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.

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?

purchasing a street bike of their own.
