Great ride out despite the weather which was actually ideal as I was lacking a bit of confidence in the wet especially being a new rider. 

I would recommend SkilledBiker, relaxed nice ride out.

Had a day out training with Kev.

Very challenging conditions, excellent route.

Really took the time to listen to my concerns and professionally address to get me to where I wanted to be.

Highly recommended.

Bloody good laugh too!

Posted on behalf of my husband, who attended one of the SkilledBiker courses:

I recently went on the tour and test to the Scottish Borders.

What an absolutely fantastic way to spend 5 days!

Met with instructors Kev and Barry on day 1, they were both approachable, down to earth, and clearly full of motorcycling knowledge.

We took the ‘scenic’ route to the top quality digs, the Buccleuch Arms in Moffat.

On a side note, the Buccleuch Arms is highly recommended, very biker friendly oriented. They even helped me sort a puncture out on my bike the same day and get a replacement tyre. Staff, food, and facilities are top-notch.

This gave us a chance to settle into riding with the rest of the group, whilst Kev and Barry were able to get an idea of where each individual’s riding was.

Throughout the week, we split into smaller groups so we were able to have focused bespoke coaching, and despite at times challenging weather conditions, I grew in confidence throughout the week.

Whilst taking in the stunning roads and scenery the Skilled Biker team put together.

This culminated in finishing the week with a much smoother, more progressive, and systematic riding style and a RoSPA Gold qualification to show for it.

SkilledBiker are a credit to advanced motorcycling; genuine, knowledgeable, and highly skilled.

You get a lot of bang for your buck, worth every penny and more!

If you want some real professional coaching and feedback then look no further than SkilledBiker.

Kev and Baz were spot on during recent tour and test in Scotland.

Honest feedback at every opportunity and nothing held back.

Having only been riding for past 8 years was very inexperienced but their coaching and professional style can’t be beaten and got me to my Gold ROSPA riding award in 4 days.

To be the best, you need the best coaching and SkilledBiker is the best.

Thank you, will be back for more.

I’ve recently got back from the Scottish Borders with Skilled Biker.

I was undertaking the 3 day intense training to complete the ROSPA Advanced Motorcycle Test on the fourth day.

The training started on our first day en route to Moffat.

We were all immediately put at our ease with the riding, due to the excellent coaching which was delivered in a constant friendly manner.

The accommodation that was included in the package was nothing short of excellent.

The daily routes we took were stunning. And the company couldn’t have been better with a great group of like minded people.

This all made the whole experience incredible value for money.

I’ve been riding for 40 years but still learned so much on this course it was unbelievable.

And I’m really proud to say that I passed the ROSPA test at the gold level.

Can’t wait to go on another tour with Skilled Biker!

After almost 50 years riding a motorcycle and 44 on the highways. I thought I new it all.
One of my motorcycle friends suggested I contacted Kevin about some training .
Nothing was to much trouble for this guy, we decided that the best option would be Blue Riband Rider Award .

After riding and training all day I was awarded GOLD in August 2022.

Kevin gave loads of advice and suggested further training with IAM or RoSPA.

After months of training with Kidderminster IAM I went on Kevin’s Training Tour of Cornwall on return I had my test and Passed with flying colours.

Next was Kevin’s Tour training and incorporating a RoSPA Test all in Scotland .

Where to start!

Route instructions were given out on briefing each day, the days rides were absolutely fabulous with beautiful scenery and the transfer of Kevin’s knowledge and experience is second to none.

The Hotel was in the Middle of town with exceptional facilities for motorcycles. Garages cleaning and drying rooms etc and during the tour we were trained & tested by RoSPA and DVSA standards.

Everyone on the tour were tested by independent testers and all passed –  not down to luck but the training.

I cannot recommend Kevin highly enough no matter how much we think we know Kevin will always find gems of knowledge that will add to your riding enjoyment and safety.

Search no more.

Being an IAM Advanced rider, I volunteered for the most challenging test and was paired with Kevin, my IAM Masters mentor.

Kevin, a highly experienced and enthusiastically dedicated professional, guided me through well-structured sessions within a tight schedule.

Thanks to his expertise, I not only refined my riding skills but also successfully passed my Masters on the first try.

I highly recommend Kevin for his top-quality mentoring.

Alex – IAM Masters

***************************************************

Kev is truly a master at the art of motorcycle roadcraft and his ability to mentor and guide others is second to none. I

’ve had the pleasure of being guided by Kev in improving my own riding skill and style which Kev teaches with ease and with a generous helping of good humour along the way!

This makes learning enjoyable with plenty of laughs along the road…

Not only does Kev help to get you in tune with your machine but he also knows some fantastic roads and brew/butty stops along the way which makes rides out with Skilled Biker enjoyable as well as educational.

Highly recommended for those looking to ride progressively and skilfully and worth every penny.

Cheers Kev!

Brilliant and Bespoke training.

I fully enjoyed the day from start to finish and made improvements to my riding.

I would highly recommend SkilledBiker to anyone wanting to improve riding skills and to increase confidence.

It was refreshing to meet you earlier this year.

The training day that we completed was not only good fun but a truly memorable riding experience.

I really appreciated your relaxed and informative approach.

I have been training for almost a decade but still took several things away from our training day that I now factor into my everyday ride.

I can’t wait to get out with you again next year and look forward to a regular refresher.. safe riding with sincere thanks….keep me posted with the tours please.

Safe riding

******************************************************************************************

I had a full day of training from Kev and not only was the day thoroughly enjoyable, I learned so many things that have most importantly made me a safer rider, but also made me feel more confident which has resulted in me enjoying riding so much more.

Having only been riding for a few years, Kev was patient and tailored the day around my riding needs.
Kev is an excellent trainer, providing information, advice, guidance, reassurance and has a natural ability to help build confidence.

I have a lot more to learn and I look forward to booking more days with Kev to help enhance my riding knowledge and skills.

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Skilled Biker!

After two full day’s advanced bike riding sessions, I am now riding at a completely new level.

I feel that your consistent reinforcement of the IPSGA rules and attention to detail when explaining the concept has made my riding style uncomplicated and smooth which in return makes the bike feel settled and balanced.

The tuition regarding the information and position phases have given me a greater amount of time to assess hazards and plan multiple safe route choices!

Basically I now have the confidence to become a dedicated all year round rider not just a low mileage garage trophy owner!

These advanced riding sessions have already proved so beneficial to this autumn’s wet commuting conditions, I am now looking forward to more advanced lessons and moving up through my advanced certificates!

Many thanks Kev
