- Is there a minimum learner's height?
Yes, for the training a learner should be at least approximately 4'8" (1.42 m) in height.
- Where does the riding take place?
All learning riding occurs in ShawnsMotoGT.ca 150-acre backyard.
- Does training/riding occur in the rain?
Yes, if the rain is scattered/intermittent during the training, as we’ll seek temporary refuge in ShawnsMotoGT.ca garage whenever necessary which also includes during lightening or thunder. However, If the day before forecast is forecasting a full-day-of-rain, then training would be mutually postponed to when its convenient for you to partake, since without suitable riding gear it’s usually not fun riding in a full-day-of-rain.
