I did my direct access only 2 yrs ago so I did leave it a little late in life, but regardless of age the instructors are very friendly and helpful. The training area is great because you have plenty of room so you don't feel uncomfortable and allows you space if you were to make a mistake. Really enjoyed the training and would highly recommend them as an excellent motorcycle training school. Many thanks.

I was very nervous when I first went to do my motorcycle training but was soon put at ease as nothing was too much and got all the help and assistance that I needed that led onto me completing my main bike test. The instructors were very friendly, with a lot of patience but also fun to be around so made learning an enjoyable experience. Thank you Motorcycle Academy.

In Sept 2007 I decided to bite the bullet and do something I always wanted to do, After reading about The Motorcycle Academy they were best for me. After a few days of 100% commitment I had the licence I always wanted all I can say is many thanks to The Academy 1st Class.

I had never ridden a bike before I met the guys at Motorcycle Academy. There patients, guidance, encouragement & excellent tea making skills saw me through & after 5 days of training I couldn't believe I was the proud owner of a full motorcycle license. Thanks so much boys.

I didn’t know Darren before my DAS course, I’ve not been paid to write this and I’m not just writing it because I passed my test. I’m writing this because I thoroughly enjoyed the whole process. It took just 27 hours for Darren to take me from a total novice to a DAS success. Six hours for 4 days and a 3 hour pre-test-practice-warm-up-ride-thingy.

I started out day 1 at Thruxton Circuit practicing the Module 1 manoeuevres. I never once felt intimidated and nor was I patronised, if this is your primary fear then go get down to Motorcycle Academy, Darren takes all these fears away and reminds you that whilst riding is a very serious business, it is, like the bacon sarnies, to be enjoyed. Days 2,3,4 were out on the road doing Module 2 training, with more Module 1 training at the end of each day.

I felt protected throughout, Darren constantly rode to defend me from idiot road users. Using radio contact, his professionalism (with interjected humour/banter) guided me swiftly through years of his experience, which still echoes as I ride solo now.

The pre-test-practice-warm-up-ride-thingy left me more prepared and relaxed than I’ve been for any test/exam in my life. I passed first time. I’m proud to have been his pupil, will definitely stay in touch and urge you that if you are thinking about doing your DAS then give Darren a call, he’ll see you through.
