Frequently asked questions.

Although we are an official partner of BMW Motorrad, we’re happy to teach all brands of motorcycles. The class is primarily focused on big ADV bikes like the R1300 GS, but we’ve had riders train on everything from small ADVs like the BMW 310 GS and KTM 390 up to big Scrambler-style bikes like the Triumph Scrambler 1200 XE.

Knobbies are welcome but certainly NOT required. If your tires are described by their manufacturer as dual-sport, adventure, 80/20, or similar verbiage, you’ll be fine. We’re looking for good traction in dirt and grass, not trying to set a hill-climb world record.

Our Level 1 clinic is designed to teach people who know motorcycle riding basics. Off-road experience is NOT required (that’s why you’re attending!)
But it would help if you were generally comfortable riding and operating your motorcycle. If you’re brand new to motorcycling, call us about how to get started and you can play in the mud with us next year!

The Level 2 Clinic is made to build on the skills we covered in the Level 1 class. If you’ve had any Level 1 or Beginner Adventure training anywhere in the world in the past, you’ll be prepared.
If you haven’t taken our Level 1 Clinic, the most effective way to determine which class suits you is to call us at +1 (604) 783-8158 and ask to talk with Shahnawaz. We can talk about what you want to learn and decide which (if any!) of our classes is suitable for you.

We plan this event late in the season so you can comfortably wear all your armour. You must at least have an ECE/SNELL/DOT-approved helmet, gloves, riding jacket or armour, riding pants with protection, and Adventure boots. Having a full set of gear is strongly encouraged.

For many legal and logistical reasons, we can’t supply a motorcycle for you to ride at the clinic as of now.
