Critics Review
I think it’s a fantastic book. It’s just what biking needs.
I think it’s a fantastic book. It’s just what biking needs. * Maria Costello MBE, TT racer *
At last – an intelligent and non-patronising approach to rider training. The perfect introduction for a novice, and 31 years after passing my test I learnt stuff too. * Hugo Wilson, Editor, Classic Bike *
I wish this book had existed when I was starting out. It’s packed full of information that will make motorcycling more enjoyable and safer for everyone. Every motorcyclist, not just learners, should own a copy. * Peter Baker, Deputy Editor, Motor Cycle News *
This is a great book. It can help a lot of people. * Charlie Boorman, Global motorcycle adventurer and TV broadcaster *
Sean Hayes
Sean Hayes learned to ride in 1991, motivated by a desire to improve motorcycle training after hearing about a student’s accident. He founded Circuit Based Training at Donington Park in 1997, offering a safe learning environment before riders take to public roads. The school later relocated to Mallory Park in Leicestershire, having taught thousands of riders.
Rupert Paul began riding in 1978 and developed a passion for motorcycles. He qualified as a mechanic in 1983 and began his career in motorcycle journalism in 1985, holding editorial positions at various prominent publications including Performance Bikes, Bike, What Bike?, and MCN Sport. He has ridden a wide range of motorcycles and is deeply interested in the skill of riding. Paul organized one of the first public track days in 1988 and expanded this concept into multi-day courses. He has written extensively on motorcycle control, rider psychology, and riding techniques and continues to contribute to several motorcycle magazines.
