I have been a motorcycle instructor for over 25 years and have been riding, dare I say for over 35 years and counting!
1066 Motorcycle Training Ltd is a professional training school, my philosophy remains very simple, a good training venue, safe and secure, with instructors who want to be instructors and to incorporate fun in the training.
Over the years, training there have been huge changes in motorcycle training and testing standards, and I like to say we have been at the forefront of training ideas and implemented them in a safe and common sense way.
We have undergone a number of location changes over the years and now find ourselves at our forever home, at Freshfields, St Leonards on Sea.
I would like to say a big thank you to my family and friends who have helped me and put up with me through the setting up and running of 1066 Motorcycle Training, without them it would never have happened!
Most importantly, I’d like to personally thank you for choosing us.

Will said about himself:
“Legends foretold that there would one day be a CBT instructor, with luscious golden locks that flowed in the wind like the wheat of the Gods.
With a keen eye that could witness a student fall off a bike from 1,000 yards, a strong Will, some might say.”
