I completed my CBT training with John. Really good instructor, made me feel welcome and at ease as this was the first time of riding a motorbike. John’s teaching ability, his vast experience and knowledge gave me a lot of confidence in understanding my strengths and weaknesses.
Safety was right up there on the day both off and on the road.
Even as car driver 85% of the time, this course has made me appreciate the presence of motorbikes on the road.
Well worth attending and I would definitely recommend CAM Rider.

Jon was the instructor and an absolute star. He’s very patient and knowledgeable and has a great way of delivering the course with a great sense of humour and a really lovely way of imparting his experience and knowledge. Really put the two of us completing the course at ease and without pressure to get everything correct.
I cannot thank him enough and he is a real credit to cam rider. He’s someone with a true conviction/vocation to helping people/riders. A real biker and someone who goes the extra mile.
Well done Jon, you will be getting people from my/our circle of friends hopefully taking up training with you moving forward.

Highly recommend CAM rider Ipswich. I completed my CBT with John and it was a real pleasure. The day is progressive and you won’t be asked to do anything until you are comfortable with the previous steps. In the space of a few hours you can go from never having set foot on a bike, to someone who is confident — and safe enough — to ride on the road. John is a brilliant instructor capable of putting your nerves at ease with his sense of humour and professional instruction.

Yesterday i passed my CBT it was great I was the only trainee as the other person didn’t turn up. I couldn’t of asked for a person to train me than John he went through everything I needed to know and had the patience of a saint. There’s so much to learn and the course is intense at times but we’ll worth it.
Thanks John for helping me with my confidence to be a great biker chick.

CAM Rider in Ipswich were excellent today. Our instructor John was very good at explaining and demonstrating everything clearly and concisely with much appreciated humour and patience. The new Yamaha bike I used for my test was comfortable, manageable and easy to handle. To confirm CAM Rider’s high reputation, one of the other riders being tested had travelled from the West country.
