Hi simon

I enjoyed it equally and pleased it wasn't as cold/icy as the recent week or so! There are several roads I've noted to take again and add on to favourite options for some ride outs. I never felt under any pressure either in the morning or during the assessment phase in the afternoon, which is a credit to your tuition and guidance both on the day and earlier with the ERS in December 2009.

It was indeed a very good day! Thanks again for lunch. I'll be passing on your details to others interested.....but they are more summer bikers! Looking forward to another ride out in the future.

Hi Simon

Just a quick email to pass on what a great day I had earlier in June when I did the Enhanced Rider Scheme with you. On the day, good weather, really great roads and a great many tips and hints of course all geared towards safety. I found the whole day very useful and well worth the money. I have been out a number of times since (trying to remember everything) and found I have more confidence in corners, over taking and general riding, getting more out of my bike 'safely'.

In fact I have since bought (a bargain) 2nd bike, cruiser style this time (Triumph of course), and even though it's a different riding style I can still put all the same tips and hints in to practice and get a great ride out of that bike too.

I found the way the day was broken up into some riding, debrief (cup of tea), some more riding, more debrief (another cup of tea) perfect. Also your teaching 'manner'; calm, clear instructions, patient and easy going, kept the day 'light', no pressure. So it was more like riding with a friend who had more knowledge of riding and just chatting about biking over a cup of tea...best way to learn. I will be recommending you to any of my biking friends or any bikers I stop to chat to and will look at more advanced style training next year.

From another point of view, I think the DSA should have left the motorcycle test as it was and made 'post test' training, like the ERS compulsory within two years of passing your test.

Thanks again.

I was reffered by a friend to use Simon from  SPS Rider Training, after completing some training with a local company. The level of professionalism, insight, clarity, presentation skills and understanding, was second to none. In no time at all, I was riding my Thunderace with more confidence! Simon is definitely a top bloke and I will be recommending him to all my friends. Thanks Simon, it's been a pleasure.

Many thanks for a thoroughly enjoyable day out. I really felt my skills improved just where I needed them to most. My confidence at performing higher speed manoeuvres was improved dramatically and I am sure I will enjoy my riding that much more!

Thanks again.

Thanks for a most enjoyable course and great coaching. I was surprised, but really pleased to be awarded an 'A' grade. I look forward to putting into practice everything learnt throughout the course.

A quick note to say 'THANK YOU' to Simon for my success in gaining my full bike licence. From the first phone call I made, I received 1st class professional service. The training was fun, entertaining and educational. Simon was an inspirational teacher and has the patience of a saint. I would have no hesitation in recommending his services to anyone - in fact I have just done so to my neighbour. I wish Simon all the very best and look forward to some advanced training in the future.

Good luck and my very best regards.

Just really wanted to say thanks for the help. Simon was absolutely brilliant, patient, honest and all round good laugh! One thing I was really impressed with was the mileage Simon and I put in over the four days. One or two of the days we got in as much as 140 miles which was brilliant fun!!

Overall it was a fantastic course and a lot of fun which I don't think other training companies offer. What more could I ask for! I plan on coming back in the near future for some advanced training. Thanks.

I have just got back from my bike test and I have passed first time! I just want to say thanks to Simon for the fantastic training he gave me. The training over the five days was to a very high level and I will highly recommend him to all my family and friends. Thanks again for the experience.

A quick email just to say thank you very much for a most enjoyable, relaxed and highly professional DAS course. With Simon's  excellent training and enthusiasm, the correct result was obtained. A pass first time in five days! I will be back soon to do some more advanced training and if anybody is looking to learn to ride , I will not hesitate to recommend Simon and your training school. Many thanks.

I would like to say firstly how much of a credit Simon is to you. He was very patient and always told me constructively where I was making mistakes. When I did the right thing and showed confidence, he was quick to praise me. It was welcoming to me, as i needed all the praise that he was able to give, being that I was tense and nervous about going out onto the roads for the afternoon session. I would like to end this email by saying how much I enjoyed the whole experience and how pleased I was to receive my certificate at the end of the day.
