Services
Peter Cairns Motorcycle Training is an established business, owned by Peter Cairns and assisted by his son, Scott Cairns, who has been with the Company from the beginning along with Julie who manages the business from the office, taking care of bookings and everyday business. As Peter has trained for a number of years a lot of his business comes from recommendations and dealers.
We offer intensive training on the bike courses. We have a vast amount of experience in the motor driving industry and a wealth of knowledge to share. This is the starting point for all trainee motorcyclists and is normally a one day course. The first part of the CBT is conducted on an off road manoeuvring area where you will ride the machine until competent.
The New Test has had quite a bit of bad publicity in its early days, making it quite a daunting prospect. I have been teaching this test since the beginning and have found that with the correct training and guidance it is easily achievable. I have found pupils actually begin to enjoy the practice sessions when they have successfully reached the required standard.
If you have a provisional motorcycle licence, you MUST satisfactorily complete a Compulsory Basic Training (CBT) course. You can then ride a motorcycle up to 125 cc with a power output not exceeding 11 kW on the public road, with L plates (in Wales either D plates, L plates or both can be used), for up to two years.
If you take out a policy with them quoting reference T313, not only will you preferential rates, but also Peter Cairns Motorcycle Training will fill up your tank to a maximum of 15! A double bonus! Once your policy is up and running, let us see a copy of the policy and bring us your receipt for your fuel (Maximum 15) and we will reimburse you.

Absolutely great!
10/10 first class service ensured I passed my CBT.
My first time ever on a motorcycle.
I was a bit shaky at first and couldn't balance properly but Scott was patient and worked with me throughout the course to build my confidence. I got the hang of it over time (quite quickly actually because of Scott) and had some extra time later to practice and get better.
You start out in the class room with a briefing and lecture about safety, equipment, etc, then you're introduced to the bike itself and how to ride it. You start off in the car park with some basic manoeuvres like starting

What a feeling. Thank you so much for your level of professionalism and knowledge and putting a big smile on my face passing . Anyone reading this, come and do your license with these pair . You won’t regret it .

Just passed my test with Peter. From the word go the training was structured, he filled out a complete diary of my 15 lessons and test dates. From start to finish it was three weeks and I am now street legal. When Peter wasn't instructing Tony took over. Both of them excellent instructors who want the best from you. Really couldn't recommend them enough. Thanks Peter Cairns motorcycle training

Excellent service, well tailored to the individual riders needs. I never thought id pass my mod 2 first time but with the experienced and supportive tuition i recieved i got through it. Lessons are well planned, the bikes are new and well kept and ideal for new or experienced riders. From a cbt to a direct access course id well recommend peter cairns motorcycle training. (And the heated grips are a god send if your doing it in the winter time!)

Absolutely fantastic!
Peter was remarkable with his patience and teaching. I went from being an anxious novice with no prior bike experience to achieving my CBT with a huge smile on my face!
Amazing value too as I went with none of my own equipment so had to borrow helmet, gloves, vest plus bike from Peter’s range and it all looked like new and of great quality.
Really chuffed with the entire experience and definitely recommend you look no further than here to book your CBT.
