North London Motorcycle Training - www.northlondon-mct.co.uk Review

Before you can do a DAS with NLMT you have to do an assessment, fine as I also ride to work. When I met my instructor he looked like he had been there for years which was a good thing I believed and then he wasted no time in having a pop at the motorcycle training school that I did my CBT with after finding out who it was. Before we went to the bike, I had told him which bike I already owned and then when I sat on the one he pulled out, I wasn't given anytime to familiarise myself with it but instead, we we're straight out onto the busy road. He could see how "uncomfortable" I was at first with this bike and its lowered seat, as I tried to adjust myself but simply told me through the radio-com, to forget it and carry on. Great. In truth I adjusted myself very quickly while riding, had no choice really and went through roundabouts, signalling correctly on roads etc.


When we got back to base I was told that I needed the maximum time training for the DAS and if I failed, I would have to pay "x" amount for a re-test which would turn out to be more expensive than if I just did the additional day that he said I needed, with them. No problem if that's the view of the instructor but I decided to take myself elsewhere.
