About Bike Moore
bike-moore is committed to providing you with professional training which will not only meet, but exceed your expectations of the industry. Our training centre moves away from the days of the steel storage container or trailer 'class room', training on car parks, the use of tired, battered machines and not so witty anecdotes recited by a 'bad-ass' biker.With the introduction of our female instructor to compliment the team, we intend to remove the stereotypes of motorcycling, breaking down the barriers and delivering an environment where everyone feels at ease and is able to learn and improve their riding skills whatever their age, gender or background. Here at bike-moore we aim to provide a different kind of training environment - relaxed, fun, professional and safe.
Motorcycling is a greener form of transport, cutting down congestion, but with the rising fuel costs its fast becoming a more cost effective way of reducing the daily commute. It's also quickly becoming the transport of choice for the youngsters. Working with Oxfordshire County Council's road safety team, we are aiming to raise awareness within schools and youth groups that mopeds / motorcycles can be a fantastic way to gain independence, and that it can be done safely.
Motorcycling is safer today than its ever been. This is mainly due to training and the riders riding responsibly as a result.
But above all, IT'S FUN!

A CBT test consists of 5 elements labelled A to E. You will do these 5 elements in order throughout the day. The DVSA have produced an excellent short video showing you the elements of a CBT. Here is the video and below it is the description of each of the elements. Element A comprises of talk about clothing, safety helmet and equipment. This is also when your licence and eyesight will be checked and the aims of the course outlined. Make sure to bring your glasses or contact lenses if you wear them as you will need to read a registration plate at a distance of 20 metres. You will also learn: Element B introduces you to the machine and its controls and includes: Element C is the main part of the course and takes place on an approved training site (CBT pad). This is when you will learn to: Element D is a return to the class room prior to going out on the road. You will get a full briefing explaining: Element E is where you put all the above into practise by riding on the road. You will go out on the road with an instructor two at a time with a radio link. You must do at least two hours of road tuition, which must include doing a U-turn and emergency stop. At the outset the instructor will give plenty of guidance and help, but towards the end of the time on the road the instructor will be looking to see if you can get safely from one place to another without hurting yourself or anybody else.
A CBT test can normally be completed in a day, but may take longer if you need more time to master the control of the motorcycle or moped. Knowing how to ride a bicycle will really help, so if you have not ridden one for a while it's a good thing to do before you take your CBT.
If you do not complete your CBT to the instructors satisfaction then you will be asked to come back on another day for additional training. If this happens do not be alarmed or upset, some people take longer to master control of a two wheeled vehicle than others, but we all get there in the end. The most important thing to remember is its for your safety. Your instructor will be thinking of your safety if they ask you to come back for additional training.
Contrary to popular belief, a CBT is more of an evaluation than a test; your instructor will, throughout the day, observe your abilities and, if you complete the day to the required competency, you shall be awarded a pass certificate (professionally known as a DL196). A CBT certificate is valid for two years and once you have completed your full motorcycle examination, you will no longer have to renew your CBT. However, if you do not carry on your training in Banbury, you will be required to re-sit your CBT test after two years.If I book a CBT test in Banbury what would I be doing?
