"Lenny Hanlon"

Last Saturday and Sunday I took my level 1 ,it was a dank dark foggy snowy rainy Saturday, more suited for indoor activities in front of a roaring fire. Vinny cooper was my coach and immediately put me at ease during our paperwork session .Out on the road Vinny was brilliant. As a returning biker after a long long time my confidence was a little low. Vinny assured me that my riding was good and just needed help in the road positions and a re set of my seated position. At the end of day 2 I could feel it coming together. Now I have booked my level 2 and 3 with Vinny as coach, cant wait 🏍️

"Great advanced Motorcycle Coaches, Tailored to you"

I was looking for advanced training and not sure where to look. I liked the look of the Rapid Training Bike Master series as it is quite different to the IAM and ROSPA offerings. I was due to have a 2 - 1 customer to coach, but i had a 1 - 1 with Martin around Shropshire and Mid Wales. 2 great days of riding on great roads, Martin is a fantastic coach with years of road and track experience. I was exhausted by the time i got home, but it was so worth it. Hugely recommend Rapid for advanced training.

"Highly recommend for any level of rider"

I spent a total of 6 days with Martin on road across 3 months, during this time his coaching helped me identify weakness and strengths in my riding and mental processes when riding.
By the end this had helped me evolve as a rider to be more aware and feel more relaxed when dealing with unknown areas or difficult riding conditions and progress my riding to a higher standard.

"Game changing coaching"

Game changing coaching! I had a day 121 with Les Smith and I have come away a completely changed rider for the better. The training was completely tailored to me, and progressive. I highly recommend. Not only did I learn a massive amount, I had a massive amount of fun too! Thank you so much Les and Rapid!

"Fantastic Experience "

Two more sessions left on Bike Master course with Rapid’s pro rider Phil Barley. So 4 road days completed and 2 track days. This has been an amazing experience my awareness confidence and ability on road has increased dramatically. I now really enjoy my riding much more its now a complete pleasure riding and not just about getting to a destination. The track riding has inspired me to go out and buy a track bike, which I took to the track last week, and again the skills learned gave me the confidence to have a fantastic day. Lots more riding to enjoy and can’t recommend Phil enough. The track days are also so well organised by a great team from Rapid. Overall a fantastic experience! Don't miss out!

"They get results "

My confidence and my understanding of what my Motorcycle is capable of has grown significantly since I began the Bikemaster course.

I am currently doing Level 3 and on Monday the 15th July had a really intense and informative days track riding under the supervision of Mark and Liam. Thanks guys for a brilliant day !
I’m looking forward to two more days riding on the road with Phil and putting into practice some of the techniques I learnt on the track.
Thanks again.
Nigel.

I have just completed Bikemaster level 3 with 2 days training on the road with Phil Barley.
For me the Rapid training experience has improved my riding immeasurably.
Phil has without doubt improved my riding and at the same time enabled me to be much more relaxed and alert on my bike.
If you want to improve your riding what ever level you are the Rapid team get results.

"BikeMaster Level 2 course"

BikeMaster Level 2 course
two day intensive, informative, exhilarating (and perhaps not for the faint-hearted!)

As responsible, thinking riders who want to take riding to the next level, this is a ‘must do’ course!

Why accessorise your bike when enhancing your riding should be the higher priority! of competency, expertise, the understanding of the Rapid rider skill set requirement, including motorcycle machine control and handling skills.

Further, the coaching is essentially one on one training, even though there were two of us on the course, i.e 1:2 whereby we had both previously passed IAM and ROSPA advanced rider training.

Phil (our professional RAPID Coach highly qualified approx 30 years experience) his expert coaching and instruction was of the highest calibre, tailored so that we did not move on to the next area for development, until we had each achieved and fully understood what was required of us before he/we moved on to the next area of learning.

This course will advance and enhance your riding skills, so as to make all of us safer and more confident riders.

Whatever your current level of motorcycle riding skills, you will learn something new!

In between the (and I mean this lightly) ‘fast and furious’ national speed limit training and riding, I was taking breathers, making the most when in 20 or 30 mph zones, using my bike’s cruise control, so as to recuperate from the exhilaration with all my senses being heightened and at their highest levels!

"Roadmaster 3 - Excellent!!"

Roadmaster 3! Many thanks to Phil Barley and The Rapid Team!!
These guys are ultra talented and manage to impart at least some of their wisdom with clear, concise, patient communications.
The result is that i now feel so much more in control of both myself and my surroundings.
Biking just got so much better!!
Can’t recommend this enough!
Thanks again to Phil & The Team!

"Top class instruction "

As an IAM member advanced rider I’ve done a tour with rapid of Yorkshire, Scotland and Lake District, also completed bike master level 2 at Blyton Park with additional road tracing around Yorkshire. I have now completed 2 days with Alan Thomas thru Hampshire, Wiltshire, Dorset and Somerset. What a fantastic instructor. Put me totally at ease, picked out a fabulous mix of roads, instructions were clear, professionally delivered. Also some great food and coffee stops. Has taken my skill set to a new level. Highly recommend Rapid for anyone looking to improve their skills on a motorcycle and get more enjoyment out of their riding.

You’re never to old to learn (I’m 59) and will do e refresher course next year to keep on top of my game.

"Fantastic coaching by proper professionals."

As an IAM Master, National Observer and a RoSPA Gold and Diploma Holder, I thought I had advanced riding pretty much sorted. However,, always looking to improve, I booked the Rapid Bikemaster Level 2 course. 1 day at Blyton, then 2 days on the roads.
Giles our Blyton coach for the day was brilliant, before each session on track, Giles would explain the concept and skill we were to practice for the session, after each session he would accurately debrief and coach any refinement required to improve the technique, his recall for each of the 3 riders in the group was amazing. He identified any issue and gave the information we could understand to improve, sometimes just a subtle change had a huge benefit, his attention to detail was fantastic. The last two sessions were great fun, as our skills developed it increased the pace, great coaching before and after each session to really help consolidate the new techniques and how to understand how they are transferrable to road riding.
I learnt so much in that one day by having such a professional and skilled coach like Giles.
The roads days were equally impressive. Les, our coach introduced himself and we were immediately put at ease and any nerves settled. After the intro, an explanation of how the training would be conducted according to our needs and requirements, the coaching is flexible to bring out the best in each client. Myself and the other client both chatted later how impressed and relaxed we felt riding out of the car park for the first time, knowing that we had a top class coach with us.
We then had some of the most professional, coaching ever, bringing what we’d learnt on the track, to the roads, Les would explain, then demonstrate with commentary, we would then incorporate his advice into our riding. It wasn’t riding aimlessly around roads waiting to come across conditions to deal with, Les knew the roads. After some advice about how to deal with double bends, we found ourselves on a road with many double bends, which we then rode a number of times in each direction, to really fine tune the technique. Again after Les coached safe overtaking techniques, we were on a road ideal for such opportunities. ( Coincidence ? I think Not)
Les gave all coaching advice whilst we were riding in an accurate and timely manner, explaining in a way that enabled understanding of the situation. In addition to an all round improvement, I took away a couple of absolute gems of understanding, real “light bulb” moments.
Overall, I was amazed at the incredibly high standard of coaching. The way things were explained, the expertise of the coaches far outshines anything I have experienced from other organisations.
I’m riding in a calmer, more efficient manner which brings the pace up safely. I’ve also “pinched” many coaching techniques to improve my coaching. A massive thanks to Giles and Les for everything.
Worth every penny.
