I passed my test today (250cc) :) A more tolerant teacher I could not have had in Silvio. I kept on asking him if he wanted me to find another instructor. He took me under his wing and I passed with flying colours, first time. Not only does he teach you to drive correctly but also safely. I thoroughly enjoy riding and would recommend it (and Silvio) to anyone. Silvio is a great guy with a great attitude, very understanding, and encouraging and most importantly a sense of
humor. I'll see you in a year for my R license :)

I have a message for all the females out there who are considering getting their motorcycle
license...as daunting as it may be initially, if you find an instructor that you feel comfortable with, and you listen to and take on board everything they say, you are sure to increase your confidence and skills in no time!
I was extremely fortunate to discover Silvio, who I trusted to help me develop the skills and knowledge necessary to ride alone! I began lessons for my RE
license (250cc) with Silvio earlier this year, my only past experience being occasional rides on the back of my father's motorbike.
Yet in addition to making me aware of the dangers associated with motorcycle riding, Silvio put me at ease immediately and gave me very clear instructions and extremely valuable tips right from the word go! I always trusted his professional
judgment in determining when I was ready to progress to the next stage and finally, when I was ready to take my test!

WHAT YOU NEED TO DO
Before you learn to ride a bike you need to obtain a learner's permit
from any licensing centre. It is advisable to study the
drive
safe book to enable you to complete the required theory test. To assist you with the general questions access the DPI
website (www.dpi.wa.gov.au/licensing)
where you will find some sample questions.
What to wear:
Long sleeves, long pants and closed shoes.
R-N - you can apply for an R-N class learner's
permit at 15 years and 6 months of age (with parent's permission).
R-E – you can apply for an R-E class learner's
permit at 16 years of age and take your practical assessment at 16
years and 6 months and then take your hazard perception assessment
at 17 years of age.

immediately after passing your R-E assessment but not take the R
class assessment until one year after passing your R-E class.
