Confidence Riding
If you are a new rider or not, sometimes you may lack or lose confidence in your own ability. I would be happy to work with you in which ever area of riding that you may think (or I may identify) you need help with in particular slow riding, urban riding or even riding abroad (there will be extra cost incurred - sorry).

IAM/RoSPA Preparation

If you have signed up for an advanced test and want to see how far away from a pass mark you are, I would be happy to assess your current level of riding and advise what areas you may need to develop to attain that pass mark you’re aspiring toward.(If preparing for a RoSPA test this will include POWDDERSS checks).
(Course Ref: MP)
Pre-Test Check Test
Just prior to your advanced test I would be happy to put you through a mock test scenario to ascertain any final adjustments or development you may need or just to give you a flavour of what your about to let yourself in for prior to the test itself.

New Motorcycle Upgrade
Just bought a new motorcycle? Are you familiar with its power and handling characteristics? I would be happy to familiarise you in using your new motorcycle in any way you wish. (I am not trained to assess on track days but they can be arranged through a third party at your own expense).
(Course Ref: MU)
Night Riding
If you are a new rider or not used to riding at night, you may benefit from exposure to this particular area by an assessed riding lesson taken at night. This can be tailored to your specific needs.
(Course Ref: MN)
Motorway Riding
Again, if you are a new rider or not used to riding on motorways or fast roads, you may benefit from exposure to these particular areas of riding and the course can be tailored to your specific needs.

Enhanced Rider Scheme

The DSA Enhanced Rider Scheme checks your motorcycle riding skills and provides training to help you improve. There is no test.You’ll first have a riding assessment in different road and traffic conditions. The ride will be long enough for me to make a good assessment of your skills. For most people this is 1 to 2 hours.If this shows you don’t need more training you’ll get a ‘DSA certificate of competence’ straight away. Otherwise, you’ll get personalised training to improve your skills in the particular areas that you need development and get the certificate at the end of your training.The DSA certificate of competence gives you discounts with most motorcycle insurers.
