Motorcycle lessons and IBT training in Dunboyne

Sitting right on the edge of the M3, Dunboyne is well placed for anyone learning to ride. You get the quiet of a Meath village with the busier city-bound roads only minutes away.

Learning to ride from Dunboyne

Plenty of the Dunboyne riders we teach commute towards Blanchardstown or the city, so we make sure you're ready for both the quiet roads and the heavy stuff. Early lessons stay somewhere with room to make mistakes, and the busier roads come later as your confidence grows.

We cover Dunboyne and nearby Clonee, Maynooth and the western Dublin commuter belt.

  • 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.
