Motorbike training - Motorbike Lessons

Simply put - we aren't teaching you to pass a test, we are teaching you to ride safely for life! A high standard of motorbike training  and motorbike lessons shouldn't cost the earth and our course prices and pay as you go (PAYG) price structure reflect this. 

We want your motorbike training to fit around you, not you fit around us. We have methods, syllabuses and strategies to work with anyone who wants to be a successful learner and rider. To make motorbike lessons more accessible, and due to the cost of living increases we all face, our prices are very competitive and all safety equipment is available. We only use modern and very well maintained machines and high quality safety equipment. We recommend investing in your own helmet and gloves but we do have helmet and glove hire at £10 per day. All other kit is included - jacket and waterproofs as required. 

So, you are thinking about riding a motorbike but not sure if it is for you?

• £139 for a three hour session with kit and bike hire
• £99 for a three hour session using your own bike

The Rusty Rider course is tailor made to your specific requirements but can cover filtering, slow speed control tidy up, country roads and bends, town riding, delivery / courier rider training, advanced riding techniques or simply a pre season warm up to brush away the winter cobwebs. Get in touch to discuss your requirements and we can work together to get you where you want to be.

We understand that every trainee is unique, in fact all our training is totally customer led and ALL ABOUT YOU which is why we offer customised motorbike training options and motorbike lessons to meet your specific needs and goals. Often an assessment session will be recommended with a view to keeping your costs down - for example if you are an experienced rider you may need less training and a course would be charged 'pro-rata'.
