Rider Safe

I had no prior experience in riding bikes but kudos to Don and Dean because they were amazing. They were patient but firm. The beginner course was very informative specially on how being safe on the road as a rider.I did make lots of phone calls before getting booked. Tip: Make payment over the phone with Service SA first before calling them for booking.

So the 1st time I went I didn't feel overly comfortable. I had an instructor who kept calling me lady instead of using my name. He told me I pretty much failed (that was his exact words) after the second time out on the bikes and said I may just put you on the scooter instead of the bike so you have less to learn (if you pass on a scooter all you can ride is a scooter (automatic) until you redo the course on a manual bike.) Once the other instructor was told to pay me extra attention and actually talked through a few thing's with me and told me what I needed to work on I was okay. I failed the 1st day as they weren't confident with me. I re booked a couple weeks later making sure I had different instructors. That made a huge difference. They were encouraging, they used my name and they treated me as they did the rest of the class. The 2nd lot of instructors were also relaxed and whilst still taking the safety of all of us seriously were able to joke around which made the environment a bit more relaxed. I passed that class and now have my licence.

Welcome to the ridersafe training program. Ridersafe is open for bookings between 9am to 430pm business days, Monday to FridayPrior to making a booking, course payment must be made over the phone or at your local service SA centre. For phone payments please contact 131084A member of our team will attend to your call as soon as possible.Then after 20 mins they’ll hang up so you can call again and again and again. I’d like to rate it properly but all I’ve heard for the last two hours is the above sentences and I’m getting really annoyed!

Just sitting here reading all the reviews while waiting to be answered. Cant wait to meet all the characters I've read about so far, that's of course assuming I'm even able to book in. By the sounds of it these guys are a bit of a joke. Might just go to Murray Bridge instead.

Very knowledgeable staff, which is so important when dealing with motorbikes and our roads. Thanks.

I have been riding bike from years but thought to book the session. Instructor Tarak just made it worth taking the session. Got some valuable skills. Highly recommended.

Need to have someone to answer phones for bookings. Have waited on hold for more than an hour twice before giving up. Ridiculous!!The actual course and trainers are very good

The instructor Tarak -here was excellent. He was a quite open with lots of helpful advice for new riders and answer all questions thoroughly, very patient and understanding if you are nervous as well. He was fun to have session with.

Intensive sessions but trainers were amazing. Beyond helpful and encouraging. I don't understand where the bad reviews are coming from. I had nothing bad to say about any of the trainers I had.

Even though I already had my license, I decided to do the course anyway... And glad I did.The trainers were fantastic and even though some of the content was old, was still relevent and applicable.You will get some valuable skills out of rider safe, highly recommend all motorcyclists do it.
