We pride ourselves in running our courses to your requirements and not that of a set course, all you have to do is tell us what it is that you would like to improve on or experience possibly for the first time.

At Adventure On Wheels Ltd. we believe that during your time with us your Safety is the most important factor, followed by your Enjoyment, which in turn encourages a greater and easier degree of Learning.  SEL= SAFETY-ENJOYMENT-LEARNING.

With over thirty five years' experience in teaching, coaching and assessing a multitude of activities to all levels of abilities and ages, Tom, our Company Director, understands that the ability to achieve is within us all, but that the duration and the presentation often has to be tailored to the individual, in conjunction with their enthusiasm and willingness to learn.

Too often we hear of the difficulties in achieving a pre-determined standard such as CBT within a designated timescale, often governed by cost over the set time.

With this in mind we have designed three programs to help you obtain your Motorcycle CBT and DAS etc, offering you:
bullet

a safer, more  professional approach to your motorcycle training,

bullet

more flexible choice,

bullet

better value for money,

bullet

enhanced opportunities to achieve your goals, with less pressure

These are the national speed limits and apply to all roads unless signs show otherwise

* The 30 mph limit applies to all traffic on all roads in England and Wales (only Class C and unclassified roads in Scotland) with street lighting unless signs show otherwise)

Single carriageway is an undivided road with no centre barrier.

Dual carriageway is a two way divided road with a central barrier that you are able to cross from side roads.

Motorway is a two way divided road with a central barrier containing slip roads. It is only possible to access a motorway via slip roads and there is no crossway traffic.
