New Motorcycle Test Success

Wednesday, May 6th, 2009 | Posted in New Test 2009, Student Testing

Chris BatesChris Bates became our first student to pass  the new two-part motorcycle test and throw away his L-plates for good.  Delighted Chris took our Direct Access deal and found his training at Harley’s well prepared him for both part one and part two of the newly introduced testing regime.

Chris said: “I absolutely loved my time at Harley’s Rider Training. The level of service and instruction was superb and I was delighted because I was able to fit my training around my work commitments. All the staff were very friendly and helpful and did their best to accommodate my needs. I’m looking forward to joining them all on their regular Tuesday night ride outs.”

Budding motorcyclists are gearing up to sit the two-part test set to come into force on April 27, 2009 – so you’d better book now if you want a chance to throw away those L plates before the split test is introduced.

The Driving Standards Agency (DSA) is pressing ahead with plans to reinvent the motorcycle testing regime – so from the end of next month all our candidates will face a double date with the driving examiner in order to gain their motorcycle licence.

We still have limited training places available before the test change!

At present, all our candidates face a single test event – with road riding skills and the manoeuvres such as the dreaded U-turn, Emergency Stop and Push in the Road exercise all closely monitored.
