A Grand Day Out… But The Wrong Trousers! Well done to Jamie and Martin, pictured here at the Swansea Test Centre after passing their Mod 1 Bike Tests. The test almost didn’t go ahead for Jamie as the Examiner took exception to the quality of his trousers! A thick pair of combat pants and even an extra layer underneath didn’t satisfy the Examiner so off to the toilet together went Jamie and Martin. Emerging seconds later wearing each others trousers! Talk about a quick change. Jamie calmly went on to pass with a clean sheet. Great results for them both. And a big thank you to Martin for so readilly dropping his pants! The alternative would have been Jamie having to squeeze into mine for the test. A tall order eh? And we even had time for an Ice Cream down at The Mumbles Big Apple!. Cracking!

1st Class, 1st Time! Congratulations to Luke & Alex. All smiles here after passing their Module 1 Bike Test in Newport today at their first attempt. Alex returned with a clean sheet with a faultless ride and Luke picked up just 1 minor fault for a slight drop in his speed on the ‘speed recorded’ exercises. Great results for them and now looking forward to their Mod 2 tests to come soon.

Here is Jo, Michael & Gareth on their CBT on the weekend, practicing the slow control, figure of 8 exercise.

Smooth clutch control forms the basis of everything we do on a bike. If you can get this right then the rest is easy.

Why don’t you ride away…. the 1st Class way. From: http://www.facebook.com/pages/p/195837770466074

We’ve been about a bit today. First of all we popped over the Newport because Dave had to go and show the examiner how to do the Mod 1 test. With a great pass. Congratulations to him. And then we had to pop down to Swansea for Mike to demonstrate how to pas a Mod 2 bike test. Pictured here is a happy Dave. Well done.

1st Class Rider at The Big Apple….. We get about a bit. Here we are training at The Big Apple. No, not New York…. but THE Big Apple.

1st Class Rider at The Big Apple….. We get about a bit. Here we are training at The Big Apple. No, not New York…. but THE Big Apple… at Mumbles on The Gower. Kevin, pictured here on his Direct Access Training fancied an ice cream so we went to the Seaside! We don’t rehearse test routes… we’ll eat our way around to clock up the miles so you can learn to ride! Passing the test is then easy.
