Slow-speed control is one of the most important — and most overlooked — skills in motorcycling. Whether you’re just starting out or riding a larger bike, confidently managing your Motorcycle at low speeds can significantly enhance your overall control and safety on the road.
Imagine being able to handle tight U-turns, heavy traffic, car parks, and low-speed manoeuvres without hesitation. That’s what this course is all about — building your balance, control, and confidence in real-world riding conditions.
We kick things off with a short theory session where we break down the fundamentals of:
Then, it’s time to get hands-on. You’ll spend most of the session on the bike working through a series of fun, focused exercises, including:
No need to bring your own bike — we provide the Motorcycle for this course so you can focus entirely on skill development.
This course is ideal for:
Throughout the course, I’ll be providing personalised feedback to help you refine your technique, identify areas that need improvement, and track your progress. You’ll leave with a noticeable improvement in control.
Once you’ve got the basics down, it’s time to take your riding to the next level. Our Road Control Course is a focused, half-day training session that blends machine control techniques with Roadcraft-based riding strategies. It’s the ideal next step after IBT or Slow Speed Control and a must for anyone serious about becoming a more skilled, aware, and confident motorcyclist.
We are excited to bring you this brand-new course, designed to help real riders with real road challenges.
Most motorcycle courses focus on either off-road skills or test preparation. The Road Control Course goes further by combining precise bike handling with real-world traffic skills — all while riding your own motorcycle. You’ll learn how to position yourself like a pro, spot hazards early, and anticipate traffic to stay safer and in control.
We begin with a brief off-road refresher and bike check before heading out onto the road for structured coaching. You’ll develop key techniques like:
Advanced road positioning for visibility and safety
Strategic observation and hazard anticipation
Defensive riding principles
Smooth cornering and braking on real roads
Gap selection and overtaking where appropriate
Applying Roadcraft principles to everyday riding
This course isn’t about speed — it’s about riding with purpose and confidence, using your own motorcycle so everything you learn applies directly to your day-to-day riding.
Our Road Control Course is perfect for:
IBT graduates looking for real-world practice
Anyone returning to biking after time off
Motorcyclists who want to improve safety, control, and awareness
Riders stepping up to more powerful bikes through progression
As always, I’ll be with you every step of the way, providing live feedback through radio comms where applicable, and giving you clear, supportive coaching to help you improve your skills on the road.
