Recommended Training Schools in Spilsby/Boston/Louth Area
Discussion
I've decided that I have no excuse for not getting round to this in the coming Summer. I'm in my mid 30s so will be going for the full licence.
Does anyone have any recommendations for a good instructor/school in the Spilsby/Boston/Louth area of Lincolnshire please?
Closest is: http://www.motorcycletraining101.com/ (East Kirkby)
These guys are in Louth: http://www.lmtmotorcycles.co.uk/training.html
If anyone has and recommendations on who to use or who to avoid I would be very grateful. Obviously not limited to the above two, just wanted to mention those in case anyone here has used them.
Thanks in advance.

Go to Lee Germaine, owner of MC101.
I have known him in excess of 10 years. He is one of the finest motorcycle instructors in the UK and watching him teach learners is a pleasure.
Absolutely great individual who, if he had a fault, doesn't let on just how much study and effort he has put into the art of understanding road craft, teaching the subject and, passing on shed loads of information to students who passed as a result of being taught by him.

Used LMT for my CBT a few weeks ago, two very good instructors with plenty of patience, and a nice informal atmosphere.
What they're like for proper bike training I don't know, but I'll be using them for my DAS when I'm ready.
I can only strongly advise you check out Lee before you do. What they're like for proper bike training I don't know, but I'll be using them for my DAS when I'm ready.

CBT booked with MC101 in a couple of weeks time.
Great!Ask Lee any of the following:
1. how is his "Nigerian wife"?
2. How are the midgets?
3. how is the nutty Turk?
4. How are the bears and cubs?
5. How's the nutty nurse and his fruit machines?
You might still have daylight left for the course after he's answered those q's

Well that was fun!
Very happy with how today went and will be going back for the next step as soon as I can. Lee suggested I just get straight on with the Mod1. Just need to get the theory test out of the way (already booked but more of a wait than I was hoping for).
Pleased it went well! OSM-PSL.OSM-PSL.OSM-PSL. And don't forget 'Gas on!!' Or slow riding.....Very happy with how today went and will be going back for the next step as soon as I can.

Unless he has already asked - can guarantee he will ask you how fast can you take a corner? Good one to ponder!

I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about now. He didn't ask the 'how fast' question but can't really see how I can answer that without crashing.Unless he has already asked - can guarantee he will ask you how fast can you take a corner? Good one to ponder!
Theory/Hazard perception sorted so back to Lee to get the big bike bits done whenever he can fit me in.

'Mod 2' passed (did Mod 1 a few days ago). I would be very happy to recommend Lee (MC101) to anyone, a genuinely nice guy who makes learning to ride very easy.
The whole thing has been a lot of fun from CBT to DAS. The only exception to this was the Mod 2 test. I convinced myself that I'd made a dangerous error very early on and so spent 90% of the test convinced that I'd failed. Very glad I kept my head (mostly) screwed on as it would have been very easy to fail by dwelling on the early error (which wasn't even a minor).
Now for my favourite part...new toy time! :-)
