Motorcycle lessons and IBT training in Ratoath
Ratoath has grown fast over the years and the roads around Fairyhouse and out towards Ashbourne make for a good training ground. Quiet where you need it, busy where it counts.
Starting out in Ratoath
We meet a lot of first-time riders in Ratoath who've never sat on a bike before, and that's no problem at all. The first lesson is about getting comfortable with the controls somewhere with no pressure, usually the calmer roads near the village. From there we build up gradually until the busier runs towards Ashbourne and Dunshaughlin feel like second nature.
We also cover the area around Ratoath including Fairyhouse, Ashbourne and Dunshaughlin.
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.
