    Bike Instructors Bunbury?

    Junior flash wants to get his bike L's. He has no bike and no experience - can you recommend me a good instructor with a bike in Bunbury?

    There are 2 in Bunbury, only have contact details for one in the Instructors thread in the Two Fiddy section, couldn't jump out in front of the new one quick enough last week to get their info, and have forgotten to chase it up. They both use much the same route, mainly Prince Philip Drive around the Big Swamp Bird Park.

    Will try and hunt the number up for you, I'd say they were much of a muchness, if he doesn't get along with one at least now there is a choice of another


    Edit - Here is the new one

    MotorCycle Training School Bunbury Western Australia

    Picton WA
    0458 750 460


    This one is the older one

    Bunbury motorcycle school is my preference and recommendation never heard any complaints and he has well maintained bikes and good instructors, the other is kickstart rider training or something of that nature, I've heard nothing about the quality of instruction or equipment but previous well deserved reputation from his bike shop has tainted my perceptions so I can't recommend him with a clear conscience.
    Do you remember the good old days before the internet?

    when arguments were only entered into by the physically or intellectually able.

    They have a website if you need contact details I'm assuming www.bunburymotorcycleschool.com.au but if not it should come up on Google search

    Hey Flash, for what it's worth I would let him loose on a dirt bike in an open paddock somewhere if possible until he can do all the riding functions like start/stop, brake, shift gears etc without having to think about them.
    That way he can focus on the world around him while learning road rules etc for licensing.

    I used to work with Drew in my time in Bunbury - not related to motorbike riding. While I can't say anything of his instruction because it was before the time that I got into bikes, I always remember him as a thoroughly nice bloke. Go with him, I'm sure he won't let you down.

    No (personal opinion, YMMV)

    He really is a top guy without even trying, no big talking and genuinely wants more riders (quality and quantity) on the roads. Plus his bikes are easy to ride for a beginner.

    i had a lesson with kickstart - although the guy copped some flak for the forum shenanigans as a trainer i can't fault him, i guess see whos cheaper and whos available. there was a third dude in beach rd aswell - but im uncertain if hes still there.
