Reviews of Ride-4-Life Motorcycle Training
l. h.I did my CBT here last September, then my direct access this summer and had a brilliant experience throughout. All the instructors were supportive, knowledgeable and always made me feel at ease.
As a disabled woman, I was at times really lacking in confidence but with good humor, patience and respect from the instructors I always felt like I could do it; which was really invaluable to me. I spent a lot of time with Bomber and can't praise him enough, I genuinely felt he cared and was invested in my progress. I appreciated the practical demonstrations he gave of the MOD 1 course when needed and throughout he shared his knowledge with the focus being on making me the best rider I can be. I will always be grateful for a fantastic training experience with Ride 4 life.
R. C.The guys there are super friendly and really accommodating. While renewing my cbt, I asked if they had any space for me to complete my A2, as initially they said they weren't taking anymore bookings. They managed to find a spot for me in 2 weeks time.
I then was lucky enough to have 1 on 1 with my instructor for a few of my lessons. It was really nice, relaxed teaching which calmed my nerves. My instructor was great at giving me more confidence and correcting my mistakes. I had my A2 license within 2 weeks.
E. W.I did my cbt with ride for life in 2020, and returned this year to do my full test.
The guys were all great, know how to tap in to peoples way of learning to make everything that bit easier. There’s no better place to get yourself test ready.
Friendly and knowledgeable, what more could you want? Shout out to Bomber for being an awesome instructor from start to finish!
R. L. Q.I've been today doing my CBT training and i have to say... I really loved it!! The guys are amazing... They made me feel so comfortable and I'm a bit scared of motorbikes but, they made me feel like I can do everything!! And I did! No nervous and good vibes all the time!! Thanks to them I can't wait to ride a bike!! Thanks a lot for everything guys! You are amazing!! I'm gonna recommend you to everyone who needs to do it!! 😍😘
J. B.Excellent motorcycle school, so chilled and friendly. Did my Mod 2 on a very hot day and was so nervous. Bomber Aka Paul was brilliant, and so was higgy on the training, so helpful when I had a mishap on training. Taught me a lot of skills, especially on clutch control. I passed 1st time with them. Would highly recommend.
R.Couldn't have imagined doing my bike tests (from cbt to mod2) with anyone else. Such a good, friendly, supportive team who go above and beyond to help time and time again. Have a real interest in helping people not just pass their test but also enjoy riding and be the best rider they can be! Bomber especially made passing my tests not only safe and informative, but also made the sessions fun and relatable.
N. B. (.I couldn’t recommend the ride4life guys enough! I did my CBT with them last year, then came back for my direct access. They had me confident & passed within just a few lessons! Absolutely great people, to the point & patient.
If you’re looking for instructors that have years of knowledge & experience, are calm & understanding, easy to get along with, then look no further
Worth their weight in gold! 👍🏻
H. J.Did my CBT on Sunday. Even though I have been riding a scooter and I am looking to move into a larger bike(s) I still learnt alot!
Really good trainers, Stu and Tony were superb and very patient, yet still got the job done. I can't recommend them enough!! Cheers boys! - see you for my test.....
B. H.Returnd to renew my Cbt and had a great day of training really friendly guys who was very understanding and supportive. Learned alot of new things in just one day that already make me feel more confident and safe on the road. I am looking forward to more training and starting my direct access soon. Special thanks to Mike great teacher
p. r.I started my riding course off with the cbt course and passed then moved onto the direct access courses and pleased to say that I passed both first time thanks to the training team especially Paul (bomber) his training tactics are top notching straight to the point which helped massively thank everyone
H. J.I did my CBT for the second time with Ride 4 Life last week. I can't recommend them enough. The guys there are knowledgeable, patient and extremely friendly.
J. V.just passed my full bike test thanks to thee great lessons advice and coaching from the guys here.
right from the start very friendly and helpful any qestions you have they will answer as best they can and will always find the answer.
constant advice while riiding onn lessons and they are more than happy to go through anything you dont understand again.
cannot recommend these enough if you want to feel confident in riding.
very well priced and very helpful would definately recommend
Y. 9.Great set of guys who are very knolageable and very patient with new riders.
J. H.Really great team of instructors! I'd never ridden any motorbike before, but by the end of the CBT I was comfortable on a geared 125cc bike. The pace was very good and everyone had enough time to get comfortable with the bikes before heading out for a ride in the afternoon. Great fun too. Recommended!
M. F.Lovely bunch of guys, did my CBT HERE. Looking forward for more fun and learn. Highly recommended, nothing called forced sales of any equipment. Buy if you think you need it, simple. Otherwise perfect 10 of 10
C. I. L.Had the absolute best day.
Couldn't recommend more.
Coming into my CBT after numerous bad experiences in the road I was really quite anxious.
I felt totally at easy very quickly and the teaching styles cater to every learning style. Patient, articulate and friendly, I really wouldn't consider going anywhere else. Genuinely the nicest guys, vastly experienced and totally capable of taking on those who may be unexperienced, nervous, anxious or just generally lacking confidence.
10/10
Thankyou
Sam
M. M.A professional ,friendly service ,so impressed with Stu’s approach with our sons Dyslexia ,he was made to feel at ease and confident to take to the road on his 2 wheel journey ! Can highly recommend.
a. h.My daughter did her CBT today and would 100% recommend. She had a one on one with Paul thanks to people not bothering to turn up (rude)! He was absolutely brilliant so kind and patient. She passed in just a few hours and feels so confident now.
Thanks for helping us find a moped. She's on the road 😊
R. B.Did my CBT here staff were all really friendly and were happy to answer any questions i had, would recommend!
W. H.Fantastic set of guys and brilliant coaches, completed my CBT right through to full test with these guys. Nothing but supportive and great tuition. I would 100% recommend these to anyone, advanced rider or beginner the full team is top shelf! Thanks again
A. M.My son did his cbt test today,top class training was given to him would highly recommend this place
R. M.After 22 years out of the saddle at the age of a lot I decided to get another bike. I wasn’t totally useless but I did need to get out with someone who would show me some pointers and remind me of stuff I’d forgotten. The guy that I was put with was Briggsy , a really understanding and competent rider who was a natural at getting his point across. My confidence has gone up as well as my ability thanks to Ride for life and Briggsy. Many thanks lads, money well spent. Rob Matthews
M. W.I was very nervous about doing my CBT but from arriving to leaving the entire experience was superb, everything was done at your pace and the on road section really filled me with confidence, all the guys where a great laugh but gave you in-depth insight into every aspect of riding a motorcycle. I'm over the moon with the whole day. I would highly recommend these guys if you want the best experience and are nervous about doing your CBT look no further and book it now.
L. C.Great experience on wednesday (7/7/2021) guys were brilliant.. Understanding, tolerant and very attentive. No messing about or fannying around. Made the experience fun and enjoyable. So excited to get a bike. Would deffinatly recommend and go back to them to get full motorbike training! Clear about what they wanted us to do! A*.. look forward to seeing you guys again!
Lucy
S. B.Experienced riders delivering the training, very friendly and approachable. Will return for direct access when I'm feeling brave.
L. H.Brilliant set of guys. Started my training Oct 2020. Gone from no experience what so ever, never even sat on a bike, to passing my DAS mod1 today first time. Couldn't recommend the guys highly enough. Role on Mod2 and summer!
D. L.These guys are simply the best! I have done my CBT with them three times now as I'm not too fussed about doing my test, and they have never failed to be welcoming, professional and thorough, not to mention hilarious! They are so supportive and encouraging if you are struggling with something and give you undivided attention throughout. Would never go anywhere else!
J. O.You won’t get better training anywhere else! Absolute top guys, they want you to pass, they don’t force unnecessary lessons on you, if your ready he will tell you, Dave the owner is a good old school biker with genuine morals, he provides a service that you pay top dollar for but in return you get top quality training, hence the saying in life you get what you pay for. Bomber, dom & higgy, top guys, got me through my test first time, attention to detail. They’re all over you for your faults. So come test day you can hear him still telling you ha, recommended you guys to a couple lads at work that doing there bike tests. Thanks a lot ride 4 life, was a great experience:)
H. C.I passed my motorbike test 23 years ago and haven’t ridden for about 19 years. I recently bought my dream motorbike and wanted to get back out there but realised my confidence on the bike had completely gone. I decided I needed to do something about it and that’s when I found these guys!
From the first minute they put me at ease, they let me go at my own pace and start on a smaller bike but quickly built my confidence to try the 600cc.
After three lessons my confidence is back and I’m ready to get back out there! If you’re reading this and thinking about doing the same, balls to it, just do it! I promise you won’t regret it!
Paul aka Bomber I can’t thank you or recommend you enough, I never thought I’d be back on the road after all this time but it’s a dream come true! I hope to see you on the road and I’ll be expecting a Harley nod when I do!!
Thank you so much, love Queenie! Like we said, “let’s do this!!” X
J. L.Outstandingly good tuition and hospitality (with delicious refreshments!) from a really great team; I highly recommend Ride-4-Life Motorcycle Training to anyone wanting to learn to ride.
They got me safely through my DAS training with first time passes for both mod 1 and mod 2 with far less lessons than I ever expected I would need. They want you to pass and don’t drag out the lessons uneccessarily. They get you doing your tests as soon as you’re ready and don’t let you hold yourself back. Coming from up near Newcastle, I did my DAS lessons with Ride-4-Life during weekend visits to the parents’ and took annual leave for the test days.
Thanks to the calibre of tuition provided I was all set after four afternoons of yard work with Paul (Bomber), Dom and Higgy, and three mornings of riding around York with Dom (plus the rides to/from/to the tests which are valuable lessons in themselves!).
It’s been a thoroughly enjoyable and rewarding experience for me. Many thanks.
S. W.Really nice bunch of blokes. I was taken round York on my CBT by a very pleasant guy called Dominic. I felt really at ease and not even a slightly bit nervous. I even got a nice cup of tea while they sorted out my certificate. Overall it was a very satisfying experience helped by the beautiful sunny weather that day and I'd definitely recommend them to anyone who is wanting to take their motorcycle tests or CBT training. Thanks guys.
I. S.I have had a very good experience training with the Ride4Life team;
Special thanks to Paul and Dave for all of your support, guidance and encouragements. The level of training I have received is to a very high standard.
I highly recommend Ride4Life to anyone wanting to complete a CBT or achieve a full bike license.
Thank you so much to you all! x
D. H.Did my CBT with these guys last week was very nervous but Dave and all the team made me feel so relaxed and welcome that the nerves soon went. Bomber is a great instructor and made everything so clear and easy to understand. Thanks for a great day!
J. P.Excellent. I cannot fault the training I received, and I would recommend Ride-4-Life to anyone. I had two half-days of training for Module 1, and another two half-days for Module 2. I was trained mostly by Paul (Bomber), also also Dom, Higgi and Rod at various times. They are all very different, and they are all superb in their own ways - I learned much more by having the diversity of ideas and methods. Safe, practical, and friendly.
B. E.I was abit aprahensive about doing the course but as soon as I asked a few questions .and got the know the friendly instructors .I was at ease .had a great day learning lots of new skills to be safe on the road .brilliant all round effect for all the instructors.
N. B.Never ridden a bike before taking my CBT with the team at Ride-4-Life, then went on to complete Mod1 & 2.
The guys train you beyond where you need to be so you are of a good standard to take and pass your tests and also for the day you jump on your bike without the L plates.
Superb bunch of people and a really great experience. GSOH
Thank you everybody at Ride-4-Life.
Worth every penny too!
A. Y.Absolute brilliant guys. Cannot fault the friendly nature and professionalism. Dave, Dom, Bomber and Higgi really are the very best at what they do. First time round for me, completed my CBT, Mod1 and Mod2 first time. Let's not forget Dave's wife and the rest of the family for not only making us feel so welcome, Dave's wife actually supplied bacon or sausage sandwiches on a Saturday. If you are looking at bike lessons, either CBT or DAS, then these are your guys I can't thank them enough.
P. D.Did my Direct Access with these guys and wouldn't hesitate to recommend, did most of my training with Paul and Higgy and they were great, the rest of the team were also very patient and helpful too! The banter was great and plenty of tea and coffee!
V. B.Bucket list at 50 CBT tick. What a fantastic day arrived very nervous to do my CBT but was soon put at ease with Wayne in the morning then a fantastic lunch and out with Dom in the afternoon, great bunch of lads and a real good laugh but there passion for safety and being patience is high on there list of standards. Passed that day and straight out on my bike. Will be back soon to do my MOD 1 and MOD 2. Thank you.
Vicky
P. S.If I could rate these guys higher than 5* I would!
From the moment myself and another turned up to start our mod 2 training after been with another training school the total professionalism and more importantly friendliness and knowledge of theses guys totally put me at ease, If your thinking about getting your licence take my advice and book up with Dave.
A special thank you to Bomber for getting me passed, Dave for the brews and his wife for the home made food which is special treat!
s. m.I did my CBT with these guys today (Saturday 19th December)They are a good bunch indeed!...they put me at ease, helped my confidence no end, were encouraging and Rod had the patience of a Saint with me and my foot...thankyou Rod 🛵🛵
Thanks again guys
Sue(with the foot!)
J. J.I cannot recommend these guys enough. Had lessons with Bomber, Tony, Iggy, Ozzy and Rod. All great instructors and got me through my tests in a matter of months!
Cuddy and his wife are so hospitable and friendly (and make great bacon sarnies and scones!
Thanks Lads
P. H.Having ridden a moped way back when I was 16, a lot of my mates have now gone on to pass their full bike test and gotten themselves a 'big boy's bike'. Needless to say, I was subject to peer pressure and had to do the same. All my mates had gone through Ride4Life and couldn't find a bad word to say about them. I gave them a call and was guided through the whole process. From initial enquiry through to passing my test (April 2016) my experience exceeded my expectations. I was tutored mainly by Dave (Bomber) but also experienced other instructors, who really know their stuff and are really good at what they do. I found that Bomber was quick to learn of my abilities, using this to push me to unlock my real potential. At no point did I believe they were holding me back to extort more money, even though I made it clear that I was 'to be guided by them', so the opportunity for them to do just that was definitely present. I remember being surprised when they advised me to put in for my test. Surely I wasn't ready?? Their confidence in me as a rider was enough to give me the confidence I required to take the tests - I passed both Mod 1 & Mod 2 first time with only a couple of minors. In summary - Highly recommended! If you want to pass your bike test then go through Ride4Life.
PS. Thanks guys. I'm now enjoying the warm weather atop of my Suzuki GSX-R 600. Lovin' every minute.

M. J.Just passed my Direct Access using Ride 4 Life. Can't thank Dave, Bomber, Dom and Aussi enough for the patience and invaluable tips. I thought I could ride a bike, thanks to these guys I now can. If you're looking for the best bike training around York, you've just found it.

riding motorcycles is amazing- they got me from CBT to a full license
in no time!

K. O.I hadn't ridden for over 20 years, but a day with Higgy blew the cobwebs away. I couldn't stop grinning and can't recommend these guys enough. If you're looking for real bikers with a passion for teaching, try them..I'm glad I did.
L.Did my 4th CBT with Ride 4 Life, the instructors Dave and Bomber were really friendly, informative and respectful. Wont use any other but these guys from now on. Thanks guys!
D. C.Very informative and as a person who has low confidence, they made me feel confident. I thoroughly enjoyed it and will recommend them.
Cheers guys.

H. G.Absolutely excellent. Got me through mod 2 after failing it once in Newcastle. These guys are proper bikers, know their stuff and great instruction. Can’t recommend them enough.
T.Couldn't wish for a more brilliant bunch of guys to be taught by. Did my CBT and then my full licence with them and they were great every step of the way! Can't recommend them enough!
m. a.At the age of 65 I thought I would be too old to learn to ride and pass my test on a 660cc bike.Luckily I chose race4life to learn with,and with the help of bomber and iggy (instructors) I passed my test first time yesterday.
Many thanks to all concerned mal
