posted an article about the trials and tribulations of getting legal paperwork for your scooter, if you happened to purchase it without a proper title. The scoot is now on the road – find out how…

Have you seen the scooter of your dreams but it doesn’t have a title? Scott dives into what’s involved in getting the bike on the road. Are there headaches ahead?

I hoped that after a “get-to-know-you” period, my rides would become more carefree. Time to think again.

Thinking of obtaining your license by taking the Motorcycle Safety Foundation Basic Rider Course? Click on inside to read Scott’s take on the experience.

Scott decides to take a riding lesson, fix his bike, register it, get a permit, and transfer a license all in the space of twenty-four hours. Oh boy.

In short, earlier this week, I lost my license plate. I’ve been using industrial Velcro for the past four months to pull the plate easily whenever I parked. During that time the Velcro has lost its strength.

6 weeks or so since taking the MSS 3 day Basic Rider Course, and 2 and a half months or so since beginning the entire process, here I am street legal. Finally.

If I learned one thing through this entire process is that it took a lot longer than I imagined, but as my girlfriend pointed out over the weekend, perhaps this is one process that shouldn’t be rushed.

6 weeks to the day, my test waiver finally arrives. You’ll forgive me for blurring the details. True to the email update I got from MSS, it arrived the first week the DMV started issuing them for ’09.

If you’ve been following our learning to ride section you’ll know that I took my Basic Rider Course with New York’s Motorcycle Safety School back at the end of March. You’ll also know that my expectation at the time was to get my test waiver immediately upon completing the three-day course.

Got all my insurance paperwork through today.
