The Saskatchewan Safety Council is pleased to offer two motorcycle safety courses. They are outlined below:

Introduction to Motorcycling

Introduction to Motorcycling is a 6- 8-hour course designed for individuals who have NO experience operating a motorcycle and would like to experience the very basics of operating a motorcycle.
Our program introduces the sport of motorcycle riding in a non-threatening and relaxed environment. The smaller class size means that riders have more contact with the instructors and more time to practice basic skills such as balance, clutch control and slow speed maneuvers.

The cost for the program is $160.00 plus GST.


Motorcycle Training Canada - Gearing Up ***I highly recommend taking this one***

This 21-hour program is designed to help prepare you to ride a motorcycle in a traffic environment.
The Saskatchewan Safety Council is excited to offer a new motorcycle training program in Saskatchewan for 2008. Motorcycle Training Canada is a course developed in consultation with other provincial safety councils.

Here are some of the topics covered in the Motorcycle Training Canada Program
-Before you start
-Riding tactics for the urban rider
-Traction and control
-The open road
-Balance and braking
-Starting the engine
-Slower speed control
-Higher speed control
-Basic traffic behavior
-Emergency techniques

Bikes are provided for you to learn on. You do not need to hold a valid motorcycle learners license to take this course. Our instructors are highly experienced riders and qualified trainers in motorcycle safety.

The cost for the program is $350.00 plus GST.
