Testimonials

 Lenny's guidance and thorough tuition enabled me to gain both my RE and R class licenses.  Safety is paramount in motorcycling and the roadcraft that Lenny taught me gave me the confidence not only to pass the test, but to continue to ride with confidence into the future.

Lenny is a Legend:
He has an amazing ability to blend humor and prefessionalism whilst staying in complete control of the situation.  In times of frustration, Lenny's direction and assurance allowed me to continue with confidence.  As a complete novice I felt safe and appreciated Lenny's understanding and patience.  Thanks Lenny.

I recently had motorcycle lessons with Lenny and due to work commitments I was only able to have a lesson once every fortnight.  I thought that I was never going to get there, but with Lenny's paitence and determination I managed to pass my test on my first go!  Lenny has the safety of his trainee at the utmost importance and hi knowledge of mortocycle road rules is second to none.  I certainly recommend Lenny to anyone who is willing to give motorcycle riding a go.

I was just graduating university as an accountant and needed something exciting to do before going crazy.  So I decided to get my motorbike license.  I gave myself a deadline of four weeks to get my license.  Without a doubt I would not have made that deadline without Lenny's help.  I went from having no experience on a bike to passing first attempt within a month.  Lenny was an excellent technical instructor but also made the experience really enjoyable.  At a time when I was stressed and nervous about exams.  Lenny was able to teach me aswell as entertain.  I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an instructor for their motorbike lessons.

"Grandad" was what Lenny nicknamed me when I first hopped on his bike!  Having never been on a bike before, it was so foreign that I was wobbling and zig zagging all over the place.  But after only my first lesson in the car park the bug had bitten and I progressed from being a grandad on the bike to having confidence riding through any piece of road.  Lenny taught me all the skills I needed to ride a motorcycle properly and safely, whilst having fun with the bike, which to me is what riding a motorcycle is all about!!!  I passed my test first time and the assessor said I was an awesome rider!!!  All thanks to Lenny, I'll definitely be back in a year for my R class!!!
