Motorcycle Coaching & Mentoring

Personalised Rider Development Designed Around You

Motorcycling is a journey.

The moment you pass your test, your development as a rider is only just beginning.

Every rider has different experiences, different goals and different areas where they want to improve. Some riders want to build confidence after a break from riding. Others want to refine their skills, prepare for longer journeys or simply understand how to get more from their motorcycle.

At SmoothRider, we believe that great riding is not about speed.

It is about skill, awareness, confidence and enjoyment.

Our motorcycle coaching and mentoring programmes are designed around you as an individual rider. We don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach because every rider, every motorcycle and every journey is different.

Whether you are a new rider looking to build strong foundations, an experienced rider wanting to refine your technique or someone returning to motorcycling after time away, SmoothRider provides personalised coaching to help you ride better and enjoy every mile more.

Ride Better. Ride Smoother. Enjoy More.

More Than Motorcycle Instruction

A motorcycle licence gives you the ability to ride.

It does not mean your learning journey has finished.

The best riders continue to develop throughout their riding lives by seeking feedback, understanding their habits and continually improving their skills.

SmoothRider coaching is different from traditional motorcycle instruction.

We do not teach you to pass a test.

We help you become a more confident, capable and aware rider on real roads and in real-world conditions.

Our approach focuses on:

✓ Understanding your current riding ability
✓ Identifying opportunities for improvement
✓ Building confidence through knowledge and skill
✓ Developing smoother motorcycle control
✓ Helping you get more enjoyment from your riding

The SmoothRider Approach

Coaching Built Around Real Riding

Every SmoothRider experience follows the same principles:

Awareness Before Action

Good riding starts with seeing, understanding and planning.

Smoothness Creates Confidence

A relaxed rider with good control is better equipped to deal with challenges.

Understanding why you do something is more powerful than simply being told what to do.

Every Rider Can Improve

Noticed the adverts for Smooth Rider and noticed the proprietor was Andrew Harrison who was my mentor and coach when I did my IAM so I was sold on having a days tuition. Knowing Andy from my IAM training I was expecting a good days riding, the reality was far superior, it was so much more than I had learnt on the IAM course and a grin on my face from start to finish.

I’m going to make this an annual pilgrimage for me (you can never have too much training)
