Hi,

I'm looking for an instructor for my mod 1 DAS, I am in and around the Leeds area but can travel fair distances as long as I can get training right away! I have already had training on a Yamaha 600 , but is looking to switch instructor, because he spent the lesson before last giving a lass a massive one-to-one and decided to cancel my recent lesson and cancel my test in a week's time without letting me know as he doesn't feel I am prepared enough, well Mr.Instructor, I wonder why?

I'm ready to learn hard and fast, so if you're an instructor and you are up for some intensive training (prefer 1-1) asap then post a reply and I will call you back!

thanks in advance!

good day!

I did my test with them and they're really good, down to earth and have really good prices!

Speak to Lorraine and say Jake recommended you.

Possibly a bit far for you, but York Rider Training Scheme in Haxby (north of York) are a very nice bunch.

I did my training with Ride4Life - https://www.ride-4-life.co.uk/ based in Strensall near York and I can thoroughly recommend them. Dave Cuddy (owner/instructor) is a top bloke and the rest of the instructors were excellent. The bikes and school gear were always in top condition and I don't know if it's still the case, but you used to get a 10% discount for infinity (motorcycle clothing/accessory shop) in York.

Yorkshire is HUGE! yes. But thing is I don't mind travelling just as long as someone can fit me into their diary. and can actually be bothered to do some instructing.

i heard someone had broken a leg after a student on a CBT crashed into him... seems too much of a coincidence!

also found someone to take me on, so I'm gonna go and see if I like it there.

Also while shopping around, there seems to be plenty of instructors who thinks they are gods and it is I who needs to prove myself, beg and slave over them for some of their godly knowledge and abilities... makes me wanna gag... Shocked

yeah sure I'm most definitely gonna work dead hard and learn as much as my brain can take in but the arrogance someone them give off Sick
