Motorcycle lessons and IBT training in Louth
Louth might be the smallest county in Ireland, but it's packed with riders ready to get on two wheels. From Drogheda on the Boyne up to Dundalk near the border, the county has quiet roads to learn on and open routes to grow into.

Learning to ride from Co. Louth
Most Louth riders we train are starting from scratch, and that's exactly how we like it. We begin somewhere calm, then work up to busier roads once you're comfortable. No rush, no set script, just steady progress at a pace that suits you.
We cover the whole Wee County, from Drogheda and Termonfeckin in the south up through Ardee, Dundalk and the Cooley peninsula.
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.
