FAQ’s

I have never ridden a motorcycle before

• The Pre-Learner course is designed for novice riders. A good sense of balance and some coordination is all that’s needed.  If you lack balance, perhaps practise on a bicycle, that would be a great start

Inclement weather

• Our courses run regardless of conditions

What should I wear?

• You should come prepared with all of your skin covered including long sleeves, long pants (no ripped jeans) and sturdy footwear.  We supply helmet and gloves, however, if you would like to bring your own, please do.  If you bring your own open faced helmet, we require some form of eye protection in the way of sunglasses or prescription glasses

Lateness

• This course is run to strict guidelines as set out by TfNSW. If you are late for any reason (eg traffic, car issues, sleeping in), you will not be admitted to the course.  Your place in the course will be forfeited and you will have to rebook and repay.  This applies to Day 1 and Day 2
