how about discounts for manchester bikers members..... or rather their 16yr old son? lol

Hi kev, I'll buy you a brew, but Sorry £95 is as cheap as we can go keeping the students to a 2:1 ratio. Most bike schools use a 4:1 ratio of students to instructor and still charge more. We feel the students suffer valuable attention needed, especially for provisional licence holders! To save you or your sons innitial outlay we provide helmet, gloves, jacket & trousers for the day.

Cheers for the enquiry

Thanks, you've been favorited for when i get some money saved up.

Hi, thanks for choosing us!
Hope you've had a look at web-site. If your interested in doing the DAS course, it would be advisable to get your theory test done as soon as possible. If you get this done before the CBT, then we can book a Practical test and some training a lot quicker for you!

Helmet, gloves, jacket, trousers and of course motorbike & insurance will be hired to you, at no extra cost to the training..

Cheers

I already have a CBT

OK, didn't see the picture of the CBR before, very nice!
Have you done your theory yet? How long have you been riding now? We should be able to put you straight on a 500. Couple of evening or half day lessons & your test. Your probably looking at about £240-300 (inc practical test fee)

Cheers

8 months or so, every day as i have to commute.

If you book an evening lesson with us, we'll get out on the road on a 500cc bike and see how your getting on, give you some advice and a quote for training. As I said, getting your theory passed asap is a good idea as we have test dates available, so could book your test and course there and then!

Cheers

Are the theory tests done at your place? How long are they valid from if i don't pass for a while?

RoadRider · Posted: Thu, Jun 28 2007, 23:57 Rating: Post subject:

No you do your theory test at your nearest theory test centre (your local town), theyre valid for 2 years. You need to phone the DSA on; 0870 0101 372

Our nearest in Manchester is 111 Piccadilly. At the bottom of the station approach of Piccadilly train station

Isn't it too expensive for per day.If 2 or 3 friends or cousins get enrolled in your school then you will offer them a discounted rate or the price will be the same.

Hi Geffry, Sorry mate but we don't offer discounts! We are the cheapest and best school around. If you think our prices are high then check out the other local bike schools! I teach because I love bikes not because it pays well, we make little profit as is.

If you do find cheaper then I assume you will find out why, with the quality of bikes and tuition.

Biking isnt cheap, you gotta be passionate!

Well the guy at one of our local schools gave it up (i'm guessing because of this new test thing coming up) so theres only 1 near me now and they want £450 for a 2 day course and test. For the same at your school i believe it's £340? I like the idea of riding the supermoto Smile

i need to get the money first but i need to get it done before this new test comes in. With the way it's looking now i'll have the test done but i won't be getting a bike for a while.

I have heard of you - im sure one of the lads i know that knows you (Didz) gave me your card a while back for my mate?

RoadRider · Posted: Wed, Jul 23 2008, 17:20 Rating: Post subject:

Yea Goff I know Didz, good bloke!

Hi Kaiser, the £450 you've been quoted from that other school would be 2 days DAS with the test on the 2nd day. Our £340 is 2 full days and a test on a 3rd day/morning.
The guy that closed is as you say fearing the worst from the new test.. It's not the test itself thats the problem, its going to be availability. There's not even a Manchester site yet! The DSA have totally messed this up!

Ive also heard that 99% of yor students pass their test first time.........nice going Wink

Yea you are right,you have to be obsessive and when you are going on a fun, money doesn't worths.

Kaisar · Posted: Fri, Aug 22 2008, 20:37 Rating: Post subject:

I take it after September you still offer training? Just not the test.

RoadRider · Posted: Tue, Sep 22 2009, 17:03 Rating: Post subject:

Hi Kaisar, did you ever get your test done?

A lot of people rushed to get their licence before this new 2 part test came in in April.

If you havn't done it yet, don't worry the new test is not a problem.

I'll give you a discount if you still need training

Kaisar · Posted: Sun, Nov 01 2009, 15:18 Rating: Post subject:

Did it with you last November, passed 2nd time, the dreaded U turn, even though i don't think i ever put my foot down in training the nerves got to me.
