Motorcycle Training Motor Cycle Trainer Instructor Instruction

There are many facets to the motorcycle world. Bikers enjoy motorcycle racing, touring(in this country and abroad), rallies, bike shows and many just ride for fun. Many bike riders just see a motorbike as a means of commuting but hatever your motives for riding a motorcycle, you will need to aquire the appropriate licence and undertake some form of motorcycle rider training - this is where 1st Gear can help.

Whatever bike you may be thinking about, be it a 'twist and go' scooter, a commuter bike, cruiser, custom bike, sportsbike or tourer, 1st Gear have the appropriate training course for you. All our instructors are DSA approved and have many years motorcycle training experience on all sorts of motorbikes.

Compulsory Basic Motorcycle Training (CBT)

CBT is a course of compulsory basic motorcycle training which must be completed before a learner moped or motorcycle rider is allowed to ride unaccompanied on the road with L-plates, (D-plates in Wales). CBT was introduced in 1990 to help reduce the very high accident rate among inexperienced motorcyclists. This motorcycle training course has five elements.

When all five elements have been satisfactorily completed, a certificate of completion, called a DL 196, is issued. Once you have your certificate you are advised to take additional training to pass your theory and practical tests and qualify for a motorcycle or moped licence. You must take the DL 196 certificate with you when you present for practical test.

Training for Full Motorcycle Licence

O.K. so you have passed your CBT and can now ride your moped or 125cc motorcycle on the road unaccompanied with your 'L' plates on. You can't carry a pillion passenger and you cannot use motorways. So what's next? A full motor cycle licence, that's what! The advantages of having a full licence are huge. It opens up a much greater choice of bike, in terms of size, engine capacity and types of bike available. You can use all types of road, including motorways and you will also be able to carry a pillion passenger when you want to. There are two types of motorcycle licence to aim for and several ways to achieve them, depending on your age and requirements. Full details on our main web site.

Advanced Motorcycle Driver Training

We offer a range of further training courses which will fulfill all your riding ambitions. The Driving Standards Agency, Road Safety units, Police forces everywhere and the Motorcycle Industry generally recommend that we all take further training beyond the motorcycle test.

We can offer a top-up course which will cover things like motorway riding, riding at night and all the aspects of riding which cannot be covered by the pre-test training.

Want to gain a higher Motorcycle riding qualification?

We can train you to a level where you can pass one of the recognised tests offered by ROSPA, IAM and other organisations. This will give you the satisfaction of achieving a recognised advanced riding qualification and, in many cases, a discount on your insurance.
