Frequently Asked Questions
We get asked a number of questions that express basic issues to do with training and motorcycling. We have attempted to give a list of some of these to better help you book the appropriate course and develop your riding skills and general appreciation of all things related to motorcycling.
See if you can find the answer to the question you may have below.
What sort of license is necessary?
The type of license you hold will determine what you can ride on and what you need training for. There are various categories of license that can be held at any given time.
What clothes do I have to wear on the courses?
You don't need to go out and buy the latest motorcycling gear, but we do recommend some sturdy boots, preferably waterproof and padded gloves if you have them. A warm, waterproof jacket is essential, especially in winter. If you have waterproof leggings these can be worn over your trousers. Better still if you have any bottoms with protection, then wear them as well. We can supply a helmet if needed. Otherwise, get fitted up at a local motorcycle dealer to ensure the correct fit for your head size.
What if I don't have a motorcycle?
You can choose to use your own motorcycle or use one of ours. You will find the prices for both options in the various sections dealing with the courses themselves. See the individual course sections for details.
What about insurance?
If you participate in a course with Bike Sense you are fully covered by our Insurance Policy, comprehensively. There is no need to arrange additional cover. Insurance costs are included as part of the course price.
