Cannot now attend. Please cancel. Thx

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!

Neil was great. Hit the mark with the combination of technical and fun stuff. A good day.

Yet another fantastic day out on the bike learning from Neil’s vast experience, his approach to teaching and passion for motorcycle training is second to none as well as the knowledge he freely shares to make your riding skills that much better and each ride more enjoyable. I highly recommend Neil stoddart if you’re interested in becoming a better and safer motorcyclist.

Excellent course fully recomend to any level of rider

Phil’s approach and communication were outstanding. Enjoyed every minute of the course. Refreshed and learnt on numerous aspects. Thanks Phil!

A good mix of theory and practical tips and advice. The advice given on the road was particularly useful as we were able to apply the theory immediately and see the benefits.
I firmly believe that I am a better and safer rider as a result of taking this course.

Well run, excellent convenor (Phil); mix of theory and practical was spot on. Hooking us all up with mics and headphones was a brilliant way to give instruction and provide feedback.

Thanks
Tim

A great day withb a good bunch of people with a great instructer :)

It was a great day. The ‘classroom session’ was very worthwhile and provided a great start. I found the subjects covered were highly relevant and put across in a very interesting and informative way. Even after fifty plus years of riding I learnt a lot and understood more of the principles and concepts of riding safely. The on road elements were also good. A good mix of rural and urban riding that covered a range of scenarios and tested and helped refine my riding as well as reinforcing best practice. Phil put the whole package together in a very thoughtful and informative way and I keen to repeat the course in future to help prolong my riding ‘career’ safely.

Brilliant day - Phil was great who presented easy to follow and logical information during the theory part of the course followed by a effective practical riding skills session with constructive feedback- Highly recommend him.

Great course, use of props were great to visualise ideas being discussed in the class room section, then a fun ride to put it into practice. Registration discount is a nice side effect to help reduce the pain ACC is putting on the easy target in the two wheel community!

I completed the Ride Forever Silver course and had a fantastic experience! The instructor was knowledgeable, patient, and offered really practical tips that immediately boosted my confidence on the road. I learned so much about cornering, road positioning, and hazard perception. Highly recommended for any rider looking to level up their skills!

Explanation in morning was clear and concise. Afternoon put into practice what was learnt in the morning. Always good to improve riding experience.

Excellent course, made even more enjoyable thanks to Philip’s relaxed style.of presenting. Happily recommend Rightway.

Good day, Neil did a great job!

Excellent course, pointers given will be used on every ride i take

Excellent day from start to finish on the Gold Ride Forever with Philip. He is an excellent instructor, super helpful and patient. I learned a heck of a lot to help me improve, and highly recommend Rightway to anyone wanting the same experience. Thank you Philip!

I really enjoyed the Gold course, the clever use of props, to explain “why” and “how”
The instructor Phil, made the course easy to understand, I have done a few bronze, silver, Gold course, this is the first time I have really understood the different ride styles.
And different braking techniques.
I got to use all of them going around the hills.
The weather was fantastic, and the people were all amazing, everyone worked together, to help each other.
All and all a fantastic day.

Relevant training delivered in a relaxed, understandable style.

Enjoyed the site, classroom discussion, critical insights and demonstrations too. Phillips has an easy style of teaching which was inclusive to all of us. The on-road critique was my highlight, great tips for understanding the ‘why’, will use all of them to finesse my riding. Fantastic day!

Super helpful course, instructor was friendly and clear, improved my riding a LOT in just one day. Would highly recommend!

Great day. Most informative. I am now aware of some faults I had as a rider. Phil was very friendly and approachable. He explained the technical stuff in a manner fitting the group.

Very good presentation, knowledgeable and practical information with enjoyable riding experience, thanks for a great learning opportunity.

Very good

Learnt a lot.

An excellent and timely refresher on all aspects of safe riding in practical situations.
An instructive and enjoyable day out.
