Rightway Riding Academy

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.

Great course

Practical and targeted instruction and feedback.

It was an awesome day. So instructive. I got so much good advices for highway ridining, pillion, slow speed, hazard detection and avoidance. Thank you so much. I loved the detailed techincal discussion about Bike chassis and gemoetry. Trail, Wheelbase, Rake and the effect of tyre pressure on the Bike handling.

Great experience to further develop your riding skills. Experienced instructors give real world examples and on road experience that support and further enhance the content being delivered.

It would be quicker to list the motorcycle courses I haven’t done with Neil - as aside from the BS+H, my whole MC licence journey and all 3 Ride Forever courses have been with Empowered Journeys. Since 2018 I have experienced different levels of training with Neil. Every time it’s clear you’re dealing with someone that has a wealth of riding knowledge who is always eager to get the most out of every rider. I would recommend Neil to anyone and everyone. I always come away having learned something new. Book your rider training with Empowered Journeys!

Had a most enjoyable refresher day, with a variety of different roads to ride, and many a u turn to do.
I had an issue with the earphones , there were times I couldn’t hear above wind noise, which I think is a quite normal problem.
Or as my wife says I’ve got selective hearing.
Thanks Em.

The mix of theory and practical content was excellent with well demonstrated real world scenarios that could be encountered on a variety of roads and conditions.
Philip delivered the course clearly with frequent demonstrations and explanations when required.
Overall I think the course was excellent and had some valuable reminders even for experienced riders.

The hole day was great with great information thanks heaps

Have done a few of these gold courses in the past, this would be the best I have attended.

Great theory session with useful props to help explain the concepts. Good comms on the ride with useful pointers along the way. Good mentoring of some of the less experienced riders. A great day.

I had a great informative day especially with the in depth theory of gyroscopic factors. On road positioning was also very helpful.

Excellent day riding with Phil from Rightway Riding Academy- learnt some great new skills and got plenty of time to practice and embed these. I particularly valued the practice emergency stops, with the feedback that as I don’t have ABS braking - I’m doing okay! Helped me stop judging and comparing myself to others and focus on my own skillset. Overall a really fun day out on the bike withs heaps of good learning thrown in. Highly Recommend.

Byron did a great job catering to the groups level, making it fun yet challenging. Would recommend him to anyone serious about improving their riding.

Very well organised

Great day. Good coach. Good group. Highly recommended

Well constructed and delivered course. Phil had a great manner and did a great job adapting the plan for the day as we went along. I enjoyed listening to the others on the course and learned a few things which I found myself applying on the ride home. I would highly recommend Phil/Rightway and the gold course to anyone who wants to have a great day out and brush up on their skills.

Excellent course content, great refresh of knowledge. Well presented, overall an excellent and engaging day.

Advanced riders in the group and Philip was able tailor specific feedback and reinforce good skills with gentle suggestions for improvement - look forward to next one

A fun and informative experience. This is the second gold course I have taken.
