Lady biker NEW

[Sweaty]

My blood was boiling as I was reading what happened to Di & the effect this could have on her getting her license.
I'm glad you have both sent complaints in & I would do what ever You can to let people know about this Pigs actions, so other females don't have to go through the same abuse & hope it ruins his business.
Hope she finds a good place & passes with flying colours.

  report them to the Driving Standards Agency who provides them with a license

The ladies should have run the bikes into and over him a few times.

I honestly thought we had moved on from this kind of attitude in the 21st century, but clearly not.

I hope you get a refund and an apology. And if the person who owns the training centre doesn't fire that guy, there is something wrong with them.

I'm seething.

Evening gentlemen this is Di
Thank you very much for your support we have decided to take this further and have contacted the police. If he had done this to a 17 year old girl they probably would have been put off riding a bike for life, none of us would like to think of our daughters being treated in this manner, I'm no burn the bra women's lib sort of person but that's not how you treat people especially when you are paying for their services to train you.

So I have rebooked my CBT with another riding school who knows what has happened and is appalled and said report them.

These people give bikers a bad rep and I for one know what a great bunch of folks you all are its just the few that spoil it.

So onwards and upwards and it's still a case of watch this space

Di

Thank you all for the support you have shown it is very much appreciated

Glad to hear you are taking it further Di & keep us updated. Really hope this Pig gets what's coming to him.
Sounds like you have found the right school now & hope it's a good experience with them.

BTW Col, it's 4.20am down here :(

Ok chaps you saw what I had to say the next post is Diane's view of what happened on Saturday and Sunday
Diane and I are great full for your support but I feel this company should not be in business

Dear Chris

Just to let you know the details of the training that was provided by your company.

My friend and I Tracy were so looking forward to learning to ride a motorbike, we were nervous but excited at the same time.

On Saturday 14th April my husband and I visited CMC where we purchased a bike so that once I had passed my CBT I could continue learning, the salesman commented that Jay had said he was training 2 women on Sunday and wondered what he had done to deserve this!

My husband drove Tracy and I to the training centre on Sunday 15th April where we arrived about 8:15. Jay arrived shortly after and asked my husband if he would go to tesco to get him some cigarettes as he would need them with having 3 women to train.

He started to talk about how many novices make the mistake of holding the throttle too tight at which I replied yes you have to hold it like you are holding a budgie.  He replied you wouldn't hold your husbands cock that hard so you are hurting him, and if you do grip the throttle really hard you could rupture the muscle in your forearm and if you did would your husband wipe your arse for you.

When the third lady arrived he took our driving licences off us and took us to read number plates, Tracy read hers then kirsty attempted to read hers but could not distinguish if the last two letters of the registration  were OD or DD, jay simulated breasts with his hands to help her identify the letters.

My husband then left and we went into the classroom to start the training.
Jay started by telling us he got paid whether we passed/ failed or didn't complete the course and Chris wasn't bothered as he had got his money off us.
He then commented that if we didn't like the way he trained we could fuck off, this was the way he did it.

As we had paid for the training I just thought this is inappropriate but still wanted to learn to ride a motorbike.

At just before ten o clock Jay had to go and start the music off at CMC for the event that was happening there, he asked us to get him a coffee and meet him on the training area behind.

He got 3 bikes out of the lock up and assigned them to us. He commented that one of them wasn't taxed so only 2 could go on the road.

I am a teacher and his methods of showing us how to ride leave a lot to be desired, his manner was sexist and we could tell early on in the day no matter what he would not be taking us out, but given the amount of instruction that we had I would not have felt ready to go out.

As the event at CMC was getting busier bikes were coming around the back to park a lot of the bikers knew Jay and shouted hello to him, at one point he shouted over to someone what have I done to deserve getting 3 split arses to train, I find this highly offensive and derogatory. So by this time I'm starting to regret my choice of riding school but as I was with a friend thought lets just forget it and get this done.

He started to tell us a story about Vera and her cataracts and leaving the right leg down as we were stood waiting both our feet were on the ground he came behind Tracy and myself and kicked our right legs from behind us. This took us by surprise and we had to catch ourselves to stop us falling

As novices some demonstration of what he required us to do would have been beneficial. He spent more time smoking cigarettes and shouting over to other bikers than actual instruction, another comment he shouted over to a biker was I got 3 women over here to try to train two have PMT and the others OCD.

We broke for lunch and we reflected that not once was any praise given to any of us, as a teacher praise increases confidence levels and so improves performance. So it's a win win situation.

After lunch we returned Jay was talking to his wife and another couple, he said to his wife that he would be packed up by about 3:30 as there was no fucker around the front due to a brief spell of rain. He commented to his friend 3 women to train go and get me a fucking rope now, his wife did not look impressed with this. They left and we continued the so called training again Jay said if we didn't like the way he trained we could fuck off.

After doing a bit ,more training Jay started going off that men were apes and hold their arms in a particular way out from the side of their bodies whereas women hold their arms by their sides and this is for being mothers and having babies again another sexist comment which had no relevance.
This in my opinion was just another way of saying we were not fit to ride bikes.

Jay then got out the scooters for myself and Tracy to go around on, at this point my husband could see how upset by all this I was and switched the Bluetooth on on my helmet this was only to talk to me to calm me down as I was so upset. The day of derogatory and sexist comments were taking their toll and could feel that I was letting it severely get to me.

It started to rain again and Jay called it a day he asked us to come back later that week, Tracy and I said we could come back Tuesday and Wednesday after work. He said he was doing it as a favour and that he didn't put himself out for anyone.

He turned to kirsty and said for her to rearrange a day for her to come back for some more training as whoever had trained her before was a wanker and did not train her properly.

I don't use bad language but have written it down here to show exactly what he said.

On getting home I was angry that he had spoken to us in this manner how dare he. I am a 51 year old woman and will not be bullied by anyone especially some one like this..

If you think that this is acceptable for ways to train people then I would like you to justify this.

I was supposed to be picking my new bike up tomorrow but will now have to delay this.

I won't be coming back after work on Tuesday or Wednesday as I wait for your response in this manner. As far as I am concerned I will be looking for another riding school to complete  my CBT with and would expect a full refund.

[Sweaty]

Anyone wanna buy a new watch down there lol

It's hard to tell the time when your upside down 

[seth]

How on earth is this guy still working as an instructor
He should never be let near a trainee ever again.
I do hope you ladies both get the proper training and get on the road asap and enjoy a full biking life .
Up here there was an driving test examiner that only passed 1 in 5 of the ladies who took the bike test once it became knowledge that this was happening it was taken to the management he was retired .
Women don't want and shouldn't get special treatment but should get the same fair shot as men .
If nothing happens from the company who run this school get M.A.G. or other riding groups involved as this kind of behaviour is from many years ago in the past and has no place in today's world .
There are fewer and fewer biker these days so the more people who can be encouraged on to bike the better .

Good luck to you hopefully you get a good result

Seth
