Before, during or after your training, you are welcome to come and talk to our instructors or even other trainees about any topic, whether it is about the training we provide or motorcycles in general. One of the ways to do this is to sign up to our forum, which only takes 2 mins! The forum is an ideal way to find out about the quality of our training, bikes, kit and instructors, before you commit yourself to a course or spending money! .

Equipment Used


When training with us at Shires, you will be guaranteed the best possible motorcycles you will ever find to complete your training, all of which are either 08, 09 or 59 plates, (New = quality)!
These range from:
  • Honda 50cc Mopeds
  • Automatic Yamaha 125cc
  • Geared Yamaha and Suzuki 125cc
  • 4 x BMW G650X
  • 2 x BMW F650GS
  • 2 x Triumph Bonneville
You will be supplied good quality safety helmets, warm jackets, boots and gloves, along with our own High-Viz vests, all of which are changed on a regular basis. During your training at any time you can opt to buy the kit you are wearing at greatly discounted prices. Or you can buy them new.

We found that if trainees look and feel smart and safe it has a direct effect on thier confidence when training

There will be free tea & coffee available throughout the day
  

So for anything related to motorcycle training, either call us or better still pop in and see us. If you fancy a ride out with the shires instructors, trainees who have passed and friends, click here for more details or come visit us at the Derby branch, every one is welcome
These ride-outs are smooth and fun, we are not looking to break any land speed records
