Hi, I’m Graham and I am RJH Dealership Coordinator as well as RJH Site Manager at Manchester Training School.
I am also a DVSA Motorbike Instructor at RJH Motorbike Training School in Manchester able to teach CBT & Direct Access.
I took motorcycling up seriously some 10 years ago although i have been riding scooters and motorbikes since at the age of 17.
I have ridden a variety of Japanese motorbikes including Kawasaki, Yamaha and Honda.
My favourite is the one I ride now which is a 2018 Yamaha FJR 1300.
I ride bikes in all weather conditions, road types and traffic conditions.
I trained at RJH Motorbike Training in Manchester on one of their Motorbike Instructors courses with the Master himself Rob Howitt.
I undertook and successfully completed a 2 day assessment at the DVSA in Cardington and gained my CBT Instructors badge.
I continued to develop my Instructors qualifications and am approved to teach Direct Access too.
I also gained my Gold award in Advanced Riding and went on to become an Advance Riding Tutor.

I am now enjoying making more people safer on the roads and sharing my knowledge and skills of motorcycling.
We are getting fantastic reviews on our website with trainees that have enjoyed their time with us on their CBT & DAS courses.
I look forward to meeting you all soon for your CBT & DAS Training.

My name is Sylvia and I am RJH Northwich’s Training Centre Manager.

I am also a DVSA CBT and DAS Approved Motorcycle Instructor. I have worked for RJH on and off since 2010 when I first enrolled on a RJH 10 day Instructor Training Course.

In addition I am also RJH’s MCIAC Quality Coordinator.
RJH Northwich are a KRTS school which means we teach you on modern well maintained Kawasaki’s.

I love going to work every day and meeting new people and teaching them how to ride a motorbike or scooter.

My love for 2 wheels began when I was 3 years old and I loved my little BMX bike. I pestered my parents for years asking them to buy me a little motorbike and they bought me one, when I was 11yrs old, a little Yamaha TY80cc. It was brilliant and my love for motorbikes grew and grew. I have now been riding for 20 years on the roads.

I am now enjoying making more people safer on the roads and sharing my knowledge and skills of motorcycling.

I’m Ian and I joined RJH back in 2013 but have been a motorcycle instructor since 2005 when I decided to change careers and do a job I loved.
I’m a fully qualified Cardington DVSA Approved CBT and DAS Instructor and then went on to do a Diploma in Advanced Motorcycle Riding and Tuition achieving a distinction, ensuring that I’m at the top of my game and I continue to be assessed to a Gold standard of R.o.S.P.A .

I look after all of RJH back to biking, rusty riders and Advanced trainees across all of our sites so there will be a good chance you will see me.

I am RJH Standards of Instructors Coordinator too which ensures that all RJH registered Instructors are monitored 4 times a year and kept on top of their game which ensures you get the best tuition available.

In the winter months I also teach LGV which keeps me busy , and gives an opportunity to pass on some bike awareness to those big scary things on the roads.
My riding past has seen numerous bikes , sports, touring , Adventure and track … With a wealth of experience to pass on I look forward to meeting you and helping you “live the dream ” on two wheels …..see you soon Ian.

Hi, I’m Robin a Manchester lad born n bred.

I’ve held my motorcycle licence for nearly 10 years and will enjoy riding anything with tyres on but motorcycles are my passion!!
When I’m not riding them I’m fixing them up or cleaning them or drooling over them on eBay.

My bikes are between 1 and 100 years old including a 1919 BSA and a 2019 Honda Africa twin and everything in between.
Although a lot has changed and keeps changing in the bike world the joy of a full tank of fuel and an open road will always drive motorcycle innovation.

After a life changing accident in 2014 I began my journey to motorcycle instruction I’ve been teaching for 3 years and loved every second of it.

I specialise in the instruction of nervous riders or riders with a disability that although may not prevent them from riding does make it harder for them, I am patient and understanding that not everybody learns the same way.

I’m new to RJH but not to the bike scene having been associated with clubs and associations pretty much since my CBT.

The motorcycle community in Manchester is rich in choice and quality and learning to ride is the best life choice I could have made as I always tell my friends.

“Nobody likes Traffic“

Ride safe and keep it shiny side up

Hi, I’m Peter and I am based at Northwich/Oakmere as an RJH CBT Instructor. Having left behind the engineering world, I passed my motorbike test in 2015 and never looked back. I have taken part in various UK tours with my Suzuki 650cc and 1000cc.

I progressed to pass my IAM test in 2016 and decided to pursue a career with my bike. I completed my 10 day intensive instructor course in 2018 with RJH.

The job is very varied, no two days are the same. The satisfaction of starting the day with a complete novice rider and ending the day with a confident, road safe CBT candidate is really rewarding.

My name’s Mik and early in 2019 I enrolled on the RJH 10 day Instructors Training Course.

I am currently a down-trained CBT Instructor at RJH Motorcycle Training in Northwich.

I’ve been riding motorbikes since I was about ten years old, starting with an off-roader on the hills in my native South Wales.

As soon as I was old enough, I got a road ‘bike (a Fizzy!) in 1978.
A long line of machines followed, a KH250 then up to a 750cc and beyond.

My past career includes HGV driving, welding, steel fabrication and brewery ownership before training for a job “behind bars”.

My current two ‘bikes are both Triumphs; a 1700cc Thunderbird Storm and a 1200cc Tiger.

I’m Pete and completed my 10 day instructor training course at RJH in December 2019.  I have previously worked in Education for over 25 years as a secondary school teacher, senior leader and headteacher.  I now aim to channel my years of teaching experience into training safe and competent bikers.

I first started riding on my sixteenth birthday and travelled all over the north-west on a 50cc moped until passing my driving test a couple of years later.  That was the end of my riding career until 2005, when my longing for another bike got too much and I bought a 125 which I kept for several years.  In 2012 I then took the plunge and booked a DAS package with RJH in Manchester, never thinking for a moment that I’d one day be back wearing an instructor’s vest.

I love to travel on my bike and take regular trips to the Lakes or Wales, and I’ve twice ridden through France and around Spain to the Costa Del Sol and my spiritual home of Gibraltar.

I’m looking forward to meeting you and learning of your own reasons for joining the biking community.

I joined RJH in a part time role back in February 2017 maintaining their social media platforms and uploading daily photos of pupils to RJH’s forum.

I am looking to develop my skills further and assist in any way I can in the marketing side. This enables instructors to spend more time with pupils thus given them a better customer experience.

You wont see much of me but I wish you all the best.
