Relevant Feedback
It was great working with Neil to get my full motorcycle license. He was very helpful, and I came away, not only with my competency certificate, but with more information to reflect on and improve my riding skills further.
Thanks Neil.
Thank you Neil for a very professional and well-run assessment, you calmed my nerves and put me at ease so that I could do my best during the assessment. The training session beforehand seems like an absolute must. I can’t imagine doing the assessment without having done the training session first and I appreciate the dedication you show in order to help your students do their very best! It must be a long session for you but you don’t let that show! Thanks again, I’m one very very very happy rider!
Another great session riding today and felt super confident with the coaching you have provided over the couple of rides. Will be recommending you to anyone keen on being a better rider. Thanks again for helping me succeed with my full licence.
Great ride today with you Neil, and what a great result for Christmas! Your guidance beforehand was key to me achieving such a successful result. Prior to the ride I was feeling nervous, however, once we had finished with the training I was feeling confident and ready to sit the full assessment. Clear communication and expectations. Thanks for letting me have a run on the Honda 500x also! Definitely on my future bike wish list. Nga mihi nui, Ben.
