Saturday 22nd at the Ace !!
Nearly 2 years since I went, thoroughly worthwhile day.
Who did you book this with?
I did mine a couple of years back with Hampshire Police but since moving to London it’d be good to do it with the Met to learn some extra stuff about dealing with London traffic effectively, although currently my most effective way is WOT!! lol
Just google bikesafe - all the forces that operate it use a central website and link off there. City and Met host it together. They use the Ace and one of theirMet Sports and Social clubs in Hayes (Kent) as locations.

Bikesafe are one of our partners. It’s a brilliant service they offer! We’ve all done it and rate it very highly.
I’ll see you there then, I’m booked in on the same day ![]()
EDIT:
Oh I’m George, welcome to the forums, I’ll be on a yellow hornet ![]()
EDIT2: Doh, you’ve been here longer than me ![]()
As your bike is restricted, two questions
-
Do you have to show any doc when you turn up, did you get your certificate sorted ?
-
As the bike is restricted what group have they put you in ? Upto a 250cc or standard ?
Reminds me though i must get booked on one ![]()
Thanks for the info guys! ![]()
No I didn’t get the cert. sorted - I looked at the insurance docs and it just says something about riding a bike you’re entitled to ride (or words to that effect), no mention of a certificate so as far as I’m concerned I’m not doing anything wrong.
There was no mention of the certificate in the documents to bring along, you just need licence, insurance certificate and MOT certificate.
I didn’t realise there were different groups, it would make sense to put me in the 500 group though as it’s just the top end revs that are cut off when a bike’s restriced.
Get yourself booked up for the 22nd ![]()
LOL thanks for the welcome anyway George, I will be on a blue/black/silver GS500 with a londonbikers.com sticker along the top of my visor ![]()

Just had a guy from Bikesafe on the phone, apologising as the 22nd is booked up and there isn’t actually a place for me, will have to see if I can find an alternative date, loads of birthdays and stuff coming up :unsure:
