Title: IL MSF- waiting 2 weeks for completion card
Post by: CRXDrew on May 19, 2006, 06:39:42 PM
So apparently there is some new system in IL for the MSF that originated from Oregon. So along with a few minor teaching/course changes from the old system I now have to also wait 2 weeks for my completion card to come in the mail.  :dunno_white: :mad: :dunno_white: :mad:


So I have my bike now sitting outside of my apartment here for summer school... and no way to legally ride it. Lame. I was thinking about getting my permit and just retaking the whole thing at the DMV to expediate things... but even then I'd need to be with a rider to take my bike to the DMV or atleast ride alongside.

Think I would get shaZam! from them if I showed up w/ a permit on my bike with no friend?

They don't give you a temp one after the class is over until the "real" one comes?  :dunno_white:

nope, nothing...

I'm kinda pissed... I think I'll see if I can get a hold of someone who has a license... maybe one of my friends can come down for the weekend So I can jsut grab my license form the DMV. It was a good course... but one of my instructor was so damn annoying.... not like she was helpful and annoying... but she was just harping all week with schizo body gestures....  :cookoo:

They told me itd be 10 business days (2 weeks duh) but the envelope was postmarked 3 days after the class, so i got it in 5 days, not too shabby. Heres hoping you get the same treatment  :thumb:

That's totally lame.  Here in Colorado, my classmates and I finished the class Friday afternoon at like 3:30pm.  We all drove 5 miles to the DMV with our completion cards, paid $1 (yes, $1, helps offset the reduced costs for MSF courses here), and walked out with our paper temporary licenses before they closed at 5pm!

I guess just patience, my friend.  ;)

WEAK!!!  I got my card the same day... 

It's not like a motorcycle is a handgun or anything...  SHEESH!  Why the wait week?

Does it make you feel any better that I paid $240 for my MSF and $97 for my bike tabs?

It took over three weeks for our cards to arrive after my bf and I took the MSF together!  :mad:

Well... it just sucks because my friend who took the class last summer in IL said he got it the very same day. Oh well.. no biggy I guess.. I just really wanted to take advantage of the summer. Now its kinda summer -2 weeks  :icon_razz:. Yea... 20 bucks for the class... and you can choose to get it refunded. Even though I was kinda pissed about the 2 weeks I still donated it.  :thumb:
