SmoothRider – Motorcycle Coaching, Rider Assessments & Touring Experiences

Ride Better. Ride Further. Ride With Confidence.

Passing your motorcycle test is only the beginning.

SmoothRider offers professional motorcycle coaching, rider assessments and premium guided touring experiences designed to help riders develop confidence, improve roadcraft and enjoy every ride to its fullest.

Whether you are returning to motorcycling after time away, moving onto a larger motorcycle, preparing for your first tour, or simply wanting to become a smoother, safer and more confident rider, every experience is tailored around helping you get more from your riding.

Based in Shropshire and operating throughout the West Midlands and Wales, SmoothRider combines personalised coaching with unforgettable motorcycle adventures on some of Britain's finest roads.

Motorcycle Coaching Built Around You

No classroom sessions.

No rigid syllabus.

No one-size-fits-all approach.

Every coaching day is designed around your individual riding and may include:

• Cornering confidence and bend approach

• Observation and planning

• Junctions and roundabouts

• Braking and acceleration

• Overtaking

• A-road and B-road riding

• Motorway riding

• Wet weather confidence

• Smoothness and machine control

• Touring and long-distance riding

Every rider develops at a different pace, which is why every coaching session is built around your goals rather than a fixed programme.

Start with a Rider Assessment

If you're unsure where to begin, a Rider Assessment provides the perfect starting point.

During a relaxed two-hour ride, we'll assess your current riding ability, identify your strengths, highlight areas for improvement and provide a written report supported by video footage.

You'll leave with a clear understanding of your riding and a personalised recommendation for your next steps.

Ride With The Dragon – Touring by SmoothRider

There is no better place in Britain to enjoy a motorcycle than Wales.

From legendary mountain passes and hidden valleys to remote reservoirs, medieval castles and spectacular coastal scenery, Wales offers some of the most rewarding riding anywhere in the UK.

Ride With The Dragon is SmoothRider's collection of professionally guided motorcycle tours, created for riders who want to experience the very best roads without the stress of planning routes or navigating unfamiliar roads.

Our themed tours include:

• Legendary Roads of Wales

• Forgotten Welsh Roads

• Hidden Lakes

• Castles & Legends

• Four Seasons

• Four Corners of Wales

Every route has been carefully researched and ridden to create memorable journeys with outstanding roads, scenic viewpoints and hand-picked coffee and lunch stops.

Whether you choose a one-day escape or a multi-day adventure, every tour follows the SmoothRider philosophy of enjoying the journey rather than simply chasing miles.

The SmoothRider Philosophy

Smooth riding is not about riding slowly.

It is about reading the road, planning ahead, making smooth, deliberate inputs and working with the motorcycle rather than against it.

Whether you are developing your riding skills or exploring Wales on one of our tours, the principles remain the same.

Better observation.

Better planning.

Greater confidence.

More enjoyment.

Smooth is Fast. Smooth is Safe.
