Motorcycle Training news, from 1st Class Rider Training – Cardiff.
A busy busy day at Norms today. He’s running a Bikers Boot Sale Jumble. Loads of bikes and a bargain or two. A good day for handing out leaflets and cards. My two Direct Access students are taking a break and admiring the bikes.
It’s why we are ‘1st Class’! Instructors Jeff, who is a serving Class 1 Police rider and RoSPA Advanced Test Examiner, Andy, RoSPA Examiner and RoSPA Diploma holder and Anthony an Advanced Bike Tutor for the RoSPA Group. Also all DSA certified Motorcycle Instructors. The RoSPA Diploma is recognised as one of the highest teaching qualifications for Motorcycle Training. 1st Class Instructors for 1st Class Rider Training.
Are you a Gold or Silver Rider? Then put yourself in the picture. The local RoSPA group is looking for suitable riders to be trained as Observers and Tutors within the group. We are holding a meeting for interested riders to come along and find out what’s involved. Letters will be going out to all those on the Gold or Silver list. If you don’t get a letter let me know and I’ll get details to you. If you think you have the skills and that you can offer this to others, we want you.
Enjoying the Autumn Sunshine. Gareth & Hywel on their Big Bike Step Up Day today.
The New edition of ‘Care on the Road’ the RoSPA newspaper is out. Pictured here is Martin, from Guernsey (in the yellow jacket) who has just passed The RoSPA Diploma in Motorcycle Instruction. Congratulations to him. Martin trained with 1st Class Rider Training and achieved his Gold Advanced Rider status before attending the Diploma course. A big well done to him. The RoSPA Diploma is a qualification to a very high standard indeed. Thinking you’re good is one thing…. But knowing you’re good is so much better.
Newport Test Centre today during training. Bart has his test next week but Mark had a slot and we gave it a go whilst we were there. He passed with no rider faults. That’s 1st Class.
A Direct Access Step Up Day. First time on the 500s for Owen and Mark. Both loving the bigger bikes.
