DAS Direct Access Park Royal – 1st Place Rider Training Is The Place For You! Congratulations Jan!
Jan T. from Park Royal passed his Mod 2 practical test on 19th December 2011. He now has a full motorbike licence and can ride any size bike. Well done Jan!
“I feel absolutely fantastic now that I have passed my test and obtained my full motorcycle licence. I would not trust me with a full licence. Haha, amazing job guys!! Thank you!!!
Before coming to 1st Place Rider Training I had some riding experience on a 250 Virago, but that was like 10 years ago. I chose 1st Place Rider Training because although the price is a bit high EVERYTHING is included and you get the whole day for a training session not just three hours.
The reasons I enjoy riding a motorbike and decided to do my Direct Access was because I was fed up of the endless queuing on buses and Tubes! There’s only so much smells a man can handle! So commuting is the number 1 reason. The 2nd reason is finally being able to get around and explore the island on those 5 sunny days a year!
1st Place Rider Training communicated everything I needed to know fairly clearly. I felt quite confident throughout the course! The staff was GREAT! Very friendly and always ready to answer any of my queries.
My 3 favourite things about 1st Place Rider Training are:
1. Shaun, my instructors, authoritative training instructions and it helps stick in your head
2. Very relaxed atmosphere and Keith, another one of my instructors, exhaustive knowledge
3. Cheerful and positive manner
I would recommend 1st Place Rider Training and say if you want a bunch of nutters to take you through your DAS in a relaxed and very easy to learn manner, THIS IS THE PLACE FOR YOU!”
