New rider in the North East looking for good instructor

[GBUK101]

Hi, I'm new to the bike scene and am looking for a good instructor in the north east, around north tyneside. I've no experience with bikes, never ridden before so am also looking to do my CBT. Are intensive courses suitable for complete newbs like me or are they for the more experienced beginner? Thanks in advance for your help

Quite a few people on here (myself included), have used:

Art of Motorcycling
Unit 18a, Wesley Drive
Benton Square Ind Est
Newcastle Upon Tyne
Tyne and Wear
NE12 9UP
Tel: 0191 2700270

Very friendly instructors, and they got me from never having sat on a bike, to the big, scary GS500 I'm on now!

They do intensive courses (although I just did my CBT, and then had private one-to-one lessons with one of their instructors).

It's right next to Palmersville Metro so it's really easy to get to.

Good luck!

Thanks for the reply, i had seen their advert in a cafe on wesgate hill yesterday. Thought i would ask how good they were before taking the leap and booking up.
