They've replied to my email this morning and said that there's no need to cancel, and of course I can do it on a geared 125.

I think it was one of the trainers that has replied as I've seen him post pictures on their page, definitely a different person than i spoke to on Sunday, maybe this was an admin error from the start.

Now i just have to screw the nut and not spend the day stalling after all this fuss about gears!

Also, they don't seem like scammers at all, feel pretty bad for posting their company name before hearing back from them, if a mod could amend my first post and star it out or something??

[Richtea]

Sounds good , when are you doing it?

Good stuff, glad to hear it. I'd still suggest telling the instructor on the day that you're intending to do more training with them, if you enjoy the CBT.

Should have read page 2 before emailing them about their GroupOn offer and this thread, now I look like a dick

Hi everyone,

My Name is Alex Deutsch and Rebel Dogg is my bike school, which has been running an offer with Groupon, to help launch our new site in Milton Keynes and hopefully boost DAS business for the school.
We also run Colchester Kawasaki's training school in Colchester, where have recently run a similar offer, which was restricted to 50cc scooters, for a number of reasons, beneficial to students and which clearly stated on the Groupon ad that this was the case.

I would like to apologize for the confusion which we have generated from not checking the new advert properly, it is very important to us that we do not get a reputation for any fast practices as nothing could be further from the truth.

I would also like to state here that anyone who has purchased a Groupon for Milton Keynes is perfectly welcome to train on a 125cc, and we hope that this clears up the confusion. It is entirely our intention to encourage new students into taking the full bike test, although the CBT IS easier to complete on a 50cc scooter.
It was never our intention to make extra money out of students wanting to ride geared bikes, in fact the offer we have made for anyone wishing to complete the CBT on an automatic and then wanting to progress to DAS training INCLUDES free gear upgrade training as part of the DAS course.

If anyone has any questions regarding this issue or any concerns whatsoever, please do not hesitate to contact me directly. My numbers are on our web site.

Kind regards to all,

Alex Deutsch
Managing Director

Would just like to point out that the title is 'Learning Gears'.... I didn't create the thread to cause such a commotion, only to find out if I could still take advantage of the offer and teach myself

I removed the company name from the thread as soon as I'd heard back from you on Tuesday so people didn't stumble across it when googling you!

Really looking forward to doing my CBT with you guys at the minute, day off booked at work today

[rebeldogg]

No problem, I appreciate you taking our name off - we genuinely are trying to do a good job here!
Cheers
Alex

Did my CBT on a 50cc scooter on the excact same Groupon deal except it was in East kilbride Scotland, rode a 50cc for a month then bought a 125cc Lexmoto Vixen and taught myself the gears in about 25 mins, Surprisingly easy!
