"I booked a one day course with Kevin to focus on cornering skills, slow control and emergency manoeuvres. I was very impressed with the whole thing, from the informative emails before the course, and the approx 1 hour pre ride online briefing, the day itself, and then the follow up online briefing (also around an hour) and assessments and follow up documents. Kevin is clearly a very experienced and knowledgeable rider and the advice and tips he gave me were very useful and informed. He also provides a radio link so he can direct the training in the ride. As well as being impressed with the quality of the training, I thought it was excellent value for money. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending him."

"A pleasure to cover the material with someone who clearly knows it so well, and who also cares about the subject. The course managed to pack an awful lot of advanced material into the time. I'll be working on applying the lessons for a long time. You'll be at the top of the list when I want a refresher course, or if someone asks for a recommendation”

"Enjoyable and useful..... gave me confidence that a lot of what I was doing was OK, but also some good ideas on what weaknesses to work on. Found the low speed stuff and the observation bits particularly useful"

"Last weekend has reaffirmed my knowledge and it's been a great method to sanity-check one's roadcraft and riding skills, as I'm sure they lapse once one's too over confident over time. Thanks again"

"Thanks very much for all your time and hard work, and especially your patience when I seemed to have "lost it". I'm not sure what I expected when we started but the results speak for themselves. A fantastic improvement in all aspects of my riding, I feel far more in control and much safer"

"Apart from a Bronze Rider course before I bought my first ever bike, this would be the only other tuition I've ever had for a motorcycle. So the question you might ask was it worth it? Well, this time last month I would have said no. I would say YES now. He isn't judgmental, he just offers you different ideas, lets you try them out, and then quite rightly suggests that you use what you think suits you and makes you safer. The course has something for the expert and definitely there's something for the novice. Real motorcycling isn't about getting from A to B fast. It's about getting from A to B period! Kevin will help you do this without a doubt"

"I took a 'Performance: BENDS' course with Kevin to try to give my confidence a bit of a boost as I had been doing a lot of commuting... he listened carefully to my riding history... Kevin has a wealth of knowledge, information and techniques he is only to willing to share and I found a few of his little gems extremely useful. All in all a great trying day with a thoroughly nice bloke."

Thanks for a very enjoyable day yesterday. The bit about counterweighting and counter-steering was most useful - it's so easy! I have also been practising taking the weight off the handlebars to let the bike steer itself a bit more - it works. The braking advice also helpful. My slow speed manoeuvring is a helluva lot better than it was, I am much more confident about handling the weight of the bike now.

I feel a lot happier, more like the bike is a bit of me and not some big heavy thing I'm sitting on. I wish I'd done your course a year ago. I just want to get home from work without bruising / breaking / denting anything, especially myself, and you helped with that objective immensely.

"Ordinary Training?

No. EXTRA-ordinary training!"

"I didn't particularly think I had a problem with low-speed manoeuvering, so the improvement I achieved after 10 minutes was something of a revelation. Taking a bit more time approaching bends - braking earlier, being a bit clearer about the line - feels miles better. Hanging back in traffic an extra car's length or so made my journey home today seem easy. Much of the value for me has been in having the judgement of an objective expert on what I do well and what I do badly. Oh, and it was great fun!

I'm more than happy to endorse the course - everyone should do one”

I found the two days excellent, the balance of riding and theory was, to my mind, perfect. I know that we spent more time than usual talking, but that was MY preference as I like to understand what is happening and why, prior to trying it out practically. The skills taught during the two days have already shown an improvement in my riding,

I cannot thank you enough for the slow riding skills, especially the counterweighting, how I wish someone had taught me this twenty years ago! To be quite honest I don't really know how I managed without it"
