The section below aims to bring you up to speed with all
the necessary information about motorcycle training and
licence
requirements - it will also help you locate a training centre
near.
Hints & Tips: training is essential. Don't
view it as an obstacle to getting on two wheels. You didn't
set out in a car with no lessons, so why would you want to
on something faster with less balance !?
Hints & Tips: Check out Share Experience
to see if others have anything to say about you local training
centre(s).
