No, Paul and Tracy have not had yet another grandchild (although No.10 is on the way!), but we have added a new bike to our fleet!
Meet the smallest member of the Inner Circle Training fleet, all ready for anyone aged 16 who wants to complete their Compulsory Basic Training (that’s CBT to you and me!) here in Stockport, Greater Manchester.
It is a CPI Formula R 50cc ‘moped’ and has a nippy 2-stroke engine delivering a top speed of, well, it’s a moped, so it’s restricted to 45kph (around 30mph). Our Chief Instructor rode it from our friends, High Barn Motorcycles in Chadderton all the way to our Training Centre in Stockport and had this to say: “It’s actually really nice to ride, quite quick off the mark all the way up to its maximum speed, but I don’t think I’ll be swapping my GS for one anytime soon!”.
If you are 16, or know someone who will shortly be 16, all they need is a provisional licence and they can be on the road on one of these beauties as soon as they’ve completed their CBT. And we know just the place to get them started with the finest instruction around!
