Frequently asked questions

Why do we need to do the Kick Start Course?

The Kick Start course teaches kids and parents all aspects of motorcycling riding at the club. From rider safety, bike scrutineering, event flags and what they mean, as well as very basic things like how to pick your bike up off the ground properly if you drop it. It is important that everyone understands their responsibilities at the club so we can all be safe and enjoy the riding days.

Is the Kick Start theory test hard?

The test is designed for all ages. Parents can help younger kids with the answers. Don’t worry though, your instructor is there to help you get tot the right answer.

Can i come and try Minikhana before I join?

Yes you can. We host regular Ride Park Australia Days (RPA Days) throughout the year. On these days you can come to the club and ride at the track without license requirements. Of course, you are required to adhere to all the safety requirements with regard to your motorbike and gear.

We also hold Come & Try days occasionally where we provide bikes and gear for the first timer.
