“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) ”
Post Test Motorcycle Training in Shropshire
Passed Your Test… But Don’t Feel Like a Rider Yet?
Passing your motorcycle test gives you a licence. It does not always give you confidence.
Many riders leave their test feeling uncertain about bends, busy roads, overtakes, riding with others or simply trusting their own decisions.
SmoothRider post test training is designed to bridge that gap.
This is not about repeating your test. It is about developing the skills, confidence and roadcraft that make riding feel smoother, safer and more enjoyable.
Based in Shropshire and working with riders across Telford and the West Midlands, every session is tailored to you and your riding goals.
Who Is This For?
This coaching is ideal if you:
✓ Have recently passed your motorcycle test
✓ Feel confident in some situations but not others
✓ Want to improve your cornering and road position
✓ Avoid certain roads or riding conditions
✓ Want to become a smoother, safer rider
✓ Want to enjoy your bike more and ride further
Whether you passed last week or several years ago, mentoring can help turn experience into confidence.
What We Work On
Every rider develops differently, so there is no fixed programme.
Areas may include:
Advanced Roadcraft
Develop stronger observation, planning and decision making to create a safer and more flowing ride.
Cornering Confidence
Learn to read bends earlier, improve positioning and understand how smoother inputs can improve control and confidence.
Building Skill & Machine Control
Refine braking, acceleration, balance and machine handling so your riding becomes more natural and less tiring.
Real World Riding
Work on the roads you actually use — from town riding and roundabouts to open roads and longer rides.
The SmoothRider Approach
SmoothRider coaching is built around five key principles:
Observation
Reading further ahead and understanding developing situations.
Planning
Making earlier, calmer decisions.
Precision
Placing the bike accurately and confidently.
Smoothness
Creating a ride that flows naturally.
Safety
Helping you enjoy riding with confidence.
Smooth is Fast. Smooth is Safe.
What Happens On The Day?
Your session begins with a relaxed discussion about your riding experience, goals and any concerns.
We then ride together and identify opportunities to develop your skills through practical coaching and feedback.
There is no pass or fail and no pressure — just useful mentoring that helps you become a better rider.
