You will be welcomed and introduced to the course and how it will run.

You will discuss Motorcycle Clothing and the Highway Code.

You will be introduced to the bike/moped that you will be riding along with its controls and you will be instructed on how to use them properly and safely.

You will learn how to pull away and stop safely, you will get used to riding the bike and how it feels, you will learn how to use Slow Contol, how to brake properly using both brakes in different conditions and how to change gear.  You will get to practice some simulated junctions brining all of the skills together into one neat package.

Your instructor will discuss with you some of the inherent dangers that we all face each time we go out on the road and what we can do to mitigate the dangers.

You will also discuss some of the legal requirements and resrictions that we must all conform to so that you are properly prepared for what you are to do next.

Providing that you are in agreement with your instructor that you are ready to progress onto the road, then you will be hooked up with a radio and you'll be out on the road with your instructor with you on their own bike.

The road ride will take 2 hours+ and will encompass different types of road situations.

When you get back your instructor will provide you with some constructive feed back and if you have met the required standard you will be issued with your CBT Certificate.

Knowing the rules of the road helps you to stay safe around other road users and also how to make the best possible progess for the conditions.

Get a copy of the Highway Code and read it well.  Its also available for free on the Internet

We will provide you with the equipment that you need to ride a motorcycle safely but you will need to dress with safety and the prevailing weather conditions in mind. You should also bring some sturdy footware if possible.

At some point during the road ride, we will be stopping at a local cafe for some lunch.  This helps to give you a break and refuel your body, its a long day, and this allows you to think of some questions to tax your instructor, but unfortunately the food is not free.

Instructors always like it when you ask questions, it show's that you are concentrating and thinking.

Don't worry if you think its a silly question, we've heard lots of those, it may just help you find that vital piece of information that you require.

If you can make us laugh as well, all the better :)
