For most new riders who complete the Pre Learners course, getting on a motorbike in the days and weeks that follow can be daunting. For many riders all their good intentions can go out the window at this point, and some never get to realise their dream.
Dealing with traffic, changing gears, learning how to hill start, slow riding, cornering safely are all skills that need to be practiced and developed.
That’s where we come in with one on one training that gives you the very best start. Tailoring the training to exactly what you need to work on helping you find your feet and your confidence fast.
Sessions range from those looking for confidence before the pre learner training e.g. what to expect, to training and support sessions in the days and weeks afterwards when getting out of the driveway can be a scary thing, all the way through to getting you P Plate ready.
