Motorcycle lessons and IBT training in Athboy

Athboy sits west of Trim with the Hill of Ward on its doorstep and roads that run out towards the Westmeath border. Quiet country riding with plenty of room to learn.

Getting started in Athboy

The roads around Athboy are calm, which makes them a good fit for nervous first-timers building their hours. We'll spend the early lessons getting you comfortable with clutch control and balance somewhere with no traffic, then bring in busier roads as you find your rhythm. Steady and patient, the way it should be.

We cover Athboy and the nearby villages of Rathmore, Kildalkey and the Delvin road area.

  • Bike and gear provided

    No machine of your own? You'll ride ours, with the gear sorted, so there's nothing to buy before you start.

  • Small groups

    On the road it's usually one or two riders per instructor: calm, RSA approved and at a pace that suits you.

  • Built around your test

    Everything ties back to what the examiner wants, so you're ready when test day comes.
