MOTORCYCLE CHECK RIDE COURSE
Check Ride (CR)
The Check Ride stage, is also mandatory, can be undertaken at any time following the issue of your learner permit.
The Check Ride must be taken at least one calendar month before obtaining your motorcycle license. It consists of 3.5hrs of training on-road and on our training range.
This course is designed as a preparatory stage which will enable the rider to ensure that his/her road safety skills and practical skills are of a sufficient level to allow safe and successful completion of the Motorcycle Licence Assessment (MLA) which can be taken one month after completion of the Check Ride stage.* (other conditions apply).
The Check Ride is conducted with our normal 5 to 1 Student/Instructor ratio and the first stage is a number of exercises conducted on our training range covering correct steering inputs, effective use of vision and eye direction, braking and cornering techniques and simulated road-riding exercises.
These exercises are then followed by a group road-ride in varying, typical road and traffic conditions with each student completing “lead and follow” stages with our instructor, covering aspects such as:
What Aspects Does The Check Ride Cover?
- Low speed maneuvering skills
- Correct Lane Positioning
- Establishing Crash Avoidance Space
- Identifying Main Crash Hazards for Motorcyclists
- Buffering in Traffic
- Correct use of Mirrors and Head checks
- Correct use of all controls
The instructor will provide each student with a feedback sheet on completion of the Check Ride which will outline any areas which may require attention and practice prior to undertaking the Motorcycle Licence Assessment.
N.B. The Check Ride Course is ideal as a refresher course for returning riders who still hold a current Motorcycle Licence but have not ridden for some period of time

What is the Benefit of the Check Ride?
The VicRoads Motorcycle Check Ride is a program designed to help riders identify areas where they can improve their skills and knowledge, and to help them become safer and more confident riders.
The Check Ride is an assessment of a rider’s ability to handle their motorcycle safely and competently on the road.
Benefits of the VicRoads Motorcycle Check Ride:
It helps riders identify areas where they can improve their skills:
The Check Ride is conducted by a VicRoads accredited assessor who provides riders with feedback on their riding skills and knowledge. This can help riders identify areas where they may need to improve, such as braking, cornering, or hazard perception.
It promotes safe and confident riding: The Check Ride is designed to assess a rider’s ability to handle their motorcycle safely and competently on the road. The feedback provided by the assessor can help riders develop their skills and confidence, which can lead to safer and more enjoyable riding experiences.
The Check Ride is also used by returning Riders as it is an opportunity to assess riding skills, as the feedback received is invaluable and may point out various areas of your riding that needs more work and potentially further training.
There are a number of benefits to completing the motorcycle Check Ride, including:
Improved skills and knowledge: The Check Ride provides riders with the opportunity to learn from experienced instructors and to improve their skills in a safe and controlled environment.
