Riders Share will do a background check on you, but not sure what license/qualifications there are. Kijij is your best bet - I always see someone renting their CBR for the test. If weekend rates are too much for you, take a day off work and go during the week.
Thank you my friend, I think I'm going to do fine, I'm doing the course with learning curves to get the certificate, considering im skipping M2 and I want the certificate for insurance purposes.

Trials, I just booked from Riders Share. paid total 151.67 CAD for 1 day rental of a CBR300, with insurance included. After the test I'll come back and tell everyone how was the experience.
The insurance policy is crap and will leave the bike owner hanging out to dry if something serious happens.
If you are considering renting out your bike though this company.. please understand how little coverage you will actually have.
If someone gets hurt while renting your bike, or hurts someone else... You will be sued... and their coverage won't protect you.
OP... Do you mind posting up the part of the rental agreement that talks about the insurance you bought?
Is it different than what they have posted on their site?
From how it’s written, there are various levels of liability insurance that can be selected.
Insurance Policy
As a Renter (not Owner), if you decline our protection plan, you are liable for all damage caused during the rental . Owners are ALWAYS protected by Riders Share as long as they adhere to our policies, with no deductible. Riders Share's protection plan does not apply to gear and accessories rented through Riders Share; it only applies to motorcycles. We can, however, bill renters for damaged gear to reimburse you.
PROOF OF INSURANCE
COVERAGE IS ONLY VALID INSIDE THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND IN CANADA.
The coverage, provided by Crum & Forster, is as follows:
Effective October 3rd 2018:
Renters face deductibles based on the selected coverage at check out. Owners do not.
Limit for damage/theft coverage is lowest of Actual Cash Value or $15,000; amounts exceeding that are responsibility of the Renter.
Insurance coverages are limited to require motor vehicle State Minimums, with options for higher liability insurance limits during check out. Higher liability limits help protect you from costs associated with injuries or property damage suffered by others in an accident caused by you while operating the rented motorcycle. Damage exceeding the third party liability limits are responsibility of the Renter. Coverage applies to all states in the United States and Canada EXCEPT for vehicles registered in the state of New York. Coverage does not extend outside the United States and Canada. The deductible is paid by the renter; barring that, by Riders Share; not the owner. There is no passenger insurance coverage. Disclosure: insurance does not cover all financial risk associated with any motor vehicles use.
Document lots of detailed photos of it before and upon return,
you are on the hook for a lot of deductible if the owner wants to say you damaged something.
My brother rented a sailboat in Florida once and on his return home they told him his security deposit was going towards replacing a missing life preserver.
I don't know how MC places get insurance. I tried to get an insurer to provide me with rental insurance for a small fleet of bikes -- not even the high risk insurers would touch the subject. I think I called a hundred commercial brokers -- they basically laughed my ear off. One finaly quoted me, 12K per bike for 300cc max, min 12 bikes.
There are only 2 places I know of that have blanket insurance that covers bikes -- Mackie HD and GTA Exotics. Some bike dealers have dealer insurance, that's for test rides and loaners -- It does not permit rentals.
Thank you everyone for all the advice, I'm taking pictures and I'll ride carefully. I'm a good rider, I had an MT-07 for 3 years and a 125cc for another 3 years and never caused an accident in the TERRIBLE traffic in Brazil so I'm not going to cause any accident that's I'm in fault and I'll be the whole day with the course instructor so if anything happens he will be my witness.
