These guys are great at what they do and saw me through my A licence from CBT to Mod 2 (with zero faults on my mod 2). My thanks go out to John, Jan, and Jim, the training was superb and you are truly lovely people.
I’ll likely see you all at the Copdock Show (on my Ducati 😁).

John and Warren were absolutely amazing. Before today I’d never ridden a bike, I had no confidence, no clue what I was doing and by the end I’m raring to go and want to go get my full license. The time and patience these two had with me I can’t even put into words. I’m so so grateful for all of their help and would recommend them to anyone who is wanting to get out on a bike on the road. Thankyou both so much your absolute angels 💕

I did a CBT at this place 2 years ago with John, very charismatic fella very welcoming, understanding and gives you every chance to amend your mistakes and learn from them.
Today I did a CBT with warren and I have nothing to complain about the same applies to him as-well, stand up bloke who just wants to see you succeed and will give you constructive criticism to enable you to be a better rider, good banter and great atmosphere, even with people who are less confident and capable with their riding abilities. Warren took time off his lunch just to coach someone else who was less confident in order to make him more comfortable riding. 10/10 place couldn’t recommend it enough.

My two sisters and I did our CBT training today with John and Warren and we had a brilliant time! The guys are amazing, they are GREAT instructors – attentive, knowledgable, warm, funny, firm (haha) and just all round great people. We felt at home with them the moment we met them. We’ve had a brilliant day, lots of information has been absorbed and I can’t wait to go back to complete the full licence. Thank you both so much! X

I did my CBT with John & Warren and they were amazing !! explained early on I’m an anxious person and they completely eased the nerves.. they explained everything in a fun and easy to understand way and the whole atmosphere was relaxed and friendly. Can’t commend them enough. Warren was great out on the bikes and made me feel so confident in my riding. 10/10 would recommend especially these 2 blokes ! X

I have just finished reading this book
As a retired police officer and instructor at Camrider NDI, I’ve spent many years focused on rider safety, mindset, and professional standards.
Remember You’re a Rider genuinely struck me on both a personal and professional level.
Claire Jones completed her DAS course with us and passed her motorcycle tests through our school, so I’ve seen first-hand her commitment to development and growth as a rider. What makes this book so powerful is that it reflects that journey, honest, reflective, and grounded.
The message is simple but profound: no matter our experience, qualifications, or confidence level, we are still riders. Human. Fallible. Always learning.
The book challenges without preaching and encourages genuine self-reflection — something our industry needs more of. It reinforces that mindset, humility, and accountability are just as important as machine control and technical skill.
For instructors, advanced riders, and anyone serious about developing not just their riding ability but their awareness and responsibility, this is essential reading.
I would wholeheartedly recommend it.
