About us
Who are Pit-Stop Training?
Hello!
My name is Paul Spreadbury and I am the founder of Pit-Stop Training, a well established motorcycling training centre focussing on reducing rider
risk whilst maintaining the fun activity of motorcycling.
After spending 10 years as a police officer as a emergency response driver, I have attended and investigated many vehicle incidents within this county.
From this my passion for safer riding has grown into setting up my own business bringing my style and ideas into fruition.
Training will be given in a relaxed and friendly approach through a structured client centred need.
The enjoyment gained from riding a motorcycle skilfully and safety is second to none. However it takes confidence, excellent riding skills, physical co-ordination and balance. Keeping your skills up to date and checking that you have not become overconfident, complacent, or picked up some bad or dangerous habits is something that few of us do.
Why choose Pit-Stop Training?
We are committed to giving the best service, we use a classroom to deliver some of the Cbt package, which is perfect for wet weather or very hot summer days.
We use visual aids such as video, whiteboard, diagrams & up to date teaching techniques.
