Course Requirements:
Applicants who wish to get a license must be 16 years of age or over and possess a valid Ontario Ministry of Transportation M1 license. This special license is a 90-day permit to ride a motorcycle and is issued by the Ministry of Transportation upon successful completion of a written test. (Any applicants who presently possess a "Limited Speed Endorsement" or in other words, a scooter licence, must obtain a "Full-speed Training Temporary Driver's Licence". This can be obtained at any DriveTest Centre for $7.50. This is a 90 day permit which allows you to take the course and update your Limited Speed Licence to a full speed M2 licence.) Applicants must provide their own helmet, leather gloves, jacket (leather, jean or ballistic nylon), pants and above the ankle leather footwear. Note: Running shoes are NOT acceptable.
A Word About Risk:
Motorcycling is inherently risky. Although we strive to provide a very safe training environment, there is still a risk of injury. These courses are strenuous, tiring, mentally and physically challenging. On an average course, a couple of people may have a minor accident and receive scrapes to knees and other body parts. A few people during the training season may incur more significant injuries such as fractures and sprains. You will be required to sign a waiver of claim prior to taking our course. If these risks are unacceptable to you, and you do not wish to sign the waiver, please do not register.
