1. Do I need my own motorcycle to take the course?
No. Stampede Driving School will provide you a bike for the training and the road test.
2. How do I obtain my Class 6 (motorcycle) License?
You need to get your Class 6 Learner’s Permit, by taking a knowledge test at a registry office (this is not provided at our school). Then you must pass the on-bike test. If you have a Class 7 licence then you are required to take a road test. If you have a Class 5 or higher, you may take either the road test or an on-lot skills test.
