skreidleWith respect to my inquiries regarding getting licensed to operate a motorcycle, in light of the fact that I'm a permanent resident of (and licensed in) VA, but residing in NY most of the year.

NY:
"You may apply for a NYS Class M permit/license without having another Class of NYS license, but you would have to take both a written test based on our Driver's Manual, as well as one based on the Motorcycle Operator's Manual and pay both Class D and Class M license fees.
Whether such a Class M NYS license would be accepted for reciprocity in amending your VA license is up to VA DMV."
-----
VA:
"Please be advised that Virginia Motor Vehicle Law requires all original licensing to occur in person. There is no provision in the law to allow
testing to occur outside Virginia."
