Stay Upright (Botany)
Motorcycle Training · 5-9 Lord St, Botany, NSW 2019
Transport for NSW accredited rider training with a Botany training site, running the NSW Pre-Learner course, licensing courses and adventure bike training with bikes and gear provided.
What to ask a motorcycle training school
- Do you provide the motorcycle and helmet, or do I bring my own? Many pre-learner courses supply a small bike; most expect your own gloves, boots over the ankle, and a long-sleeved jacket.
- Which course do I need for my learner or provisional licence, and does it count toward the next stage? Each state runs its own licensing scheme, so ask the school rather than a forum.
- How big are the classes, and how many trainers are on the range? Fewer riders per trainer means more time riding and less time waiting.
- What happens if it rains, or if I do not pass the riding assessment? Ask about rescheduling and reassessment fees before you pay.
- Do you run courses beyond the licence, such as advanced or refresher training? A refresher after a long break is worth the day.
