What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

MCMotorcycling - Safer Rider Academy earns consistent praise for the calm, methodical coaching of Mark, who is named in nearly every account. Riders returning after long breaks, complete beginners preparing for CBT and experienced motorcyclists all describe how he first gauges their standard and then shapes a session around specific goals. Customers in several reviews describe gains in slow-speed control, including tight circles, U-turns from a standstill and filtering through stationary traffic without putting a foot down.

A point that comes up often is the clarity of his explanations of motorcycle control technique and how it translates into real riding, with nervous learners noting that his patient, encouraging manner quickly settled their nerves. Reviewers frequently point to the detailed feedback and written development plan supplied afterwards, alongside the friendly and professional tone of the whole exchange. Cornering confidence after a long absence from riding features in the feedback, as does the Enhanced Rider Scheme, with short-notice assessments arranged and routes chosen to be challenging and enjoyable. Value for money and the ease of booking are also noted, and the practical on-road work leaves riders more assured.

Exceptional. Mark very kindly arranged a short notice ERS assessment for me. The observations he made were spot on and the feedback and advice he gave was sound and will definitely make me a safer and more confident rider. Lovely guy, loads of experience and great service. Highly recommended.

Excellent slow speed riding session with Mark. Booking and finding the location was very easy. Mark assessed my riding level to start and then tailored the session to my needs. I particularly wanted to focus on riding in a tight circle and doing a U-turn from a stationary position, both of which improved in the session. Mark also gave me a written report with an ongoing development plan. It was a lot of fun and great value too.

I have been riding for almost 30 years. My bikes have been naked, last one was a speed triple, and I wanted to upgrade to something with more weather protection. I bought a 1200 triumph tiger a couple of years ago and struggled getting used to the size and weight especially when slow riding. I discussed my needs with Mark and booked a Sunday session. The 2 hours spent slow riding were brilliant; he pointed out where I could improve, gave practical demonstrations and the feedback was just right. I managed to improve my slow riding and U-turns. He sent me a training programme which I am using. I recently went on a tour or Ireland and using the skills taught made it a more enjoyable and safer experience. I’ll be booking another session next year.

I wanted to improve my slow riding skills and generally gain much needed confidence pre-CBT, being a complete beginner. Mark’s calm, encouraging, friendly, professional approach was incredibly helpful and instrumental in helping me achieve my goal. I am very grateful and would recommend him wholeheartedly.

As an older rider I wanted an assessment of my riding skills to ensure I was still a competent and safe rider. My 3 hour session with Mark was well managed - he was a good communicator, knowledgeable and helpful so the session met my expectations. On top of that the route chosen was an excellent ride which proved challenging and fun

Mark was excellent for my enhanced rider scheme training; I was incredibly nervous but he put me at ease and gave me lots of confidence. I would recommend using him without hesitation.
