Is this course for me?
The "Gearing Up" course is suited for those who have never ridden a motorcycle or for those with limited riding experience.

Students must be able to ride a bicycle to take this course.

What will I learn?
We start with the very basic skills, including balancing, proper braking, starting the engine, engaging the transmission, gear changing, etc. Then we address important skills such as curves and collision avoidance techniques. At the end of the course, the successful student will have the necessary skills to ride a street motorcycle comfortably and safely.

What do I get at the end of the course?
When you successfully complete the Ministry "M2" test (done on-site), you will get The CSC certificate that your insurance agent is looking for, and the upgrade documentation for your M2 licence.

How long is the course?
The training consists of a 3-hour classroom session and 2 full days of riding on our motorcycles with expert guidance and instruction.

What will I ride?
Our fleet of expertly maintained, 250cc ’06 Yamaha Viragos have been chosen specifically for their comfort, low seat height and their ease of operation. These factors support all riders in gaining the confidence and skills required to ride a motorcycle safely and effectively. After learning on these bikes, students leave their course with real-world riding experience that they can easily relate to when purchasing a street bike of their own.

What do I need to bring?
The student must arrive with his or her

• valid M1 Permit
• proper riding gear,      
  (Gear can be rented from Studio Cycle. Click here)

You do NOT need to bring your riding gear to the classroom session, but you WILL need it whenever you are riding. Please note we DO ride on the Tuesday afternoon of the mid-week course! (Click here for more information if you are taking the Tuesday - Thursday mid-week course)
