Thankyou to the lad's for Saturday & doing my CBT - Put me right at ease bearing in mind i've not ridden for 4 year's. Can't wait for Tuesday's lesson and getting on a big bike �
Superb place with superb people. Had never even sat on a bike before attending here for my CBT. Excellent tuition and support got me straight through both the CBT and the Direct Access with no problems at all. Very friendly, very professional.
Passed my test first time with Bud, really nice guy and a great instructor
Original: Highly recommend BUDS! They took me from unable to do a figure 8 to passing my MOD1&2 with zero faults in less than 15 hours riding time. Keep up the good work!
License Upgrade: Once again buds have been nothing but great! They helped me shift the bad habits I'd picked up from riding for a year and got me through my tests no problem. Honestly nothing but good things to say about BUDS and the people that work there. :) 5* again!
Massive thanks to every one at buds. Felt at ease from the moment I went in. I'd Never touched a bike before today and left with my CBT hopefully going to do my DAS before long. Top notch instructor's, top notch bikes and top notch facilities. Thanks very much guys. Oh yea and free tea and coffee facilities which is allways a bonus. Hopefully see you again soon A*******
Many thanks to the team. Got me through my Mod 2 today. Boosted my confidence on the road and talked me through the things I kept getting stuck with elsewhere.
