Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Do I have to use my own bike?

A: No. You can Hire this seasons Yamaha R6 from us. It's an additional charge per day, as detailed on the individual days school plus a £500 refundable crash damage deposit. If you drop the bike and break a lever then that's what you'd be charged for. Don't drop it and you get your whole deposit back!

Q: Do I have to start at Level One?

A: Yes everyone does. This is not a reflection of your ability it's just how the School works. It has to start somewhere and we call that place Level One.

Q: I recently went to what was supposed to be a training day and it basically turned into a lot of guys seeing how fast they could go around a track, with little or no input from the "instructor who gives you personal tuition as a group of 3-4"

A: We are a Cornering School and work just Cornering techniques. You will attend 5 classroom sessions and have 5 on track sessions as well as off track training. You will be assigned an Instructor for the whole day and he works with you and 2 other students each time you go on track. It is a school. Not a Track day and anyone who treats it like a track day gets sent home.

Q: Do I need to have special tyres on my bike or will standard road tyres do?

A: As we will expect you to ride at 80% or less so you have enough attention to learn and apply new techniques, standard road tyres are fine.

Q: Is level 1 for complete beginners? I would rather you assume that I’m completely rubbish and go from there!

A: Level 1 is for everyone. All rider start at level One. However, we try our best to put you in a group of similar levelled riders so the difference between the fastest and slowest in the group is about 10%.
