Alpha Motorcycle Compulsory Basic Training

Helmet fixed in place, leather jacket donned and boots on… Sorry, there is more to riding a motorcycle…

If you are looking to buy or ride a motorcycle or moped, remember, before hurtling off there is some mandatory training that needs to take place first!

Usually taking a full day, CBT – Compulsory Basic Training is a legal requirement for anyone that wants to ride a motorcycle or moped on the roads.

So, why is it so important?

The safety of our roads requires this training to make them as safe as possible, for drivers, pedestrians and the cyclists themselves.

So, what do you have to do?
