Motorcycle training in Cambridge

Mark has been riding for over 35 years – he’s been a courier, toured around Europe and has a collection of at least 6 bikes in his garage – he keeps saying he’s not going to buy anymore!  He has been an instructor for Camrider since the end of 2020.  He rides a Suzuki DL650 for instructing and is known for his encouraging manner and enthusiasm.  His superpower is keeping his bikes clean – even in the middle of winter his bike stays immaculate! When he’s not instructing he spends time walking his two dogs, cycling and doing odd jobs for himself and his family.

Ben is one of our CBT instructors and has been working for Camrider Cambridge since July 2020. He currently rides a very red Triumph Sprint 1050. A gentle giant, Ben is known for his patience and his soothing voice over the radio. When he’s not riding, Ben spends his time searching for parts on eBay for his ‘fixer-uppers’ and trying to get them running again.

Matt started his instructing career in Bury St Edmunds, and transferred over to Cambridge when the branch closed. An experienced and friendly instructor, he has been riding for 22 years and instructing for the since 2011. He rides a Ninja 650 for instructing, and has a Hyabusa in the garage for fun. When he’s not riding or fixing his motorbikes he plays bass in a band and enjoys going out for good food when he can.

Vicky has been running the office for the last few years, having started working in the business with Luke in 2016. She will be the voice on the phone when you ring to discuss training – if you’re lucky you may see her on one of her rare days in the office as she mostly works from home, along with juggling the school run and the housework. In the spare time she has you will likely find her curled up on the sofa with a good book, or making a crochet blanket, and if she’s not there she’s in the kitchen baking delicious goodies to keep the instructors happy!

Luke owns the Cambridge franchise of Camrider, along with his wife Vicky. He is passionate about biking and road safety and his breadth of knowledge is immense. If you want advice on licencing law, bikes, mechanics or kit then Luke is the man to ask! He’s always had a passion for teaching, and is lucky enough to have been able to combine it with his passion for all things motorcycling. He has been instructing for Camrider for over 20 years now, is fully qualified and still keeps his hand in with instructing when he is needed. When he is not working you will probably find him in his garage tinkering with either his Multistrada V4 or his Panigale 1199s; if he’s not there he will be chilling out watching a film with his family or tidying up his tools! He also enjoys going off-roading occasionally on his Yamaha XT600.

Arron has been riding since 2014 and has been an instructor with Camrider since the beginning of 2019.  He is patient but firm, and will give you lots of great riding tips while you go through your training.  He currently rides a green Triumph Tiger 800, which has been well loved and well used, travelling to various places in Europe.  In his spare time he enjoys going for long walks in Thetford Forest, visiting zoos or going off-roading on his Yamaha XT600.
