Rightway Riding Academy

Always a chance to learn something new no matter how many times you do there’s courses.

Was a great course learn’t heap of info for becoming a safer rider

Great course, great friendly instructor, very informative

Great course and learnt a lot.

Kept us all focused on the tasks at hand all day. Enjoyable day out

Neil is an excellent instructor, explains things well, uses good examples to reinforce his teaching.

A “hard work day”, with valuable learning

It was excellent, very much what I needed.

I recently completed Gold motorcycle training course and found it extremely valuable. The instructor was excellent, taking the time to identify and correct bad riding habits while reinforcing important safety principles throughout the day.

The course significantly improved my confidence in cornering and group riding. Particular emphasis was placed on hazard observation, understanding stopping distances, reading the road ahead, and recognizing line-of-sight limitations that can affect rider safety. The practical coaching and real-world examples helped me develop a much better awareness of potential risks and how to manage them effectively.

I would highly recommend this course to riders of any experience level who want to improve their skills, increase their confidence, and become safer, more aware motorcyclists.

Good course for reinforcing safety and also learnt a few new skills

Phil tailored the course content to suit the majority of the group. He was easy to relate to and a knowledgeable instructor

Good course, including refresher of techniques and some new learnings.

Excellent course, knowledgeable instructor, some really valuable, helpful knowledge passed on.

This was a great way to spend the day learning new skills and meeting new riders. Phil was excellent, very realistic instead of being pedantic and preachy. I learnt a few new skills which I will now need to put into practice. Thanks.

Professional organisation, excellent venue and enlightening experience. Kudos to Phil 🖖🏽

Great course. I really enjoyed and learnt lots of new skills.. Thanks Phillip.

A very worthwhile course, even though it was a refresher for myself, I still learnt a few more things, and honed what I learnt last time. Thank you Philip for a very enjoyable ride and day.

Excellent Course provided by Philip. Focused on key ares and tailored for the group. After the class work, on the road we put in a lot of technical riding and re-enforcing the learning. Philip provided recommendations for each person on the course and although I have already done a couple of these in the past, I was still able to learn some new techniques.

Read the room, riders with decades of experience and no accident history etc. Topics covered and training was therefore very relevant for the group.

We where a group of reasonably experienced riders . It was good to be able to take a step back and have someone independent give us a look over and point out his observations. Plenty of laughs and a good day for riding later. Would recommend that everyone gives it ago
Especially since it’s free and 25% off the aac levi doesn’t hurt

Excellent course, learned some new things, and a good refresher for others. Instructor clearly had the necessary skills and experience for the course. He also ‘read the room’ well and tailored content, delivery and the practical sessions to suit the group. Recommended.

A very informative talk and great feed back on riding and a lot of fun to boot!

Good instructor. Plenty of vauable tips and instruction for better and safer riding. Enjoyed the course.

Neil is very knowledgeable and great at teaching/giving advice. He has my Neil of approval.

I really enjoyed the Ride Forever Bronze course. The instructor was friendly, patient, and professional, and explained everything clearly. The practical exercises helped me improve my motorcycle handling, braking, cornering, and overall road awareness. I also gained more confidence and learned valuable skills to ride more safely on the road.

It was a great learning experience, and I would highly recommend this course to other motorcyclists, especially those who want to improve their riding skills and confidence. Thank you for the excellent training!

Byron was really helpful with skills for each person. This was a great course, and really fun. I enjoyed the day a lot.

Phil was an awesome instructor! He was very informative, and his constant encouragement to maintain a defensive riding mindset was really helpful. Building these habits creates more mental space to relax and enjoy the ride, which has helped me feel more confident and comfortable on my bike.

Thanks again, Phil, for a great course and for sharing your knowledge and experience!

I initially signed up for the course to get cheaper rego, but was pleasantly surprised by how much I learnt and the skills I could improve on. Phil was a wealth of knowledge and made the day both informative and enjoyable. A great course with a fantastic instructor. Highly recommend!

Phil was a wealth of knowledge and made the course both informative and engaging. We all learnt some valuable new riding skills and gained greater confidence along the way. His friendly approach and expertise made it a great learning experience. We would highly recommend the course to anyone looking to improve their riding skills or refresh their techniques.

Phil from Rightway that ran the Kapiti course was an awesome trainer.
Really appreciated the way he explained everything.
Learnt a lot during the day, but also had some great chats along the way.
Course was valuable, would recommend.

Just completed the Ride Forever Silver course. After more than 40 years of riding—mostly off‑road—and now returning to road riding, I found the course exceptionally valuable. The instructor was highly knowledgeable and experienced, with a practical, safety‑focused approach to road awareness and riding techniques that made a real difference. I would strongly recommend this course to anyone considering a return to road riding. Looking forward to progressing to the Gold course next.

Really enjoyed the day and Phillip new a lot about riding and staying in the safest position on the road to allow for maximum visibility a d your limit point if how far ahead you can see and looking for hazards, really enjoyed trying the different ways of taking corners through the twisties ,

I took away a lot from this course and plan to do the gold one next to forever improving my riding and making me safer on the roads well worth it recommend it

I really enjoyed the course, and learnt alot from it, the instructor was awesome, and practical part of it was really interesting

This was a great full day session, starting with some theory followed by the opportunity to practice relevant skills. I have definitely benefited from the further insight into body/bike position for cornering and the trail braking skills. I also gained confidence with emergency braking including relating this to following distance, allowing myself to ride safer with increased awareness.

Course was awesome, was good to get so many tips and pieces of advice about riding safely. After completing this course I look forward to doing more in the future with Rightway.

A really good day! Neil is a fine training provider, the group riding was super relaxed, and a lot of fun.

Had a great very informative day.
Neil does an awesome job of sharing his huge knowledge.
Highly recommend a corse with Neil to improve your motorcycle experience

Despite tornadoes, wind, rain and rubbish flying everywhere, we had a superb day.
The way Phil presented the new learning to us was awesome. I finally understood the way “lean angle” was calculated and what the up to now mysterious “trail braking” was all about!
Great props. Loads of patience. Awesome way to bring it across and then practicing outside. This was by following, looking, doing. Perfect delivery. I went home and was able to explain it to my husband….. we’ll be practicing these new skills together!! Thank you Phil. I’ll be looking forward to another day out!
