The training I received from Riverview was first class (and after completing my CBT elsewhere, I have something to compare against).  The instructors didn't just get me through my mod 1 and 2, they gave me confidence in my own ability.

Most of my training was with Mike, and he made sure that he trained me to be safe on the road, not to just "pass the test."  This pragmatic approach meant that despite all the nerves I passed mod 2 first time.  I'll miss hearing Mike's dulcet tones in my ear commenting on hazards as I ride down the road!

During my training I spent time with most of the instructors, they all have different styles, but I found I had something to learn from each one.  Everyone at Riverview looked after me: they gave me confidence when I needed it, they constructively critiqued my riding so I improved every time I went out.  They knew when to tell me to pull myself together and when to give me a big hug.

Thanks guys!  I'll be in to visit just as soon as I have gone bike shopping 

I really enjoyed my rider training, although it was hard work and I went home exhausted every night!

Mike has very high standards and expects you to put a lot in, but you also get a lot out.  Sometimes I felt like I was getting worse not better, but that is because I came to expect more of myself.

Once I’d got module 1 out of the way the hard work paid off as I sailed through module 2 without even picking up a minor mark.  I reckon if you can remember half of what you are taught then you are well on your way to a pass.

Had some laughs (and a few tears), and my innocent little ears learned a few new words as well J

If Mike can turn me in a half decent rider then I would recommend Riverview to anybody.

I’ll call in soon and show off my 600 Bandit… thanks again.

I came to riverview after doing my cbt with another company, their profesionalism and attention to detail was a breath of fresh air, so when I passed both my mod 1 and mod 2 first time its more a testiment to their skill as instructors than my skill as a rider, I am very happy that I chose riverview and if any one wants to learn to ride a bike it is the only place I would reccomend.

I came to Riverview to do my CBT, MOD 1 and MOD 2. Time was limited to a week to get everything done. I managed to get through both Mod 1 and Mod 2 on the same day and within the week. I couldn’t have done it without the expert tuition from the Riverview Guys. The training and Facilities are excellent. There is a full scale Mod 1 course to Practise; the road ride training is 2nd to none. You will not find anywhere the level that these instructors are at. The training is truly brilliant and praise doesn’t come higher.  If you listen to what they say you won’t fail. They don’t just teach you how to pass a test they taught me how to ride a bike. Skills which will last throughout my riding career.

I’d Just like to say a huge Thank you to Graham, Mike, Kev and Wayne for a fantastic week with some very positive results.

Cheers Guys.

Best Regards Chris Holmes.

Did my CBT, Mod 1 and Mod 2 with these guys and I'd reccomend them to anyone, hell, I have reccomended them to several of my friends. Great environment with experienced instructors.

Regards,

Firstly, I'd like to apologise for the late post on this guestbook.

Secondly, I'd like to thank all the guys @ Riverview in Hesketh Bank, especially Graham, who mentored me through my CBT, Mod 1 & Mod 2.

The service was great, we had a good laugh, and got through all of the training and ready for the test in no time. It took me under a month to pass all 3 parts stated above, and passed with flying colours.

I know that the stuff that I have been taught, will stay with me throughout my riding career, and I will be hearing Grahams voice in my ear every time I approch a round-a-bout a little too fast!

But seriously guys, thanks very much. The experience they have, and the advice they give is second-to-none, and I would recommend ANYONE, no matter what experience level, so give Riverview a shot, they were exceptional!!

passed mod 1 and 2 first time with mike,  first class training would highly recommend all easy going lads, thanks Graham, Wayne and Mike.  P.s. Got ZX6R riding good, all because of Mike's excellent training.. Will pop in to see you all soon, thanks Jeff from Coppull         

Cannot recommend these guys highly enough, I checked out a few schools before booking my CBT and these guys were the cheapest but I booked with them due to a recommendation from a friend and I have to say he was so right. The standard of training was excellent and Kevin the instructor not only made us road ready but did it with a laugh. Thanks for all your help and making it fun

Just wondering what i need to know to do my CBT. I'm 16 and just waiting on my Provisional to come then going to sit my test. 

Can someone just give me a quick run through what you do on the day for your CBT? 

Thanks guys

Hey Jamie - thanks for the kind words

I did like your phrase for the CBT! Perhaps we should have done that we you

It was a good day - all four guys worked and played hard. Let's see you back on a DAS course eh??

passed my CBT today 10/6/2010 wot a day have a brill day was funny so the day went fast....

MIKE AND KEV was so down to earth dont for get guys wot dose CBT stand for....(COME BACK TOMORROW) HA HA

thanks again for a good day and all your help....

Just Passed module 2 today. Thanks to Wayne, Graham and Mike for all their help. Passed my CBT 18 months ago and have finally come back to finish off  though it took nearly 3 months to sort out the time. Passed mod 1 and 2 first time due to these guys patience and advice. Highly recomended.

I took my CBT with these guys two years ago, as did my son. I recently came back under the watchful eye of Wayne to do my DAS. After some days of coaching and jibing and genral good fun, I passed both modules first time.

I watched riders from other schools doing their tests and they were nowhere near the level Riverview gets you to, which supports their high pass rate.

You won't go wrong with Wayne and Mike (and Wayne's Dad) looking after you, and you'll have a laugh while you're doing it.

Thanks fellas.

really nice guys at riverview and TOP quality training. Highly reccomend to anyone!

Just passed my test with 1 minor mark after doing the direct access course with Riverview.

Thanks to Wayne & Graham for the excellent instruction & their high pass rate is testament to that.

Also thanks to Mike for putting me through my CBT!

Recently passed my test with riverview after having failed several times with another school which failed drastically to reach the standard that Riverview train too. Wayne and Graham run an excellent school here and you will have no problems. Thanks guy.

Couldn't recommend Riverview enough, the training I received was excellent and I belive my pass was down to the way they explained everything. They don't laugh at you (much :)) for asking the most stupid or craziest questions.

Anyone thinking about doing the CBT, or DAS should go and see Wayne at Riverview before thinking about using anyone else - you will not be dissapointed.

I'll pop back as soon as I've picked up a bike :)

i would highly recommend learning with these guys.....!!!!! i had never riden before starting here but was soon getting to gips with things under the watchfull eyes of Wayne, who accompanied me throughout my tuition. thnaks Wayne for all your help!!!!!!

Best regards

Gary

Spent three days training with Wayne and ended up passing Mod1 and 2 with no minor marks. Brilliant training which goes above and beyond test standard. Decent craic aswell which helps! I would definately recomment them to others and will more than likely stop by when I pick my CBR600 up!

Passed CBT with these guys, and had a brilliant day with excellent instruction.

Thanks very much
