• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Need info on Ontario driving test

Ontario Motorcycle Licence

Assuming you do not have any Ontario motorcycle licence you will have to go through the Ontario graduated licencing system.

M1 - valid for 90 days Max. Written exam then a Road test gets you an M2
M2 - valid for a minimum of 18 months (you cannot get the full M licence for at least 18 months). Road Test gets you a M licence.
M - Road Test = Full Licence.

If you take any of the Road Tests on your Spyder you will receive an 'M' endorsement, restricting you to 3-wheels.

There are driving restrictions on the M1 & M2 licences.
More information on the MTO site here ..... Ontario - Get a Motorcycle Licence


Pick up the "MTO Motorcycle Handbook" so you can study over the winter. You will also need the "MTO Drivers Handbook" so get one of those too. When you go in to write your M1 test you will have to write a motorcycle exam AND the G1 car exam. Yes that's the same one the 15/16 year olds will be writing for their car driving.

The "M" Road test is the same regardless of a two or three wheel motorcycle.

I would recommend you take a motorcycle course on a supplied two-wheel motorcycle. Most training facilities have them. One evening of in-class and two days of riding on a controlled course. On the second day of riding they test you and you will receive your M2. The information you will receive over those two days will forever help you to be a better/safer rider. Georgian College in Barrie is now offering a Spyder specific course but I have no info on that.

Good luck, you will enjoy your Spyder.
