I got my M1 written test, I can ride anywhere by certain highways (freeways) and after dark, no instruction necessary., but you have 90 days to get your M2 in which most people take the course. Means cheaper insurance and can go for your Full M sooner. My sister is not thrilled I can get on a bike an ride without instruction and learn as I go. However I won’t get on one until I take the course (3 weeks and counting)

Shannon: Interesting… what happens if you don’t have a supervisor? When you take your road/parking lot test does that give you your full license, or a limited license?

I imagine if you don’t have a supervisor you would have no choice but to sign up for the course. I think (may be wrong here, but I’m about 90% sure) that because I already hold a class 5 (car driver’s license) there is no graduated licensing for me and once I pass my road test I am a full class 6 (motorcycle license.) If I didn’t hold the class 5 already it would be provisional for I thnk two years.

I took the RTI (Rider’s Training Institute) course for my M2 license. It was an all women’s weekend so it was very relaxed as 19 women became familiar with riding a motorcylce. Many of us were/are passengers and thought it was time to take control…lol. Very empowering to ride your own bike.

I liked the course… I like the fact that the total number of participants was restricted to 20 and there were 6 instructors. I felt we had a lot of on-to-one feedback.

I will probably take an advanced riding course through Durham for comparison. When will the 2009 Ninja 250 be available?

Some dealers, from what i’ve heard are taking deposits on the ’09 ninjas right now…

I talked to Kawasaki Canada because I was hearing different things from different dealers. The dealers said anywehere from June to October, to August to Spring. Kawasaki said the end of summer no specific date was given. So I am hoping for Sept. Keeping my fingers crossed. I liked how they put restrictions on numbers so you get better ratio of drivers to trainees.

Cheers
