Now that you are hooked….what’s next?!
Time to get a free annual Recreational Licence…send your recreational licence application into MQLD within 30
days of the Come and Try Day to receive your insurance/ licence into all practice days, coaching and recreational
rides all over Australia.
If you are ready to race you may apply for a National Competition Licence.
A full competition licence entitles you to ride recreationally and also race in Club Days, Inter-Club days and
State/ National rides.
For seniors you will need to complete a competency test or hold a queensland drivers licence with a R or RE class
included. You can complete your basic competency test with one of the Officials represented by our club.
Juniors will need to complete coaching before obtaining a Junior National Licence, and when they want to step
up to a bigger bike. (This is excluding 50cc - DIVISION 1 riders- They do not need to obtain coaching to start in
Motocross) On this page you will find the information needed to gain a competition licence for a Junior.
New Junior competition licence applicants- Kick Start
All first time junior riders wishing to take out a competition licence (including a One Event Licence) must first
undertake motorcycle coaching called Kick Start. The Kick Start Program involves both a Practical Riding Test
and Multiple Choice Theory.
The Practical Riding Test and is made up of 12 modules that a new junior rider must complete and have signed
off by a coach. A rider can take as much time as they need to complete the required coaching modules and
they may even conduct the test over a number of days or weeks and have instruction from different coaches.
Coaching can take a minimum of five hours, or until the coach is satisfied that the rider is competent
Kick Start assessment must be completed with a minimum Club, Level 1 or Level 2 coach. Please contact your
club for Kick Start coaches.
The multiple choice Theory Test made up of 25 questions on the basic rules and regulations of motorcycle
sport. The answers to all 25 questions are located within the "Kick Start - Getting Started In Junior Motorcycle
Sport" booklet (available from your coach). The completed multiple choice Theory Test and Practical Riding
test must be signed off by a coach and returned to Motorcycling Queensland with the licence application.
Cost to attend a Kick Start assessment
It is recommended that coaches conducting the Kick Start Practical and Theory assessments must not charge
more than $30 per rider. There is no set fee for coaches who are conducting coaching for higher capacity bikes.
What if I have completed Kick Start and want to upgrade to a higher capacity bike?
Riders wishing to undertake the necessary coaching to renew their competition licence or step-up to a 125cc 2
stroke or 250cc 4 stroke must complete coaching with an accredited Level 1 or 2 licenced motorcycle sport
coach.
Hours must be completed under a Motorcycling Queensland coaching permit and all riders should ensure that
hours completed are noted in their Log Book. Log books can be applied for from MQ .
Motorcycling Queensland will conduct 'spot checks' to ensure that hours signed off in the Log Book are part of a
permitted coaching day. Where hours have been signed off that are not part of a permitted coaching day,
penalties will apply to both the rider and the person or coach signing the Log Book.
Junior Coaching Program - Competitor Log Book
Once the licence has been approved and the rider has completed of all competency requirements, the junior
competition licence applicant will be forwarded a Junior Coaching Program - Competitor Log Book.
The aim of the Log Book is to improve safety for all junior competitors by having them maintain an up-to-date
record. Junior riders must present their Log Book along with their competition licence at all race meetings and
coaching days. Log Books can only be issued by State Controlling Bodies such as Motorcycling Queensland.
Download a log book application from MQ.
One Event Competition Licences for Club and Interclub events
Junior participants who want to
participate in a meeting by taking out a One Meeting Competition Licence must have completed Kick Start and
have been issued with a Log Book. Download a log book application from MQ.

Current Mini Licence holders wishing to upgrade to a Junior National Licence must first complete Kick Start and
be issued with an updated licence and a Log Book.
