Clare F
" Bike Tests Like to thank the team for accommodating me at short notice for condensed training for Mod 1 and Mod 2. Having been riding on L plates for 8 years, it was inevitable to have developed some bad habits, fortunately, the course ironed those out and I managed to pass both modules 1st time. Thanks particularly to Simon, Steve and Helen. "
Ramin Shafiee
" First lesson to pass in 2 weeks I just wanted to say thanks to the team at Think Bike! I did the 5 days course including CBT, Mod1 & Mod2 having never ridden a bike with gears before. I passed everything 1st time as a result of their great guidance. Moreover, they really taught me how to be a safe rider. I am now always aware of my surroundings. A final message to Instructor Steve I have finally managed to remember to turn my indicators off 🙂 Thanks guys. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED AS A SAFE AND THOROUGH COURSE, GREAT VALUE!!!"
Chris Muir
" Thanks to you all Hi everyone. Thanks to you all for the effort and confidence given during my DAS course. Have done 1500 miles since the test and practice tight figure of 8's all the time. Also stops and pulling away. Only one or two moments out there but the practice is worth it. Best wishes to you all. "
Anthony Jarvis
" Had my DAS with CMT last week and past everything first time. This was down to the training I received, it was second to none. Simon was great all week, very calm and did not overload you with information. The week was structured very well and all aspects of riding were covered. As a complete beginner to riding, I could not recommend CMT more. All of the admin staff were very friendly and everything was smooth from start to finish. Thank you team for getting me on 2 wheels!!!! "
Adam Phillips
" 1st time passes on Module 1 and Module 2 Thanks very much to Simon (& Steve) for seeing me through with 1st time passes on Module 1 and Module 2 having previously only spent a day on a geared bike before during my CBT a year ago. Highly Recommended!"
Matt K
" I cannot find enough words to praise the team. I had no previous experience with motorcycles at all. In 6 days, Simon and Steve prepared me to pass the practical motorcycle tests without any problems. During the course, they have demonstrated great patience and tolerance. They have demonstrated a positive approach, guidance and encouragement even when I was making ridiculous mistakes (some beyond your imagination:). Now, I have my license (yet to be delivered)... and trying to figure out which motorcycle will suit me best."
Ivan
"DAS Training Thank you to Matt, Jack, Steve, Helen and, of course, Simon for all your help in getting me through Module 1 and Module 2. A professional team and great bikes helped me pass the DAS first time round. "
Paul
" Thank you Very professional and thorough handling of a one-day CBT course. Having been driving for over 30 years, I'd never ridden any motorbike before. The instructor gave me great confidence to handle the machine and the road - but was also very concerned not to push anyone beyond their abilities too quickly. I'm sure I'll be back to prepare for a full licence. "
Alastair
" Great Team! Thank you to all the team at CMT- I am so pleased to have passed my Mod 1 and Mod 2 through the direct access route. The thorough training and bags of encouragement I received from you guys all paid off. Really appreciate all your support. Just need to go out and get that bike now! "
Chris Williams
" Great course, really recommended Simon made the DAS course extremely simple. Had 3 days of training before both tests and passed first time, thanks to being taught properly! Thanks "
Jamie Long
" These guys are amazing I passed my DAS first time today after a few days out on the bike with Simon patiently correcting my ridiculous mistakes and giving up his Sunday morning with 7 am start. Simon is amazing and I went to the test incredibly well prepared. I also saw how unprepared 2 other students were with a different riding school, and sat and watched as they both failed their module 1's. For me, this really highlighted the difference between CMT and the other training schools out there who just want your money and are happy to send you to the test unprepared. I can completely recommend CMT as if they can get me to pass then anyone can do it! "
Nick
"Great experience 🙂 Had 4 days of training. 3 with Simon and 1 with Helen - both wonderful ppl and trainers 🙂 Passed my MODs on the first time with no single minor faults 🙂 I definitely recommend them for anyone and everyone 🙂 Thanks a lot guys! "
David
" I'd like to give a big thanks to, Helen, Simon and Carol for all of there help and advice after a 5-day direct access course I passed mod1 & mod2 with no minor faults, Simon and carol are a very thorough and professional team and I would highly recommend them to anybody, thanks very much. "
Des Francis
"As a 40-year-old novice rider, I was pretty nervous about taking my CBT. Long story short, Helen is extremely helpful and Simon has patience in spades. He built my confidence with basic skill on top of basic skill and got me out on the road. The price you pay for the CBT is a bargain, not a gamble. Thanks to you both."
James Gleeson
" Thanks so much, Simon for successfully taking me through the DAS, great course to get started properly and I passed Mod1/2 in the first go. Will certainly recommend and come back for more advanced training! Cheers, Rob"
Robert Prehn
"Thanks to the team for excellent 5 days DAS, passed both MODs first-time thanks to Simon and Carols' patience and expert tuition. Would definitely recommend"
Tom Hone
" Having passed my CBT with ThinkBike in January I decided to take my A license in June. For the first 2 days of training, I had Carol and she taught me all the different manoeuvres for Module 1 and was very clear about what was required and patient with me as I learnt. I then had Simon for the next 2 days who is also an excellent teacher and helped improved my riding ability and took me on a variety of different roads so that I got an all round experience of riding. When I did the tests I felt very prepared and was very happy when I passed. Overall I would highly recommend using Think bike if you wish to attain your bike license/CBT. "
Pippa
"I did my homework shopping around. When I spoke with Helen she was knowledgeable and said the price I paid (other schools either the price changed on different days speaking to other phone operators or the retake prices (mod 1 & 2 ) were too high don't forget to ask this question when you shop around...! I can't recommend Helen and Simon enough...Helen reassured/answered all my questions and even worked my training round family commitment/times/days...Simons a cool patient dude but don't let it fool ya 'he knows his stuff' there's not much he doesn't know about biking...(he notices everything and gives u advice/feedback/irons out bad habits)... I passed mod 1 & 2 first time..didn't expect to tho that's the truth...not bad for a 57-year-old grandma ! I'm now riding round on a BMW 650 gs! ..I'm soo happy I chose them..if you listen to what you are taught and act on it, you should pass 1 st time too..don't hesitate..give them a call...you won't regret it..good luck... Susan. "
Susan
" Worked with Simon on a five day course. He corrected all my bad habits and was amazingly patient throughout. Was pretty nervous for my test but he had absolute confidence in me which helped a lot! Passed both modules first time in one day with only 2 minors overall so really happy. Would highly recommend. "
Peter
" Think bike are very professional and offer the best training locally ..I have just completed my 4 day Bike training and was today successful in passing my Module 1&2.... I would like to thank my wonderful Instructor CAROL..she has the patience of a SAINT and 30yrs of experience .. A big thanks for passing your knowledge to me and making me successful on my 1st attempt... "
Stuart Loynton
" Did the DAS with Simon on a crazy hot week! Had the greatest 5 days with a guy who has the patience of a saint. I cannot hear, however, we overcame this and breezed through the course. Simon is great at talking you through any niggles or issues with your riding. By the end of the week, I was confident with my riding abilities and it all paid off with passing my tests the first time. Cheers for a great week and having the confidence in me Simon! "
Dan Strawbridge
" Don't look anywhere else!!! A year or so ago I took my CBT with CMT and didn't think twice before booking my DAS with the guys (and gals) this year. The bikes used were/ are in great condition, the instruction given is top-notch, detailed and precise. I think this is the first time I have ever taken an exam and not been nervous. If you are looking to get on 2 wheels safely and confidently- call and make the booking. You will not be disappointed. Thank you, everyone :-)"
Steve Gardner
" Hi, I just want to say that I passed my mod1 and mod2 on the first attempt with these guys. Just stick to what Simon tells you - take his advice and you will be just fine. I had a great time doing my 4 days training with these guys. I would recommend to anyone. Martin"
Martin Strawbridge
" After booking a four-day course, I was amazed at how well the training went. Simon was completely professional and nice person to train with. After passing module 1 & 2 first time I would have to attribute this to the skill and professionalism of the trainer and all the staff at CMT and would highly recommend them to anyone wishing to take a bike test.
