Betta Biker Rider Training Ltd.

Betta Biker Rider Training Ltd. Betta Biker Rider Training provides CBT, DAS, and ERS, rider training. I started riding in 1976. Each has its own story and each has a special place in my heart.

My first ‘proper’ bike was a Yamaha FS1E DX and to this day that first year of riding has been the best. Since then I’ve owned, stripped, rebuilt, serviced, and ridden many bikes. In 2007 I decided to put my experience to good use and learned to train others’ to ride. I’m now proud to say that I’m a qualified DVSA CBT, DAS and ERS instructor. Additionally, I am a BMF advanced rider, trainer and ex

aminer, and the BMF North West region Chief Instructor. I also have a Shoei-shaped head. Motorbikes are my enduring passion. I believe that training others to ride is a privilege and I take care to do it well. Importantly, I also do it with good humour because if it ain’t fun, it’s just not worth doing, right?

New Google Review for Better Biker! "★★★★★ — Rahul Verma"

I have done my CBT, Mod1 and Mod2 training here and passed in one go. Nic is very good trainer, he is funny and keeps the mood light which helped me a lot during the test. The price is very fair too. Thanks to Nic, I got my full license within a week.

Tuck in or sit up? Wind decides for you

Ever notice how tiring a motorway ride feels compared to back roads, even at the same speed? Wind resistance is doing more work on your body than most riders think about.

Sitting bolt upright turns you into a sail. Your chest and shoulders catch the air, which drags on your arms and wears out your grip a lot faster than it should.

Dropping slightly forward, elbows bent, shoulders relaxed, cuts that drag and gives you steadier control at speed. It also keeps your weight off your wrists, which helps on longer rides.

Crosswinds are a different problem entirely. A loose, ready posture with your knees gripping the tank lets you absorb a gust instead of fighting it.

We cover body position properly during CBT because getting it right early makes every ride afterwards easier. What's the windiest ride you've had to deal with so far?

Smoother throttle control starts with your wrist

Snatchy throttle is the number one thing that makes new riders (and their pillions) feel sick or unsteady on a bike.

The fix isn't more speed, it's less panic. Roll the throttle on gradually rather than cracking it open, and the bike settles under you instead of lurching forward.

This is exactly the kind of thing we drum into people during CBT. You'll spend real time in the training area practising smooth, progressive acceleration before you're anywhere near a road.

A few things that help:

Keep your wrist relaxed, not gripping the throttle tight
Match your throttle input to your gear, not just your speed
Think "ease in, ease off" rather than on/off

Nic's been riding since 1976 and still says the smoothest riders are the ones who stopped chasing speed and started thinking about control. What's the one habit you had to unlearn when you started riding?

Number plates: don't let this catch you out on your CBT

Your CBT bike still needs a legal, properly displayed number plate, even for a 49cc scooter or 125cc learner bike.

That means correct spacing, the right font, and no fancy fonts or backgrounds that make it hard to read. Police do stop riders for this, and it's an easy fix that's often ignored.

A few things worth checking before you ride anywhere:

Plate must be securely fixed and clearly visible, not obscured by mud, a tow bar, or an accessory rack
Characters need to follow the standard format and spacing, no squashed or stylised letters
Reflective plates need to show white at the front and yellow at the back

None of this trips people up during CBT itself, since we provide the bikes and equipment. But once you're riding your own machine afterwards, it's on you to get it right.

Have you checked your own bike's plate lately, or just assumed it's fine?
