Motorcycle Dave here with a Drivers License question

Not moving just curious

Coming to New Jersey only requires funding the DMV when transferring your license/registration. No tests (which is scary because they let my 91 y/o F-in-L transfer - not even an eye test!).

I moved from Nevada to Washington state in early 2024.
Washington will accept transfer of either a 2 wheel or 3 wheel license endorsement but not both.
I kept my 2 wheel endorsement and took a riding course to get a new 3 wheel endorsement.

Old thread Don’t forget the plethora of good cuisine around here as well.

Pic failed so: "Say what you will about the South, but no one retires & moves up North."

The license itself should be fine, unfortunately however, I have heard (unverified) horror stories about vehicle registrations/titles, military or not. Especially at renewal time; & then there's just crap roads, dodging pot holes, road kill, idiots, &/or drunks. All in over abundance!

As many of you from all over the good ole USA please chime in.....
Lets say I decided to move from California or any other state and
I possess a valid drivers license AND have the motorcycle endorsement
that has been in effect for years, which means I can ride any motorcycle
of any size or any 3 wheeled vehicle, such as a Spyder-or a 3 wheel Harley
or other 3 wheeled rig... when you go to the local DMV to get your License
for that state do you have to take some kind of a test to see if you can ride
even if you have been riding with a valid Motorcycle License for years in your
home state.
Just wondering.....
Thanks
Dave

Hi, Dave! We just renew and the MC endorsement carries over. (MN) Don't know about coming in - been here 40+ years.

We do have a varying period every spring of sand, etc. in the. corners until the first raging downpour.

I checked as deeply as NC DMV would allow because the motorcycle handbook is so old. Straight drivers license is virtually automatic, but the motorcycle endorsement requires a written and an off-street skill test. I let my VA motorcycle license laps back in the 70s and took the MSF basic course to refresh myself and get a break on insurance, and if you pass that, you show the completion card and don't have to take the off-street skill test.
