About time I said hello.

[Mark_Able]

Hello mate and welcome to WB.

I know about 3 or 4 people here at work wanting to do their bike license (once the army let's them have some time off).

Do you cover the Bulford area?

We're based in Trowbridge now, so as long as they can get to us, we can look after them. Although we can't discount CBT's, we're offering a £50 discount for members on ANY full licence courses. We're cheap(!) anyway, but this just makes us very cheap... [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Hello Mark

Didn't train with you but my wife Pat did and you got her through it.
First met you about 20 years a go through Kev the BT engineer.
Is Les still working for you, as I haven't seen him around for a while?

Cheers Kev

Hi Kev (Tiny!),

Good to hear from you. Les gave up to look after his son, who was going through a few problems at the time. The current crop of instructors are me (Mark), Lee, Freddie, Nicko, Jamie, Rob, and we're just training a newbie, Garry.

incidentally I can watch the CBT being done out my bedroom window since I moved...often get woken up on a Sunday by the sound of the bikes (which doesn't bother me in the slightest being an early riser AND a biker hehe)

James, you're always welcome to come over for a chat... [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

P.S. Do you have anything for short people to learn to ride on????

Tina ;D

How short are we talking Tina? We've got Yamaha YBR125's and Suzuki RV125 'Van Van's. They're fairly low, but some still struggle. Also, we use Suzuki GS500's for Direct Access (DAS), and not many under 5' 4" can fit on them. If that's the case, you might want to consider getting your own bike for DAS. :-/[/quote]




sounds like i may need to pop up and try a couple on for size....there is another girl who wants to learn too so we both might have to pop up as we were hoping to go thru the training together.....fingers crossed [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

[Sue_Boyce]

Go for it Tina, if I can do it anyone can!!!

You're both welcome to come along any saturday or sunday morning while the CBT's are going on, and try the bikes for size. Our training school is at Clarendon College, Frome Road, Trowbridge, BA14 0DJ. The guys are normally on site up until about 12.30, then they hit the road for the afternoon road session. You might have to do a bit of hunting around to find them, as we've got three training areas licenced for CBT's within the college grounds. There are two to the left when you go in the main entrance, and one right up to the rear of the swimming pool. Let us know what you think... [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
