Please read the General Rules carefully and do not hesitate to ask any questions if you have them.
At our Club you will be able to learn the skills necessary to ride and control your bike. Not only do you ride Minicross in Minikhana, you also learn and ride skill based events which will develop your skills while you ride, making you a better rider.
Minikhana clubs cater for males and females from beginners to experienced riders from 4 years and up, aboard motorcycles in 50cc, 60/65cc, 80/85cc and 100/,150Rcc categories.
PARENTS PLEASE NOTE:
ALL PARENTS are required to assist on riding days. If a parent does not assist it may result in their child not participating for the day.
NO RIDER IS TO BE LEFT AT THE CLUB GROUNDS ALONE. Without parents there is NO riding.
We hope you have a safe and enjoyable time with our club and experience the thrills of motorcycling with your children.
