With concise clear instructions (we provide) a clean well maintained bike (we provide) good radio communications (we provide) and the right level of training (we provide) the test is passable by anyone.
We are so confident of our training methods and content that we GUARANTEE if you ride on your Motorbike test the way we teach,

everything exactly the way we show you, then we will pay for your re-test.
3rd EUROPEAN DIRECTIVE 3DLD
Its all going to get very Lionel Messi by next year, don't get caught with your tackle out get it done now!
3DLD, The third European Directive on licensing is due to impact in January 2013.
The changes this will have are almost as dramatic as 2DLD which saw the new test, in out shake it all about!
The off road Mod 1 test is staying for the foreseeable future, but this government is adamant it wants a single on road test. Don't hold your breath, as it is our own elected
government and not European law, so it probably wont happen. The European bit definitely will!
So what does 3DLD mean for you? Basically if you are 21 to 23 or reaching 21 this year get your licence thru the DAS scheme now!
From Jan 2013 you will have to wait until you are 24. Also if and when you reach 24 the bikes will be larger and more powerful than the
current batch of DAS bikes. (i.e. Increasing to 600cc+ probably 650cc and more difficult to ride than the current 500cc machines)
If you are planning on getting a licence as a 17 to 20 year old on a 125 get it now!
From Jan 2013 a tiered system will begin (although no one actually understands it) where you may need to take your test on a 125 at 17,
wait 2 years, take one at 19 on a 400, wait 2 years and then another at 21 on a 600+!
Or it may be that you have to take additional recorded training on larger machines to progress. Either way it is going to be very complex and very costly.
So don't wait for the magic roundabout to commence, I hear every day "I wish I had done it years ago", you have been warned!
In a Nutshell
Very basically all you need to know.
If you just want to get on the road on a learner legal Scooter or Motorbike (up to 125) you need to do a CBT.If you want to get a full Motorcycle Licence you need to do a CBT, a Theory and hazard perception test and take both parts of your practical Motorcycle riding tests. An off road maneuvers exercise Mod 1 and an on road riding skills and road craft test Mod 2. Once you have that Licence why not try some advanced training like the ERS offer we have going.
ERS special offer only a month left!
Leeds council will probably withdraw the part funding on offer in the next financial year
Through negotiation and the generous funding of Leeds city council we can offer reduced price ERS training. The council have decided as part of their Quality Yorkshire Riders scheme, to assist in making Motorcycling safer, to part fund some advanced rider training within the ERS framework. The offer is first come first served and funding is limited. There is a chance this offer could be withdrawn at short notice due to the Council cut backs! So if you fancy it give us a call! 01274 622522
Decision made, It is a 2 part test, under review, amended, dress code changed! Now possibly going back to a single test!
MOTORCYCLE TEST changes by the government. Try to keep up at the back there undermanager!

The DSA and the last Government U turned many times during the introduction of the new 2 part Motorcycle test.
Implementation dates were changed at very short notice and finally it was decided to make it two parts.
Due to the lack of promised test facilities the government are now reviewing the whole fiasco and implementation of 2DLD which caused this.
It may go back to a single on road test. Watch this space!!!!!!
The DSA have made some tweaks to the order and conduct of the Mod 1 off road test. It will make it safer and easier to pass. The fixation with reaching 50 KPH has somehow been eased. We will cover it all in detail when you train with us. This link shows the new exercise format New Mod 1 test exercises The latest change is that there is now a much stricter dress code imposed for testing . Sensible riding gear is ok but if you are under 25 and do not posses a pair of shoes only trainers you need to get to Marks and Sparks for a good stout pair of brouges and some hardy slacks! We will advise you on whats hot and whats not! Some good news is that the current test centres of Bradford and Leeds will remain open to conduct module 2 the on road part. Frequency and days of operation may change. The module 1 off road exercise will be conducted at Wakefield, West/North Yorkshires only MPTC. The fees have now increased to almost £95 for tests and £31 for the theory. If you click on the read more link it takes you to the Direct Gov web site where information on the format of the new test can be found. |
The last Government ignored all the pleas of the biking industry and
allowed European legislation to decide our driving test rules.
The new bike test came into effect in April 2009.
For the future the 3rd European directive has passed unchallenged into Uk law. This is likely to raise the DAS age to
24 years and there will be a number of restrictions imposed on the size
and power of what you can ride. Plus younger learners will need to pass a series
of tests to get a full license. Believe us this is happening and it seems no amount of outcry will
stop successive governments or the DSA imposing European testing rules on us!
So the message is GET THAT LICENCE NOW BEFORE ANYMORE DRACONIAN MEASURES ARE IMPOSED!
Read more2wheelskool went racing, not as succesful as our training though!
Read our post race article on entering the No Budget cup at Anglesey September 2010, our world domination of endurance racing failed at the first hurdle!
The No Budget Cup was an entry level endurance race run by some well organised Belgians. It was the first time some of us and most of the other competitors had raced. Read on to to see what happened.The new Motorcycle test, fundamently flawed?
"Is it safe?" Not only a memorable line from the Marathon Man! Well is it? If so who checked it, where is the report?
I must admit to getting a bit boiling hot under the collar about the new test and now the 3rd directive but as it has a distinct possibility of dramatically affecting my business I feel I have every right to question everything about it. There have been 4 training schools close in the last 12 months in this area. So if you are bored I have posted a series of articles I have written on the subject. The DSA chief Rosemary Thew has to face a ministerial inquiry into the new test. Read on.
