Great Riders Are Built On Strong Foundations
Confidence on a motorcycle does not come from luck or bravado. It comes from basics that are learned properly, practised well and built on for life. That belief sits at the heart of everything Motorcycle Riders Hub does.

Rushed basics
Training often moves quickly from one skill to the next. Clutch control, observations and slow riding are covered, but not always understood well enough to become second nature.
Limited practical time
Time on the bike with an instructor is precious and short. There is rarely room to revisit a skill until it truly clicks.
Then on their own
Once the test is passed, most riders have no further guidance. Small gaps stay hidden until a tight turn, a steep junction or a busy roundabout exposes them.
Every Skill Rests On The One Before
Good cornering depends on good observation and speed control. Smooth slow riding depends on posture, clutch and rear brake working together. A calm emergency stop depends on hours of correct braking practice.
When the foundations are solid, new skills slot into place and riding feels easier and more enjoyable. When they are weak, riders work harder, worry more and progress less. That is why we always go back to the basics first.
A Professional Instructor Since 1991
Simon Hayes has been a professional motorcycle instructor since 1991. Over 35 years he has seen the same pattern again and again: riders who struggle are rarely lacking in courage or ability. They were simply never given the time to build their foundations properly.
Motorcycle Riders Hub was created to change that. Simon and the team have trained and supported more than 30,000 riders, and every lesson in the Rider Development Portal reflects what that experience has taught them.
