Motorcycle Training in Norfolk for all abilities
|
Anglia Training Services offer a variety of courses, conducted in a friendly manner that makes your training feel more like a day out rather than a task.
Whereas most training centres are based in car parks or industrial spaces, schools and playing areas, Anglia Training is different. We are located at a permanent site with a large 625 metre circuit, boasting corners, straights and safe grass sidings (handy for those still a little sketchy on the controls). Unlike other training areas, you will have plenty of space from other riders and the opportunity to get the bike up to speed as and when you are ready.
All of this means that even before you get out on the road, you feel experienced at dealing with your motorcycle in a 'real' environment.

The track, set in the heart of beautiful Norfok countryside.
 
So whether you want a moped, or a sports bike, we will have a course that allows you to fulfil your dreams and enjoy the freedom of two wheels.
 
A group of pupils on CBT get shown the controls before moving off for the first time around the track.
 
Amongst this group was Lewis Cornish who in 2009 was crowned the NORAsport DEP 250 Supermoto National Champion. Lewis uses the track to practice throughout the season and Anglia Training Services would like to congratulate him on this tremendous achievment.

New Test!!...No Problems!!... Train on our circuit and be well prepared!!...

On the 27th of April 2009 the Motorcycle test got harder and is now split into two modules, Module 1 and Module 2. Module 1 has to be passed before taking Module 2 and involves some slow riding exercises including a slalom, figure of eight and a u-turn. It also includes 2 higher speed manoeuvres that have to be taken at no less than 50kmph, with a swerve and an emergency stop. For full details go to the DSA web site, http://www.dsa.gov.uk/Category.asp?cat=405
There is no doubt that the hardest part of the new test is achieving the correct speed for the higher speed manoeuvres and you only get 2 chances to get it right. The key to success is knowing what gear to be in when you come around the corner towards the examiner so that you consistently reach the speed without having to look down at your Speedo. We can train for this on the safety of the track and can record you speed by radar so you will be well prepared for the requirements of Module 1.

Module 2 is similar to the old test but without the u-turn and emergency stop, which are now covered in Module 1 and involves a 35 minute ride around the test centre area where we practice before your test.
So how hard is it compared to the old test?
There is no doubt that the new test is harder than the old test and it has received a lot of bad press and quite a lot of scare mongering which we believe to be unfounded. To pass the Mod 1 you need to be a better rider than was previously required for the old test but surely that cant be a bad thing. The swerve manoeuvre has received the greatest criticism but we take the view that if after passing your test you can buy a machine that will accelerate to 60mph in less than 3 seconds, it's not a bad thing to be able to swerve to avoid something at a mere 32mph. By using the track to develop you confidece gradually and under safe conditions the swerve manoeuvre is not a problem but of course very few training schools can offer this facility.
Alex and Charlie were our first 2 pupils to take the new test and they passed both modules first time with flying colours. They both felt well prepared for the Mod 1 after the time we spent on the track. Well done to them both, it was nice to get off to a good start. |
