Just read our testimonials, and google reviews. You don’t get a second chance so spend your money wisely.
If it’s ‘Motorcycle Training Cardiff‘ you are looking for…..you just found it.
1st Class Rider Training – Cardiff, for all your motorcycle training needs, ride outs, European Trips and more. CBT, 49cc Scooters, 125cc, Direct Access, 500cc 600cc, and up to an Accredited Advanced Test Grade. we are the ‘one stop shop’.
Here we see Jody & Hannah, the first two, 1st Class Rider Training students to complete a cbt on our ‘new’ scooters.
We have a fleet of five Piaggio Free 50cc ‘Twist ‘n’ Go’ Scooters and they are something special. A rare find of 5 almost unused Piaggio Free scooters from 1995. Never registered or used on the road and with only 200 miles on the clock these scooters are in pristine condition.
Having a larger wheel than many more modern scooters, this makes them more stable. Light and easy to handle they are perfect for starting off your biking life style on today’s busy roads.
Previously owned and used by Cardiff Road Safety Department, they had recently become redundant at the road safety centre and were looking for a new home.
We are thankful to the Road Safety Centre Staff for being given the opportunity to offer them a new lease of life, whilst still maintaining the primary use for them, as promoting Road Safety, and safe riding for life.
At 1st Class Rider Training we take our responsibility towards our students very seriously and we are pleased to be able to offer our students training on these new bikes.
Piaggio Free, 50cc Automatic Scooters…… cheap to run, cheap to tax, and fun to ride…. life doesn’t get any better than this. Just ask Jody & Hannah.
For Motorcycle Training Cardiff it has to be 1st Class Rider Training.
1st Class Rider Training are pleased to be carrying out motorcycle training in Cardiff on our new training site at The Sports Pavilion at Whitchurch High School.
It is a DSA approved site, approved for up to six students for CBT Training. Here we see one of our students practising ‘Wet Weather’ braking and emergency stops in the wet.
We can’t make it rain….but we can carry a bucket. We find that it is far better to experience braking in the wet, rather than simply having it explained. This takes away the fear factor and boosts the confidence of our students, and prepares them better for riding on the road. After all if you are motorcycle training in South Wales….it will rain eventually!
A full debrief is given at each stage.
It’s out now. The June 2011 issue of Motorcycle Monthly and it’s free. Filled once again with tons of bike related info, advice, articles, test reports and competitions.
Get your copy free from us at 1st Class Rider Training. Either pop in and see us when we are training, or grab a copy from one of our instructors out and about (probably very close to a bikers cafe somewhere between Swansea and Newport).
News, views and reviews. All good stuff. And it’s free. If you cant be bothered to get a copy at least you can read the front cover right here!
Join us on a ride out and I’ll bring some along.
Motorcycle Monthly… it’s exactly what it says on the cover.
New measures are being called for by French Ministers who want to see the introduction of regulations to make it compulsory for motorcyclists to wear ‘dayglo’ fluorescent and reflective clothing.
For some time it has been law whilst motoring abroad that you need to have a reflective/fluorescent jacket easily accessible in your car, to use in the event of an accident or breakdown on the road.
But now the new measures call for a step further requiring bikers to wear hi viz clothing at all times. As you can imagine this is being resisted by our biking chums from France and a call to action protest day for June the 18th has been arranged.
The UK Motorcycle Action Group (MAG) are in the process of arranging a UK response in an attempt to deflect the measures from crossing the Channel. The feeling being that if it becomes law ‘over there’, then soon it will be here.
Personally, anyone who knows me, knows that I wear hi viz out of choice but for it to become law, it won’t suit everyone. (Does my bum look big in viz….)
Biking fashion aside, another measure being called for is the immediate imprisonment of anyone caught exceeding the speed limit by 30mph or more. Currently in the UK anyone doing this is almost certain to face a period of disqualification, but the French are proposing to offer Bed & Breakfast too.
For further information visit the MAG web site, and whilst you are there, why not join up. They are fighting for your rights and we at 1st Class Rider Training are pleased to support them.
In the picture…. Motorbike, France, Yellow Jacket….. ‘Freedom’ (and an old French bloke going for a beer).
Ash Cloud…. What Ash Cloud.
Whilst fears rise for flight disruption due to the Icelandic Volcano eruption, please remember that 1st Class Rider Tours are not affected by this in any way.
