What to expect from your Honda Ride Free Experience session

Thank you for booking a Honda Ride Free Experience.  

We know that you will have an enjoyable time. Your Ride Free session is all about  giving you the feel of riding a motorcycle in a safe and controlled environment. This  may be the first time that you have ridden, or you may have ridden a little in the  past. Either way, Ride Free is designed for non-licence holders who want to get onto  two wheels – but want to try a bike first.  

So, what will happen on the day? We ask you to arrive at least 15 minutes before your session time to allow  us to welcome you and book you in. Our friendly Ride Free team will welcome you to the event and answer  any initial questions that you may have. They are there to put you at your ease, so if there is anything that you  want to know before your start feel free to ask.  

Please try to wear suitable clothing for the day – including jeans and sturdy shoes or boots. Once booked in, you will be provided with a safety helmet, a jacket, and gloves. You can bring your own equipment and  motorcycle clothing if you have some.  

One of the Ride Free team will then introduce you to your motorcycle. They will explain how a motorcycle  handles and balances and then take you through all the controls. You will have plenty of time to ask more  questions at this stage.  

Once you have completed this briefing it will be time to get on your motorcycle on the safe riding area. You will  be in a group of 3 riders and there will be 2 qualified and Honda Approved motorcycle instructors looking after  you. You will not be expected to do anything that you are not comfortable with, but our instructor teams will  encourage and guide you through the process of moving off and stopping, using the brakes, gears, and clutch.  

Your session is designed to get you riding up and down the area at your own pace – but always with your  instructor on hand to help you. Your riding session will last for up to 30 minutes, after which our team will be  on hand to talk you through your next steps. You may want to consider a CBT (Compulsory Basic Training)  course or feel ready to book a full licence course. The training staff will give you all the details you need.  

Honda dealership staff will be on hand to discuss what Honda models may suit you and discuss what you want  from your motorcycle. They can tell you all about the deals that are available. As a participant you will be  entitled to a £50 voucher which you can use against the cost of a new 125cc motorcycle from your Honda  dealer – just ask for details. In addition, if you choose to take a full licence course Honda will help by giving you  the chance to save up to £900 when buy a new Honda from your Honda dealer. All you have to do is train and  pass your test at one of our approved training partners. We are sure that you will have a great time when you  visit us to take your Honda Ride Free Experience.
