I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Dave for just over a year and in that time I’ve grown to admire Dave both as an instructor and a personal friend. No matter what the training issue problem may be Dave will easily identify it, resolve it and have you moved onto the next exercise before you can blink.

In his spare time Dave loves nothing more than hitting the road on his Harley along with his partner Shirl whom ride a Harley herself. Only last year they spent 5 weeks touring the USA ending up at Sturgis for the 75th anniversary.

Dave currently owns 3 bikes a custom Harley 883 Iron, a Suzuki Marauder 800 & a Yamaha Fazer 600 for teaching.

Rest assured you’ll be in safe hand with Dave for your CBT.

I’ve been riding for over 30 years and spent 10 of those teaching CBT & DAS. During those 30 years I’ve spent a fortune on bikes many of which I wish I still had, from a Honda 50 to a 103cui Harley Fat Bob. I’ve owned touring bikes, sports bikes, street fighter’s & adventure bikes. Different bikes for different moods just so long as I had 2 wheels I was happy.

A big part of biking is meeting new people whom share the same common interest BIKES. Years ago bikers were very easily identifiable, (the bad lads your mother warned you about) “lol”

But more and more over recent years I’ve had the pleasure of training a vast amount of bikers from a wide range of backgrounds, Airline pilots, a senior orthopaedic surgeon, senior police officers, the head of a multinational company, a Priest and a Rabbi to name but a few.

So, no matter what your background, your gender, your age or riding experience I’d love to welcome you to Chorley Yamaha Bradley Rider Training to start your riding experience.

And just to finish off students often ask what bikes I ride, well currently I own 3, a Harley Fat Bob, a BMW K1200S & a Honda XL1000 Varadero for teaching.

Richard is a retired traffic officer whom whilst serving with Merseyside constabulary attained class 1 advanced certificates for both motorcycles and cars, not happy riding police bikes for a living he decided to give something back into motorcycling and became an instructor 30 years ago.

Like myself Richard has worked for many different companies over the years and is a very highly respected member of the instructor community.

After retiring from the police Richard obtained a diploma in Advanced Riding and instruction from the DIA (DIAmond) association which allows him to prepare students for the Advanced test.

Over the years Richard has owned many different bike from sports bike to off road trail bikes. Richard currently owns 2 bikes a Honda NCX 750 that he uses for teaching and a BMW k1600 tourer that along with his wife tours the UK and Europe.
