Fantastic school brillient guys, passed my RAS course in 3 days instead of the originaly estamated 5 and couldnt have done it without the aid and advice of Nath (SAFERiDE Instructor) will def be following up with the advanced riders course and in jan 2013 i will be taking the accelerated access. HIghly recommend them to ALL!!

Thanks guys

Nuff Respect to you guys,Excellent step by step training from Drew,even found a helmet big enough to go over my Dreadz ;-) See you when I come back to take it to the next level...Stay Blessed

What a great set up Nathan has at Saferide. From taking my CBT through to passing my DAS I have felt safe and secure in the expert instruction given by the team. At no time did I feel exposed or stupid as we just worked step by step through exercises which became the passport to passing my DAS.

This guy is seriously good if you are looking to ride a motorbike.

Thanks Nathan

Passed my test today with these guys, absolutely fantastic bunch of people. Cheers!!!!!!!!!!!

Passed my DAS last Thursday. Great training from Drew on my CBT and Nat over the 5 days of DAS training. Had never riden a bike before going to these guys so wasn't confident at all but enjoyed every minute

A really enjoyable and well paced DAS course. Plenty of time spent covering what you need to know for your test and more. Being able to practice on the Module 1 test ground and test routes proved invaluable. Plus there was the delightful experience of riding a Triumph Bonneville for a few days...

Thanks, Nathan!

Thanks mate.  All I can say is everything came right on test day. Thereafeter, enjoy and ride safe

best regards

Nick

A big thank you to Nathan for getting me through my Module 1 and 2 DAS test today on one of his lovely Triumph Bonnevilles. The intensive 5-day course gave me the confidence to pass first time. Highly recommended

Cheers

Ian

From your 125 Suzuki to my Street Triple, via your Triumph Bonneville in 24hrs! Excellent training day with Nathan despite the rain....great advice all round, will certainly recommend SAFERIDE.

Thanks again.

i took a cbt course with drew and thoroughly enjoyed it. there was a lot more to learn than i had originally thought but drew made it all interesting and funny, and the only downside was the beautiful weather which made the protective gear somewhat... damp. thanks - i'll definitely be doing my DAS with you lot in the future.

oh and remember to cancel those indicators!

Did my CBT yesterday with no experience on a bike. Really enjoyed it and learnt alot from Drew. Thanks very much

Many thanks to Nathan for great tutoring leading to me passing Module 1 and 2 Direct Access. Having never ridden a motorbike before (just 4 months riding a 125cc Vespa) I was quite apprehensive at first with the 865cc Triumph motorbike, but with Nathan's patience and perservance my confidence soon grew. Everyting was fully explained and any areas of weakness were covered over and over again until my mistakes were ironed out.

I would recommend Safe Rider for both CBT and Direct Access training.

Regards,

Phil

Thank you very much for the time and effort into making me a Safe Rider Nathan & Drew I feel alot more causcious on the road then ever! and alot safer Passed First time no problems on either module :) Thanks alot nathan and drew!

Just finished my DAS with Nathan and passed 1st time thanks to his expertise and patience, i thank you very much.

I would recomend Saferide to anyone considering doing there CBT or DAS as it is a very professional firm.

Thx again Nathan and happy days

did my cbt and RAS with drew and nathan and had an amazing time, even naming a roundabout in my honour. Would recommend saferide to anyone wanting to learn to ride

I took my CBT with Drew and Nathan at Southwick and had a great time, came away feeling confident but more importantly how to ride safely, they were also very friendly and full of advice. I would definitely recommend them to anyone beginning or returning to riding, overrall excellent.

was a great laugh with the crew and riding a nice Triumph street triple 2011. very good riding instructors well worth the money. hope you guys have as much fun as i did.

I would like to thank Drew for his Professionalism, patience and advice on my CBT. I would advise anyone  who needs to do a CBT to use this company. Thanks again for all your help. " Happy Days"

Professional, patient, helpful and caring people. I have been through all sorts of training before but this specific experience is the outstanding one. Fantastic week at the centre and I passed both Modules first time. Very happy about the price I paid and the training I received.

Highly recommended.

I was so lacking in confidence when I arrived that I could hardly get on the bike, but in five days Nathan and Drew gave me back my confidence and taught me everything I needed to know to pass the test and to ride safely. AND it was fun!

Highly recommended!

This Training School? - It's professionallly run, competively priced, with no hidden extra's.

The Training Experience? -  Nathan and Drew took from near novice to a full licence in five days.

Did I Enjoy It? - Yes, it was great and we had a bit of fun too,

Oh, and remembering to cancel those indicators - There's always the 'bling,bling....bling,bling...' procedure to keep up there in your head.

Hello and thank you for a fantastic DAS course. The only problem is now I have to save up a lot longer for a bike, since you introduced me to your street triples!

From the first phone call to safe ride, to every wrong turn i made in training, my four days training and test were great.I passed first time, which would of been impossible with out the help of great training. I wouldn't recomend anyone else.

It was great fun, got straight on my cbr the same day as the CBT, cheers guys.

Hi There,

Just wanted to say a massive thank you to the Team at saferiders. I thought from administration right the way though to the actual training day (Sun 15 May'11) was absolutely suberb. Special thanks to Drew who led the training. Drew covered everything in clear, concise details, building confidence all the way through, he was fun to be around and made us feel completely at ease. The road riding was probably the highlight of the day. I was surprised how safe it was! It was an incredible day and my wife Mel will be booking up soon :) Thanks guys I will recommend you to anyone that is even thinking about a CBT! Thanks Drew keep up the good work!

Perfect combination of advice, encouragement and criticism. Thanks for getting me my licence.

Thanks for a great training day yesterday - it was my first time on a manual 125 but the instruction was very comprehensive so I felt confident. Now looking forward to buying a bike, practising and then doing the test! Will definitely recommend Saferide. Thanks Drew and Nathan,

Tara

2 Days training one day test...best three days ive had in a good while! never felt pressured loved it!thanks saferide! :D

Best training I could have hoped for - I passed part 1&2 yesterday thanks a million Nathan for all your guidance, instruction and advice  - your a top bloke and excellent instructor.

Good luck

Jonny

Many Thanks Drew & Nathan. Excellent Training.

Great information, knowledge and delivered with absolute clarity.

Haven't stopped looking over my shoulder all week!

Best training I ever had! clear instructors, good explanation of the ins and outs of riding and I got the certificate in the end too!

Money very well spent I would recommend Saferide

love you. thank you so much. a good two days and pass both tests jason

I passed my motorbike test yesterday with saferide, I did the DAS with Nathan who was a brilliant instructor, very friendly and very knowledgeable, past first time round, very happy, I'd recommend saferide to anyone who wants to learn.

went out on CBT yesterday and Drew was fantastic and patient despite my tiredness and nervousness. Very dedicated people and both extremely hadsome!....

Went out on the back to biking course with Nathan, was a great day and very useful, would recommend to anyone, thanks again!

Mark

Did my CBT and then DAS with Saferide in five and a half days and passed my bike test first time. A great week - Nathan is a clear and calm instructor who inspired confidence in me.

And I got to see a lot of cafes I never knew existed! All in all a really good experience. I recommend Saferide. See you all at Brightona...

Carl from Brighton.

Hi Drew,  I just wanted to drop you a line to say a HUGE thankyou! Your calm and positive attitude to teaching goes a long way.  Being nearly 40 and the first time on a bike, it didn't come naturally.  Not like my 16 year old nephew (who passed first time).  Thank you for your patience, you've been great! Here's to hopefully coming back to do my full bike licence, once I have the riding confidence is with me. Cheers Alison (and nephew Liam).

Thank you fantastic training would never passed without your training 5 days no experience on motor bike now full licence cheers

Hello

I have decided to elaborate on the C.B.T traing from the Saferide team.

From the start at 8.30am the instructor was very informative with information from detailed info on the Motorcycles we were using for the days training.How to look for faults when buying a Motorcycle.

The instruction given through out the day was very much worth while, from training of the road to the instructor advice and info out on the road.

I look forward to passing my course and test with Saferide.

Kind regards

Colin.

Just like to say a big thankyou to Nathan. Nathan is an excellent instructor i would recommed him to anybody that was about to take there full test top bloke!!!now to get my yamaha xt660 x on the black top!!!

Thanks again kevin

What can i say about these great instructors that hasnt been said already, if your thinking of doing just your CBT or going the full hogg with your DAS as well then look no further than here...

Happy Crimbo guys and a great 2011

Mark

Its been a long journey and thanks to you i finally made it! i will miss the early mornings, the cafe lunches (especially the one in which i was serenaded) and the whole experience! Thankyou so much Nathan and everyone at Saferide you're incredible!    Happy christmas !!!!!!!!!! x

Many thanks to the school.  Drew for the CBT and Nathan for the DAS. They really get you ready for your test so after the big day you wonder why you worried in the first place.

Highly recommended. Nathan is a superb and friendly instructor. He really increases your awareness and trains to high standards. His style meant I passed first time with two minors....I was nervous as hell and had not ridden for five years after only previously having CBT/125cc experience. Very Highly recommended and top bloke. Thanks again Nicky x

Hi I would like to say a big thank you to Drew, my instructor for my back to biking day I did on the 25Th of Oct. The man has the patience of a saint and I learnt so much that day, I feel so much more confident on my bike now. I really wish I had come to you guys earlier. I would really recommend you to anyone. When I came to you I was about to give up riding altogether I'm so glad now that I didn't.  Thanks again Tracy

I have just passed my CBT and Direct access with saferide.  Nathan is an excellent instructor. Great people skills. Got me a pass first time, Can't recommend highly enough.  Would love to do it again just for the cafe visits!

Thanks for the training Nathan, I passed my test on the day my CBT ran out, even though I missed 1out of 2 figure of 8's on the Mod 1 (Must be some kind of achievement?). After a few weeks of looking around, I bought myself a K1 GSXR 600.

Thanks again Craig.

Thanks for an excellent day's training Drew, great fun and made easier by your confidence building.   Have now bought a CB1000r.

Good luck!

Laurence

1 day CBT with Drew followed soon after by 5 day Direct Access  with Nathan. I really enjoyed both courses, clear but friendly instruction by both resulted in a first time pass.

Guys you were the business reccomend to all without hesitation!!

Just like to say a big thankyou to Nathan, in the space of 4 days he taught me to ride a bike on the roads, safely and pass my test. Worth every penny and i would recommend that you book your course with Nathan if you are thinking of getting your full licence. Thanks again, Lee

Hi Nathan

Just like to say many thanks for your help, assistance and guidance at various stages of my bike training.

Passed today - YIPEE!

Now, Honda CBR600 or Triumph Daytona 600 ??

Hmm...

Gerry

I would just like to say a big thank you to Nathan (& his team) for not only offering a free session to enable me to judge whether my desire to become a motorcyclist was worth chasing but also for their very friendly, polite & helpful dealings with me whilst booking & trying to find them by bus!

Nathan was a very patient tutor & answered all the questions I had (even those not relevant to my session)! I am now going to save up my pennies to attempt my CBT & following that (& more saving) my advanced training.

I would highly recommend this company to anyone as they really do focus on the safe side of biking, but especially anyone like me that has dreamed of owning a motorbike but didn't know if they could handle one!

Nathan - thank you thank you thank you! I will be back!

Ana

Went to SafeRide having no previous experience of riding a bike but Drew was a fantastic instructor, taking it step by step and making me feel perfectly comfortable while pushing me to learn at the same time.

Fantastic experience and I would recommend to anyone. Drew's a fantastic guy!

Jonny

I've just had a Back to Biking day course with Drew and would like to say a big thank you to him for his excellent instruction. He covered everything and more, and I still hear his voice in my head as I ride down the road. I learned so much in that one day and would highly recommend this course to anyone returning to biking or who hasn't had any instruction for a few years.

Thanks Drew for a thoroughly good experience worth every penny.

As promised!

Absolutely fantastic..

Drew was confidence building, and very patient...

I had a lot of fun which is very important for me, for someone to have a sense of Humour! Especially not getting frustrated when I am!

Thank you very much for all your time and effort.

its all about the instructor!!!

FANTASTIC! THANK YOU

This is a well overdue thank you to Drew who was extremely patient with me and helped me pass my CBT. Cheers mate, couldn't have asked for a better instructor!

a big thank you to Nathan and crew at safe ride all is well and im back on the road after 4 days of having my bad habits taken away and replaced the correct way to ride on public roads eg the only way thanks again and look forward to seeing you all at bobs place all the best and i will recomend any one that wants to train to come to saferide. All my best  Andy E

Just over the first hurdle instructed by Drew and i gotta say ive learnt so much from yesterday it was rammed with helpful tuition, ive done a CBT with another local training centre 2 yrs ago but this was so much more intensive. So i doff my hat Drew and all @ Saferide, Nathan i'll hopefully see you very soon after i get my theory done, and to anyone in future training with Drew dont even bother asking to use the loo or observe lovely ladies and give a hoot on the road, we never had time!

Cheers

Thank you Saferide for helping me pass my CBT!!!! Drew............ you're an absolute legend x

Amanda

Just passed My tests today!!!

I had previously never ridden A bike on the road before, but Nathan managed to get Me through both tests first time in 5days!!! I dont know how, but He did haha!

I highly recommend them!!!

Would just like to say a big thanks to Nathan for getting me through my test, he certainly pushes you to get it done. So thanks again

It's been over a month since I completed the CBT with Drew and Nathan. I'd been bikeless for 25 years - before CBT was around - so I turned up to the Brighton College site to re-enter the world of two wheels. I now have a bike, and have been 'safely' driving past the off-road training site on my commute every day. Good to see Drew training up the next batch....

As well as myself, a long time 'ex' biker, my class included a serial CBTer (4th CBT after another 2 years without a full license), and a just of- age legal newbie. It could have been difficult to teach riders of these different abilities and experience, but Drew's straightforward delivery was both accessible and in no way condescending. My faults, there were many, were quickly identified and I was given the 1to1 attention to quickly put me right.

At the end of the day Nathan put us through our paces out on the road - and he followed the same high standard expected of us. I swear I heard is voice over an imaginary intercom as I picked up my bike from north London and drove back to Brighton three weeks later!

The wife was a little anti me getting onto two wheels - but now she's jealous of the big smile on my face as I come home every night. She even want's me to take the full test so I can take her ***ion, so you might see me again in the near future for the full training.

Cheers,

Peter

Just a quick note to thank Nathan for a providing excellent, friendly, firm and fair training.  After passing the CBT course back in January I pootled about on a 125 for six months before deciding to take the Direct Access course.  I passed the Direct Access on 06/08/10 and can't recommend SAFERIDER highly enough!

I have just passed my CBT and Direct access with saferide and am pleased as punch. Nathan is brilliant at his job and i'm glad i went to saferide. Great people skills says it how it is, no messing and he got me through.

Thank you so much

Having just passed my CBT with saferide I wanted to say how happy I was with everything.

Drew trained me for the day and he was a really nice guy,really helpfull,he spoke very clearly and to the point,was very very relaxed with us which was great seeing as ive never even been on a motorbike/scooter before.

Thanks very much Drew and saferide. :)

How did anyone ever ride safely before CBT? A day of very hard work made easier by the confident, patient and authoritative instruction from Drew. Not got a bike yet but when I do I'll be imagining the instruction over the radio link providing reassurance and firm but polite correction when required. As long as you are willing to work hard, the course is enjoyable and the price seems very reasonable considering everything is supplied.

Direct Access,

Nathan is a hard task master but he certainly gets results. Thanks for working your magic.

What can I say guys?

After not suceeding the first time around I attempted a second, and did it!

I would like to thank everyone at Saferide for making this scary experience a little less so.

Jo in the office, Lee on the end of the phone both with reassuring words of wisdom, Nathan for being so reasonably priced and being a reminder of my past and of course the amazing Drew!

What an amazing bloke, so clear; concise and thorough and getting me through for the second time!  This man derserves a Gold medal!

Thank you all so much and I will definately be recommending you and your Wisdom!

Tara

I would like to take this opportunity to convey my huge thanks to the team at SafeRide. Yesterday, 26/07/2010, I took and passed my CBT, and it was one of the most intense and yet enjoyable days I have had in a long time.

I was all set to take my CBT, 7 years ago. But we found out that we were going to have a baby, so it was a case of nappies or petrol. But time has now ticked on a bit and I was ready for another crack at taking my compulsory basic training...

Drew was the perfect teacher; knowledgeable, thorough, humorous, patient  and crystal clear in communicating to you what you need to be doing and when you should be doing it... "Indicators James!" will forever be echoeing through my skull. Although that's probably something to do with me having my radio turned up too high!

I just wish that I had taken Drew up on his offer of a lift home, at the end of the day, as after waiting for a bus back to Newhaven for 20 minutes, one finally came along and the driver said "you're not bringing that on", whilst pointing at my helmet! (for my head).

... Happy, I was not. But nothing can dent my enthusiasm and gratitude for Nathan's team at SafeRide and I thank you all very much for giving me the opportunity to explore another world on two wheels.

Hopefully see you soon for my Direct Access,

James.

Im guna tell u a story, i passed my test 20 years ago but stupidly lost it, to many points so now i'm doing the mid life thing. I was going to get my licence back, and to start all over again.

What can i say about Drew, just a great friendly bloke, he knows his stuff so with drews training i passed the CBT

I did my DAS with Nathan, he booked the mod 1 test center for a practice session, not all training schools do that, it was a masive help when i came to doing my MOD 1, i passed the MOD 1test. Onto MOD 2 with nathans firm instructions and i was now confident, yes i passed and got away without buying his lunch LOL.

I now have my full licence back, and ride a yamaha virago 1100

Big THX to Nathan & Drew at saferide.

Alan

Thank you to Drew today for your help and excellent instruction which got me through to passing my CBT. Your skills and knowledge, I am sure, commands a very high salary!

Thank you again. Look forwarrd to meeting again for the full bike licence.

Phil

Just passed CBT with Drew and Nathan, you guys were fantastic :)

Thanks for all the help, I massively recommend you to anyone! From never riding a bike before you were both very patient and professional.

Hopefully see you soon for more training !

Hannah

I have just passed my C.B.T Thanks to drew , he's very patient and explains everything clearly.  I was worried i wouldnt be able to do the course due to the fact of being hard of hearing and having to use hearing aids. My worry was put aside after a chat to Nathan. I will recomend SAFERIDE to everyone. Thanks guys.

i have just completed  5 day DAS course with Nathan and passed both Module 1 and Module 2 at the first attempt. Nathan is an excellent instructor with a wealth of knowledge and lots of patience. Nathan also went out of his way to accommodate my specific training needs and always responded to my numerous pre-course email questions in a timeous and thorough fashion. I highly recommend Nathan and SAFERIDE.

Stuart -- passed  DAS 30/6/10

Had a brilliant day and passed my C.B.T. thanks to Drew, he's a star!  Very patient and puts you right at ease.  Can't wait to take my full test now. Thanks guys and hope to see you again soon Dxx

Thanks Nathan, top bloke, from initial assessment, training, getting me to the test centre, all spot on - brilliant!

To anyone else reading this and thinking of training, I had already completed a DAS course with another training school and failed miserably, with three different instructors all with a slightly different technique left me confused and disillusioned. After a break I started looking again for training and found Saferide via a web search, armed with a greater sense of my own abilities I had a spot on assessment with Nathan who quickly picked up on my failings and delivered this news all with an understanding but no nonsense approach. We quickly agreed what was needed and communication was excellent to get all the paper work in place.

Training and instruction was delivered in a concise and practical manner much of this out on the road (no sitting around drinking tea) that left me confident to deal with all that I would encounter, and excellent preparation for the test.

I felt confident and well prepared when going into both test elements which had a profound effect on my riding during the examination.

The whole experience was both pleasurable and light hearted at times, four days spent riding bikes in good company with a test pass at the end….great!

Thanks Guys

Was a fun and informative day thanks to Drew, he was real patient with me and i feel i have learnt alot

thanks

hey cindy here! sorry ive taken so long! children, they keep you very busy! wanted to say a great big thank you for everything. you were very professional and easy going i will definately recommend saferide to anyone! never thorght i would pass first time so thank you.  ps, i havnt forgotten to pop by to show you my harley D. take care

If you want to pass your test, well then Nathan at saferide is your man he's fantastic. What he will teach you and if you listen you will pass first time like me and carl did. Now i am back on the road thanks to Nathan, not only an instructor but a friend thanks nathan top man. Cob will see you soon ta , ps carl has now got a daytona 600 , and my r6 yeh lets go rev!

I have just passed my Module 1 and 2 with Nathan from Safe Ride, Nathan is a great instructor with a great teaching method and friendly, easy going attitude.

The whole 5 days of training was great fun and worth every penny.

I passed first time time, three months after doing my CBT... Highly recommended!

All I need now is bigger bike.

I've just completed my CBT with Drew. It's been almost 10 years since I've ridden, but his calm and patient manner enabled me to recollect past training and experience and bring everything up to date in practice.  He was able to bring out the best in the more mature learners as well as a novice on my course.  I would strongly recommend his training to all prospective motorcyclists.

I had a back to biking course with Drew this week. Its been over 20 years since I've been on 2 wheels and i'd recommend it to anyone in a similar situation. I learned loads and had a lot of fun doing so. Drew was a great instructor and made it fun aswell as safe. The radio contact was a really good idea and made it easier to get the hang of road positioning and those all important life savers he kept nagging me about! Thanks Drew and thanks Saferide. A really good experience.

Oh how great it is to be back on the road after 30 years. Did my CBT last August 2009 and now I have just done the A2 licence on my own bike. The 500cc was just a bit too heavy for my short legs and I was more confident on my 125cc. Passed thanks to Nathan and all his nagging. He put me straight a few times and like what has been said before there is just straight talking with Nathan. If you do good he will tell you and equally if you mess up you will know about it. Thanks mate Looking forward to a bigger bike and no nagging.

Thanks a million.  Good thing I had the retraining - I clearly needed it.

Drew is a wonderful instructor calm and encouraging; (or brave and with nerves of steel).

I really enjoyed myself - highly recommended!

Ros

Passed yestarday the CBT! Thank you very much for patience!  Great training, very professional. For sure will be back for DAS =)

Bart

I did my DAS with Nathan, great course and great fun. Excelent few days made easier by outstanding training. Passed both module 1&2 first time with clean sheets on both.

Many thanks to Nathan and the team.

Highly recomended training school.

Tom Morgan

I did my cbt with Nigel who was a good teacher then two weeks later did my Direct Access with Nathan, passed my module 1 and 2 first time on 30.03 very wet, windy and cold day. And I never had riden bike before SAFERIDE training.

Thanks Guys!!

Jacek

Nathan, and Drew, showed remarkable patience good humour and persistence in encouraging me to see the error of my ways! And, in going on and on .....and, on......Nathan got me through CBT, Module 1 and the Practical. Miracles can happen!. Thanks Guys. I would recommend you to anybody.

Massive thanks to Nigel and Drew for their patience, insight and sense of humour. We never realised how much we were going to learn in the short time we spent with saferide. Not only was it informative and eye-opening but also a whole lot of fun made true by the excellent attitudes of the instuctors on the day. Can't wait till we come back and go for our full licences'.Thanks so much guys, recommendations to all our friends and everybody else.

Thanks to Nathan for all his patience and flexibility whilst test after test was cancelled due to the ice and snow. He still managed to find me test dates that fitted in with my complex shift pattern even starting at 06:30 am on my final test date. (Truly heroic in sub zero temperatures ).

The training was constructive and concise from Nathan and I also had an excellent days training with Doug. In short a top school with good friendly people who care a lot about there work and even more about the safety of there riders. Loving life on my Gsx600f.

Thanks very much Nathan and Nigel !!!! i really had a great time despite the weather on a couple of the days!

I did my cbt with Nigel who was a good teacher then two weeks later did my Direct Access with Nathan, passed my module 1 and 2 first time!! and had a good time in the process, Nathan is a very good teacher with good social skills, i learnt a lot and was under instruction, but it always felt like a good day out with your mates for a ride.

again thanks Nathan

cheers

Mike

THANX NATHAN AND DREW FOR YOUR PROFFESIONAL TUITION PATIANCE AND UNDERSTANDING. ANYONE NEEDING TO LEARN THIS IS THE PLACE TO COME TRUST ME YOU WONT GET BETTER.

THANX AGAIN TO ALL YOUR TEAM MARTIN.

As a biker  from the early Beatles era, I thought I should have some proper instruction as I am now occasionally riding a bike in my retirement. I chose the coldest and wettest day of the year, but Nathan made the course fun, and I learned an enormous amount. I may now think about graduating from my Honda CG125, although I will continue as a mainly fair-weather biker. Nathan is observant and noticed all my bad habits after our initial ride. However, his instruction is delivered in a very constructive manner and he has a wealth of knowledge.

Thanks Nathan!

Special thanks goes to Doug who stood in for you and put up with both me & Jacko and some of the worst weather we’ve had all year.

2nd bite at the cherry required after my little accident during training and the failure of Mod 1 last month. Sailed through this time.

Bike runs like a dream – Catch up with you one weekend at the training site.

Cheers

Chris.

Passed my test on the 11th of nov. with the help given i passed both modules 1st time. At the beginning of the lessons i thought i would str***le but the training was brilliant. I strongly recomend 'saferide' to anyone lookin to do their test.

Thanks for the help.

Got my full licence yesterday! Feels amazing and can't wait to go and buy my bike!

I trained with Nathan from scratch: CBT and DAS, would highly recommend him as an instructor and here's why:

Nathan took me from knowing nothing, to being a safe, confident rider by building skills not only in handling the bike appropriately, but most importantly in planning, observation and anticipation so that I can be as safe as I possibly can be on the road, and really enjoy riding.

Nathan will not sugar coat his assesment of your skills. If he feels you need to work on something, he will tell you straight, and when he tells you you've done something well, you will know that he really means it. Nathan will guide your development as a rider, so that you will know how to assess your own riding in the future, and will be confident and safe on the road.

I improved every time I went out on the road with Nathan and that is because he won't just spend hours and hours on test routes so that you might be able to fluke your test (as I had heard some instructors do), he trains you to become a great rider on ANY road, at ANY time, for life.

Cheers Nathan, see you when I get my CBR600! Rich Harvey

I did my CBT on the Sunday and trained all week with my mod 1+2 tests on the friday. Absolutely brilliant training all week.

Nathan was great all week, i would highly recommend saferide for everyone!!!

I passed my DAS course first time within 5 days thanks to Nathan.

It was a tough week but Nathan is a great instructor and i would recommend Saferide to anyone.

Cheers Nathan! :)

I had an A2 licence(restricted to 125cc) and i did an Accelerated course with Nathan,

I had been working as a motorcycle courier for about 5 years so i had picked up a lot of bad habits. After  1 day training with Nathan I passed my module 1 and 2!

Great guy & makes learning fun and easy!

I would definitely recommend learning/training with Saferide

Nathan took me through my CBT right through to get my full bike licence.

Couldn't have asked for anymore from an instructor! Made me feel safe and completly at ease whilst on the road. Any issues you may have while learning Nathan makes sure are ironed out till you are 100% happy.

Once again thanks Nathan!

Just completed a refresher course and thoroughly reccommend Nathan to anyone thinking of getting back into biking after a long absence. Nathan was patient and focussed. He quickly spotted my weaknesses and got me to work on these repeatedly. I am now confident enough to get on the bike I bought a couple of weeks ago and start riding again.

Thanks Nathan, I really enjoyed the day.

Hello,

Done CBT on the Sunday, then DAS Tues, Wed, Thurs and test on Friday.

Passed both, cheers Nathan!

One word of warning for any of you taller people who may want to do your bike lessons...  Nathan finds it highly amusing for you to sit on the 125cc as it looks like a minimoto!!

When you've passed, don't forget Nathan will by you breakfast/lunch :)

Once again thanks Nathan, keep up the good work!!

EDITED by Nathan:

No! he wont buy you breakfast/lunch :-)

I dreamt of riding motorbikes since I was a young child, thanks to Nathan at Saferide I have now achieved this, passing first time with a clean sheet.  Nathan is a great instructor who is firm but fair. He certainly makes it clear if you make a mistake but also helps you to stay relaxed when things get a bit intense and is easy to get on with.  Had a great time from start to finish, i would truely recommend Saferide.  Thanks Nathan.

I can't recommend SAFERiDE enough! The website is the most informative and easy to use of all the local schools I found and was one of the few with transparent pricing and facilities for online booking.

Most importantly though, Nathan is a fantastic instructor. He's patient, quickly identifies your weaknesses and makes you work and work and work on them until they are ironed out.  It may drive you mad at the time but it really does the trick! I had a real issue with right turns but by the time of my module 2 test, every one was perfect. Do anything silly and potentially unsafe and he won't hesitate to tell you in no uncertain terms. You won't do it again!  He also tells you when you've done something well that you may have been str***ling with, which is a real confidence boost.  He reviews your progress at various points during the day, which reminds you how far you've come since the CBT and helps you focus on areas for improvement

It's a real personal service at SAFERiDE. You are made to feel very welcome from day one, taken to some great lunch spots rather than petrol stations for sandwiches, and given first class instruction.  I enjoyed my lessons so much that after the initial elation of getting my full licence, I didn't really know what to do with myself for the rest of the day!

Thanks Nathan!

Thank you for a great days training, thought the CBT would be a waste of money, but how wrong was I?!

Highly recemmended Instructor, thanks again.

Graeme.

Nathan

Thanks for my CBT training & pass.

Looking at all the other messages you are a top instructor, now proven to me after my days training. 

More funding now required, for my full course later this year.

Regards

Chris

Hi folks

Recently passed my test at the first attempt after a CBT and 4 days of training with Nathan, and absolutely no other experience with bikes - which I think is good testament to Nathan's ability as an instructor!  In terms of my natural talent for riding, I couldn't turn off my indicators, control the clutch or do a U turn to save my life, but Nathan managed to iron out the creases with minutes to spare (!) in advance of my test.

I had a great experience learning to ride a bike, despite the tropical weather (we fried) and the annoying headphones which don't let you answer back when you're getting told off for being an idiot on the roads!  Challenging for sure, but great now to have the opportunity to pop the girlfriend on the back of a bike and take off into the sunset!

Thanks, Nathan, and best of luck with the school.

Last ridden a bike about 18years ago on L plates, I took to the basics quite quickly. however by day 2 i was thinking, "do i want to ride a bike? perhaps i'll just pass my test so i can say i've done it" after practicing for part1 on day 3 i felt i might not even pass!

Nathan has a few tricks up his sleeve (i won't tell you them now, you'll find out) and i passed part 1 with a clean sheet, although i did almost fluff the parking by trying to park the bike on the examiner!

part 2 i passed with one minor. that was something called 'meeting' which didn't surprise Nathan :-). the ride back was wicked and i really felt like i knew what i was doing, it all seemed to come together. you'll probably get fed up with him telling you off through the (annoyingly) one way headpiece, but stick with it and he'll make you a biker.

i'm hoping to get a job in Eastbourne - not the kind of commute i want in my car...so Bandit me thinks... 

cheers Nathan and Good Luck reader!

The bike looked best on its side ok!?

Still, when it was upright, it got me through the tests with some great instruction and teaching, much obliged for your patience Nathan!

Tip to all: (this he'll tell you) He doesn't like repeating himself to the extreme, so when you're foot's still hovering on the back brake, or your indicator is still going off from 3 roads back, or you're doing 40 on a 60mph road again.... he eventually stops reminding you.... this leads to considering what he's not telling you and you remember! amazing!

cheers again Nathan, im chuffed, see ya soon with my vfr 400!

Thank you Nathan. Passed my module 2 today after failing first time as I stupidly forgot to cancel my indicator light on the road back into the test centre... DOH!

My first time riding a motorbike was my CBT. Then after 5 days training, I passed my module 1 first time and my module 2 second time.

Nathan was an excellent instructor, very patient. Sometimes harsh, but very fair... in other words, i deserved the kick up the backside.

I would highly recommend Nathan as anyones motorcycle instructor.

Thanks so much, passed my test yesterday.  Nathan was fab and just after 3, 3 hour sessions had increased my confidence by 100% and got me through the test.  Would highly recommend Nathan as a trainer, good sense of humour and very patient!!

Passed 3 days ago and bought my bike 2 days ago!

I had ridden a bit in the past but really learnt loads with Nathan, Did Monday to Friday and passed both parts first time, even though I did do my own take on a figure of 8 and completely went off course! 

Love being out on the bike, any excuse to go for a ride and im off!

Highly reccommend him!

Well what can i say, great instructor and top bloke. I was one of his last students to do the old test and pass with only 4 minors. I would highly recommend him to anyone wanting to learn to ride.

Thanks again for all your help

i found nathan in the friday-ad. a really nice friendly person. i booked a cbt course, then a 3 day direct access. if you want to learn to ride a motorcycle properly & safely then nathan's your man.

thanks again for all your time and effort , helping me pass my test first time.

had a mad week with Nathan starting with the cbt one day then 2 days later had the theory test then the next day had my practical and passed thanks to a lot off hard work and a good trainer

thanks mate and keep up the diet lol

glen

Well what can i say about nathan. Makes a good cuppa tea, a great down to earth guy who will tell you when you do something wrong. But is one of the nicest guys i have met................ Ok thats the £20 of arse licking lol

Great instructor and would recommend him to any new rider or even someone who just wants to refresh on what they know.

Cheers Nathan cant wait to go out for a ride and see if you can keep up :P

...after 3 weeks of kicking myself for going the wrong way up a 1 way street first time round, (still can't believe i did that) Nathan got me through with a faultless pass.

Can't recommend him highly enough, a quality instructor and good bloke to boot. My other half's looking forward to meeting him for cbt.

Cheers nathan, be seeing you.

Did my CBT and then 2 days training for the A2 motorcycle license with Nathan.  Passed the test first time with a clean sheet.Really impressed with the quality of training, knowledge and attention to detail.

Excellent instructor who gives you lots of confidence and good advice.Cheers Nathan.

Big thank you!

Did my CBT and a 3 day intensive course with Nathan for my full motorcycle license.

Before this I'd never ridden before in my life so to pass with only 2 minors was a great relief and achievement.

Nathan gives you the right training, knows what he's talking about and I'm confident that I'll be safe on the road.

Hi Nat,

Just wanted to say a big thankyou for getting me through my DAS.

You're a great instructor and it is nice to be made so welcome and put at ease!

Many thanks

Steve

I want to basically write a small appreciation of the outstanding service you provided for me, thanks for getting me my licence (it arrived in the post a few days ago, and also a refund of the £17.50 which was a pleasant surprise) from the moment I emailed/spoke to you on the phone I was delighted with the service and assistance you provided, I always intended to do the restricted test but am delighted that not only have I got my full licence but I also got to be taught on and learn about bigger bikes. Once again thanks and hopefully see you out on the road sometime on me shiny new black bike.

Cheers

Dave
