- Gloves that cover the fingers
- Boots that cover the ankle

we also request that riders dress weather appropriate, we typically keep running whether its hot, cold, rain or shine.

How much notice do I have to give for cancelations?

-
Do you administer the SGI written exams?
Although our staff is eligible to administer SGI’s written examinations for driver education, SGI does not allow us to host any Class 6 written motorcycle examinations for SGI as this would cause us to have an unfair competitive advantage over all the other Saskatchewan motorcycle training providers that do not have equivalently trained staff.
-
Do I need to complete the SGI written exams before taking the New Rider Training course?
No, you do not have to complete the SGI written exams before taking the course. They can be completed before or after the course
-
Do you take E-transfers?

Can I store my motorcycle overnight between the days on the track?
You may store your motorcycle at the track by our equipment container. We hire security to watch the grounds overnight until the class the next morning. However, even though we have had no incidents in the past, we are not responsible for any lost, stolen, or damaged items left at the track.
-
If my motorcycle gets damaged on the course who pays for the damages?
By bringing your own motorcycle you assume full responsibility of damages sustained throughout the course. We advise all individuals who bring their own motorcycle to have their motorcycle insured in some capacity. For more information see our Terms & Conditions as well as our Release of Liability.

How do I get my motorcycle to the course without a licence?
There are a variety of options including trailering your motorcycle, loading it into the back of a truck, or have someone with a motorcycle endorsement ride it over for you.

Can I get into an earlier class if there is a cancelation?

Do you offer training for 3 wheeled motorcycles?
We do provide 3-wheeled motorcycle (trike) training under the New Rider Training course however we do not allow 3-wheeled vehicles that retain a side-by-side designation.
-
If I bring a smaller motorcycle to the course, will SGI restrict me to under 400cc?
Under SGI’s current regulations there are no capacity restrictions for individuals who complete an SGI approved motorcycle training course such as ours. However, our stance is that if you take training on a motorcycle considerably smaller than you intend to ride then the training will not have completely or accurately prepared you for the road.
-
Will it be a problem to learn on a large motorcycle?
If you plan to ride a large motorcycle on the street once you get your licence, you should learn how to ride it before hitting the streets. We have had individuals bring both large capacity and heavy motorcycles to our course and be successful, although they can be more cumbersome.
-
What size of motorcycle do you recommend I take the course on?
We advise individuals to train on motorcycles similar in size, weight, and capacity to those they intend to ride on the streets.

I want to rent a motorcycle, but it doesn’t give me the option; how do I rent a motorcycle?

-
What size of motorcycles do you offer for your courses?
We have a wide selection of motorcycles from a variety of manufactures. The New Rider Training motorcycles range from 500cc to 900cc, for our more advanced training courses we reserve the opportunity to rent motorcycles up to and as large as our 103ci (1688cc) Harley-Davidson Police Road King.
