The Mike Waite Courses

Police Advanced Riding Techniques

These tremendously enjoyable and most popular courses are more practical than theory, with 95% of the motorcycle safety training taking place on the open road. Much argument and debate has taken place about the best riding method. One organisation that has never failed to impress with the skill and precision of its riders is the police; it has always led the way. On the Mike Waite courses, that you might ride to the very best of your capabilities, your trainer passes on to you the advanced techniques of the police system.

Mike Waite, an ex-police motorcycle instructor of vast experience set up these motorcycle training courses and has trained hundreds of motorcyclists in the police system of riding and motorcycle safety. Your SortedRide motorcycle training course instructor, Terry Dodd, has been chosen, and personally trained to the highest standard, by Mike Waite to pass on these skills to motorcyclists of all abilities.  more...
