Where is a good place to do my bike test?

[kez_kitten]

I'm going to do my cbt soon and then do my bike test as soon as i can afterwards, i live in salisbury and just wondered where people recommended to use, i know there is A1 to go to but i want to use someone reasonably priced and that are good instructors, not just one that happens to be up the road whether they are recommended or not, anyone know of any?! [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Did my DAS at Riding In Action at Wroughton airfield, both are nice blokes - and my missus spent last week up there too, doing CBT and preparing for her test (which annoyingly got cancelled because of the wind!).

thanks but i think thats a bit far down the road, was hoping to do it a bit closer to home.

Well the company I used are in Swindon so a tad too far I would say for you.

[Bubbly_Biggles]

As Igbell said Swindon maybe to far

I used Abbey Rider Training up by the dog stadium to get me through my CBT & recently my DAS. I've heared good things about both places mentioned

PS got a 125 for sale!! [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Mark Able from Trowbridge - excellent tutors with alot of patience! I took my test last year so can not help with what happens regarding where to take your test as I got into trowbridge test centre before it closed!
All the very best with whoever you go for - the freedom and acheivement is one of the best feelings :-)

i would HIGHLY recommend ART - Andover Rider Training, i;ve known the blokes for many years, they are tough on you but they get you through it, i passed with 0 minors, the matey i was with doing his test passed with 1 minor. very good training [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

[nicko600]

I know that price wise A1 charge £110 for a CBT and for three hour sessions £65 for 125cc or £95 for Direct Access training. The guys are good, I would recommend them.

[kez_kitten]

thanks ryan they sound pretty good and i know a1 have been recommended to me a few times and as they are probably the closest it will most likely be one of the two, thanks to everyone else who has made a suggestion, much appreciated! [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Another local one for you:

I did my DAS from Amesbury and took the test in Salisbury.

Got on very well with the team there and passed first time.

What I liked a lot was that they spent a lot of time in and around the test centre (that you start / finish from) and the test routes.

They will look after you well.

Good Luck.

I used Mark aswell ,had test in Chipp but they also do the test in Bristol ,depends on examaners

But oveall very good ,

I did my CBT and DA this year with A1 and got on really well with them and only had 6 lessons. I have also had lots of people recomend pheonix at Amesbury so either would be a good choice. Good Luck [smiley=thumbsup.gif] :)

There's Phoenix at Amesbury - heard really good reports about them or Devizes - The Bike School who were brilliant with me for myCBT. They charged 140 and it doesn't matter how long you take to train you can just keep going back until you pass.
