Just completed my CBT at Cam Rider Ipswich, with two very awesome instructors John and Mike. I had no prior experience riding a motorcycle or driving a car (other then a few lessons many years ago). I started on a manual and fell off the moment I began to move so I carried on the day using a moped. There is a lot to take in so using the moped definitely gave me the confidence I needed. After a successful ride on the road with John we headed back to the test site and I was given the opportunity to have another go with the manual and I found it so much better. Big thank you to John and Mike for being such cool dudes. I’d highly recommend Cam Rider and will definitely be going back to see them when I’m ready to book my full Bike test. 🤙 lots of love from one out of the two Chloe’s 😎

So being a female first time motorcycle rider I was very sceptical about riding a bike. But I was greeted by a very polite gentleman called John which did settle the nerves and he was not judgemental of my lack of experience and was open and honest about what to expect and what he could change to make me feel more at ease. Despite the weather (was quite wet and windy as the day went on) John was patient, polite and even cracked a joke now and then which helped. The headsets they use were of good quality and John gave good clear instructions throughout the training and then out on the road. I had such a positive experience and really would recommend CAMrider to all. Thank you so much guys and ride safe!!!

I passed my DAS course here a couple weeks ago with Steve and Jim, both were super genuine and knowledgeable guys. The whole course had a really relaxed atmosphere, really focusing on making sure you’re safe and comfortable on the bike. Highly recommend!

Had my CBT today with Jon, honestly couldn’t be happier. He was very reassuring and made sure I was fully confident. All went smoothly and I’m very happy with the result. Would definitely recommend CAMRIDER to anyone looking to do their CBT😁

What a lovely guy John (the trainer) is. Really nice guy, very knowledgeable, absolutely puts you at ease. Did my training today and feel confident to take on the challenges of two wheels. Can’t speak highly enough of their guys. Thanks John, thanks Camrider!
