Apologies, but one of our email accounts has been hacked and generating SPAM. This is actually not from our IP address so there is little we can do about it. It appears that we were not alone in a hack that harvested various contact details via Talk Talk. Please do not open any attachments and once again sorry for any inconvenience.

Every week we are running advanced training courses whereby riders develop their machine skills, make them safer as well as providing training towards obtaining an advanced qualification. As motorcyclist are vulnerable, so reduce the odds by getting properly trained.

A prestigious car dealer has just purchased a fleet of Bandits which he is selling at or around trade money. For further details contact Alan http://www.ncs.me.uk/

With any of our courses should a rider wish to take an advanced test, then their development towards this has been a service we have always been able to offer and incorporated into the day. With 80% of our instructors being advanced examiners, we think we are in a strong position to offer that level or help and guidance that will maximise riders performance on the day. More recently there have been requests from riders that have been trained at a ‘club level’ who have requested our help as a final preparation prior to their test. With that in mind we have now created a half days training where riders can clarify any concerns, have practical instruction, observe a demo ride and complete a mock test with feedback based against the actual test standard. The cost will be £80.

  To avoid situations like this.

Sunday 22nd May is the first scheduled ‘Pit Stop’ of the year, which is part of the Hugger Road Safety Scheme supported by the Safer Essex Roads Partnership. The initiative is aimed at engaging with motorcyclist and subject of their training needs, offering a variety of courses that they could consider to make them a safer rider. Most of these courses are either heavily subsidised or free. These include Bike Safe, Better Biker, Advanced Machine Skills or Advanced Training to name a few. Police will be in attendance, stopping the riders and there after I’m involved in the rider engagement and directing them into the best scheme for their needs. This was very popular last year with some pit stops getting over 100 riders signed up for additional training. This Sunday, the venue is the B184 as you exit Leaden Roding, Essex, which can be a popular biker route. There are 5 more pit stops scheduled later in the year at other locations. This is a great scheme aimed at educating & training riders and hopefully reducing biker accidents in Essex.
