Thank you for teaching me to ride.
Bill and Andy many thanks for making my test today so easy.
The training was excellent, friendly, informative, also interesting.
Now that I have pased my D A S, I can go out and buy a bike (the 500's are better to ride), if the wife lets me.
I WOULD RECOMMEND ANYONE to take their test with BUMPY, OR C B T. HERES TO BUMPY BIG THANK YOU!

I would like to say a big thank you to all for making our visit so enjoyable on Saturday with Tanis our grandson, who had journeyed up from Luton, for his special birthday treat.
A special thanks to Paul the instructor for his time and patience and a job well done.
It was pleasant day out, one to be remembered for a long time.It is just a shame we do not live nearer, we would be regular visitors.
We hear so much about local councils stopping bikers of all ages from trying to enjoy themselves on private and sometimes public land, usually complaints about the noise, but they never seem to take the initiative to provide such as BUMPY.
It took a long time for me to find Bumpy and I tell everyone about the good work you are doing.
Hope to visit again soon.

Thanks to Bill and Andy (and everyone else whose hard work helps keep BUMPY running) for all your training and teaching me how to ride.
Had a lot of fun, a lot of laughs and a lot of adrenaline flowing throughout.
Thanks guys for making me feel relaxed and confident...so much so that I passed my DAS test first time on Monday (23rd june) with only one minor point.
I've still got a big smile on my face. Can't wait to get a bike now!
Also, thanks to James for teaching me the basics when I did my CBT last year.

I would just like to leave a note to say thank you to the staff at Bumpy for helping me pass my Motorcycle test first time!
A special thank you to Bill who boosted my confidence and made me realise that I can actually ride!! I really enjoyed my training time upto my test, and even had a few laughs along the way!! Bill is a top bloke and a fantastic instructor.
I will be smiling for ever more!!
Bumpy's reputation as one of the best motorcycle training schools is well deserved and I would recommend Bumpy to anyone who wants a quick, easy, safe and fun way ro learn to ride.
Thanks Again,
Nicola
Hi, I will echo what Nicki says above - I also passed DAS today with only 2 minors, and am over the moon!
Have already been surfing the web all night looking for a 'big' bike to buy!
Thanks especially to Bill - great instructor. Gives you plenty of confidence.....especially when he tells you "you WILL pass"!, leaving you with little option! Seriously though, great guy.
Would, and will, recommend Bumpy to anyone!
See you all soon!

Hi, Just thought I'd write in to thank Bill and Andy for the absolutely brilliant time I had doing my DAS.
My riding skills improved tremendously and it made taking the Motorbike Exam at the end so much easier.
I would recommend BUMPY to anyone. Informative, friendly and genuinely funny instructors.
I can't stress how much I learnt while I was out riding with Bill and Andy. Keep it up guys, you've got a fan for life.

A MASSIVE THANK YOU TO ROGER WHO HAS GIVEN ME LOADS OF VALUABLE INFO AND PUT ME IN THE RIGHT FRAME OF MIND FOR ME TO HOPEFULLY BE TAKING MY TEST IN THE VERY NEAR FUTURE.
ALL THE BEST

Many thanks to James and Bill
James for his commitment in horrendous weather on a saturday when others would have been elsewhere.
Bill for just being Bill... Persistence over the clutch issue and for being the perfect "T*&%" and getting me the result I wanted.
WITHOUT ANY DOUBT I WOULD RECOMMEND BUMPY TO ANYONE WANTING TO GET THEIR C.B.T, DAS OR ANY OTHER VENTURE THEY OFFER.
All the staff at Bumpy make you feel relaxed and welcome.
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!
Craig Mcnulty
Passed DAS so going to be a positive experience but more than that I received relaxed and enjoyable tuition and thoroughly enjoyed my lessons.
Both bike instructors were knowledgeable, patient and approachable.
I would recommend BUMPY On Road training courses for those wanting to venture onto a bike safely.
Thanks very much guys.
Gavin Lord
The on-road training I recieved from BUMPY was exceptional.
They offer a very relaxed atmosphere which is good for calming pre-test nerves.
Although I didn't pass first time, I sailed straight through second time, at a different test centre with no additional training!
Matt Hirst
Just wanted to say a massive thanks to BUMPY for helping me pass my test yesterday. I am on cloud 9 at the moment!!!!!
A massive thanks has to go to Bill, he really had his work cut out with me, but his patience really helped and boosted my confidence and helped me to realise that I can actually ride a bike!!!
Thanks to Richard as well as he was also a great support when I felt that I just couldnt do it.
I left BUMPY yesterday feeling great but also sad that I wont see you again, you both became such a big part of my life!!
I can honestly say that I will never do another u-turn again!! And I dont have to cos have I told you that I passed my test?????
Thanks guys!!
Karen
Bumpy is a fantastic place to learn to ride. I want to thank all those who made me believe in myself.
Big thanks to Bill and Andy, I learned with both these guys from CBT to DAS and couldn't have asked for better.
Special thanks to Bill today for ensuring I got to grips with the U Turn just in the nick of time before my successful test.
Once again, thanks all it's been a great experience.
RIDE ON

I cannot recommend BUMPY enough. I haven't been on a motorcycle in twenty years and decided to take the DAS.
Was I nervous? - Yes.
After meeting the staff at BUMPY (recommended by word of mouth and many successful candidates), the fears were soon put to rest.
My confidence went up and up after each ride, largely down to Bill and Andy's encouragement and positive approach to teaching. They are highly professional and more importantly highly qualified in getting YOU through the course YOU need to pass. All this is done with expert tuition and emphasis on you having a Bloody good time whilst you learn.
Without a doubt, I owe a lot to staff at BUMPY for assisting me with a first time pass. The main thing is that I feel safe and confident as a result.
That's the instructors for you. Go to BUMPY and see that their facilities are everything you need. They have spare kit (if needed). The bikes are extremely well maintained - on site parking is available. Tea/coffee/kitchen facilities are available, the list goes on.
I could have summed this up in a much shorter way but I think the boys and girls at BUMPY deserve a huge amount of praise for their efforts.
Don't think of going anywhere else, BUMPY is everything that you need.
A big Thanks to all at BUMPY,
Paul Morris
I see from reading all the feedback that my comments are the same as all the other Bumpy customers!
Bill & Andy were great. Very encouraging, despite my increasing collection of brake levers!!
First class instruction, humour, encouragement and positive comments from all the Bumpy staff enabled me to pass first time.
Thanks xx
Diane Saunders
Just sat at home only 4 hours since I passed my test.
I would like to say a huge thanks to Andy and Bill for keeping me on the right track for my 3 day DAS course.
My confidence grew and grew with each day that passed and Bill never stopped believing that I would pass.
Had a great time and learnt so much from both of them which I will never forget.
I would not think twice about recommending BUMPY to my friends and colleagues.
Many Many Thanks again
Marcus Shaw
Thanks Bill and Andy for the training took a couple of goes but even the best fail sometimes (Bill still beat you at the U turn )
Nick Berry
Having done very little riding, I went to BUMPY to get my full Motorbike licence. The Instructors were fantastic from the off.
Andy and Bill in particular looked after us. Both had masses of experience in sorting out problems with my riding and gave superb tips and advice. They emphasised good, safe riding techniques all whilst having a good laugh. I struggle to think of anywhere else where someone could go for a better service.
I passed my bike test first time and all down to BUMPY.
Thanks Lads!
Jon Mellor
Just want to tell everyone how good bumpy is, fun, interesting and a real laugh. I did my CBT and felt really comfortable on the roads. Cheers Bill and Jonathon, I'd definitely get in touch if I want to change the cc in a couple of years (number 1 choice).

Thanks to all at Bumpy for helping me pass my DAS. A special thanks to Andy and Bill for their support, guidance and patience. I'm enjoying my Bonneville!
Ev Marcus
I would like to say a BIG THANK YOU to Andy & Bill who helped me pass my CBT & d.a.s test(3 minors) on Mon 8th Dec. The training team are excellent teachers and make you feel at ease when riding. The office staff are warm and friendly. This team i would recommend to anyone who is thinking about taking their motorbike test/CBT.
Once again a big thank you to all staff at BUMPY.
Ian Holmes
I would just like to give a big thankyou to Gregg and Jordan as they helped me get my bronze certificate. I got it 1st time I went there.
Great instructors and now im up in the the park on my own.
THANKS
Jake Uttley
Just a quick note to say a big thanks to Bill and Andy and the rest of the team at BUMPY.
I'd definitely recommend you. Excellent training, excellent value for money (they dont rip you off by asking you to do unnecessary training!), and just a great setup!
Cheers!
Craig Rothery
It was 20 years since I last rode a motorbike, and I was more nervous than I expected when I got back on one at Bumpy. However, it didn't take long for me to regain my confidence and develop my skills under Andy & Bill's tuition.
They were happy for me to take things at my own pace. I am only 5'4" tall, so wasn't sure I could manage a big bike. I had the option of continuing on a 125cc bike, but in fact I much prefer the 500cc alternative, so I took the full test on the big bike.
I dropped the bike a few times when practicing U-turns (mind over matter!), and they were even pretty cool about me breaking off the brake lever!
Not only have I now passed my test, but I have enjoyed the process and, even more importantly, am confident that I am a safe rider.
Thank you to everyone at Bumpy! I'll be back to show you my new bike and take some advanced training later in the year.
Julia Goodfellow
A big thank you to Bumpy for teaching me to ride properly!
Many thanks to Bill for making the learning experience enjoyable and fun.
I would recommend Bumpy to anyone who was thinking of learning, you will have a relaxed confidence boosting time!
Thanks once again, and i will see you when i get my new bike.
Martin Watson
I first heard about bumpy through a friend who recommended them very highly. My first thought was a bike school would be pretty much the same the world over. I had Bill who is pretty experienced - been riding bikes from before I was born that sort of thing...
My first lesson was to correct the mistakes and sloppy technique that I had been taught with my CBT training that was completed at another establishment, then the fun started!
I felt at ease with Bill and all of the routes with a nice mix of playing on national speed limi roads and filtering through busy traffic.
I failed my test the first time but through my own fault, one silly mistake but was told by the examiner a good ride up to that point. I brushed myself off took another and did it again and passed with flying colours.
Bill is an excellent teacher very straight talking and richard will do anything for you booking your test and getting your lessons sorted on the run up to it.
Thoroughly enjoyable and would recommend to anyone. Thank you Bumpy
