Default question about my bike permit

i moved here and haven't change my license or plates for my car yet,(still insured, inspected, legal)etc.

i used to ride my 91 cbr daily with just my bike permit in MA(still good till 08/2011).

if i were to get another bike, would it be possible to ride here with my bike permit from MA?

You should be fine, I rode in Indiana with my bike permit for FL, as long as your bike is registered you should have no problem, also florida does not require insurance

If you have a permit from another state you can get it without having to take a safety course. Think you just have to go down to the DMV.

BMV in zepherhills is awesome, in INdiana i would have had to take my drivers test again for my license, AND THEN my motorcycle test to get my shit done there, so i flew down to FL and got it renewed here lol.

u have to contact the dmv because last time i checked they just transfer your endorcement over to a fl license but only if it's from a state that has been approved by florida dmv to uphold their standards for endorcing riders....
