they have plenty of reviews from faceless wonders on Facebook, all from people who have never reviewed anything else so probably defo not fake at all >.> - not sure I could drop in on them without an appointment I think they use abandoned car parks - I put their address into Google Maps and this is what I found (below pic) - they have Instagram, lots of recent Spanish pics - I already know I don't like them, the guy has a resting mad face but for the sake of the cbt it *should* be fine, doubt i'd risk over £1k on their das course didn't know about that one, I'll check them out on Google

which is exactly what I'll do more than likely (I can sense it lol) idk scotland just sucks for everything I had a right faff doing my car licence like 10 years ago with flakey driving instructors that would cancel last minute or just sit parked up talking about how to do roundabouts instead of y'know doing them, after 7 instructors I ended up watching a couple of youtube tutorials (quite long ones but infinitely more informative), borrowed a car and a friend with a car licence (<-- for legal reasons) and just sat the test without an instructor, passed with 1 minor (use of speed) pity I can't do the same with bikes - well technically I could with a 125cc after a cbt but I'm also not 17 and would prefer to get somewhere in a reasonable amount of time and not be overtaken by blooming Scania trucks xD - anyways rant over lol I heard back from some English places, would take far too long sadly, it seems they don't like the idea of cramming a DAS course into 14 days and would prefer instead i take more time to develop skills, which is fine if Premier Inn didn't charge nearly £100 a night these days xD soooo dodgy stealership / training centre in ayr it is then! lol with that one famously dangerous roundabout with traffic lights and lines and squares (whitletts) got the theory test booked for the end of February and my gear order isn't coming from sportsbikeshop until the 7th of March because of stock issues with rst apparently, but I did save over £100 in the sales so I'm happy to wait, I'll make a appointment with this dodgy place after i get gear then update with how much the cbt costed in the end haha xD

thanks, I'll have a look at the biker school website now here are the T&Cs I'm referring to: Terms & Conditions (fastrakmotorcycletraining.com) I'm glad I read them because I 100% think this is a money-grab business, they'll have insurance so I doubt a newbie dropping a bike will incur them any money loss

Hey, I'm looking into getting a full A license after years of putting it off and going for a car license instead xD I'm quite shocked at the government website that is meant to list CBT training places, my postcode area is KA11 and here's what I'm up against (results in order of distance): Pro-Bike Motorcycle Training (dead phone number, website and Facebook page) Pegasus Bike Training (same as above) Fast-Trak Rider Training (£1k excess to pay for any damage to the learner bikes(including dropping them) T&Cs state the 10 different ways you lose your CBT fee and need to repay, including for simply being late or not wearing "appropriate" clothing - this is also a motorcycle dealer and protective gear store so sounds like a cash grab to me, especially when you look at their pricing) Bike-It Motorcycle Training (website out of date, lacks any real information and dead email address) I won't bore you with the rest of the listings but is there any legit motorcycle training centre in Scotland at all and one that doesn't charge rip-off pricing? I am old enough to do DAS but it would be a ball-ache having to stay at a hotel in England for 2-3 weeks just to get a motorcycle licence for reference, a Nottingham-based place charges £950 for DAS including cbt and fast trak (that motorcycle dealer) charges £1150 <-- English prices are usually inflated so this Scottish place charging more than England is defo overcharging IMO Soooo any recommended places from the good people of this forum? cheers
