Reasons to Choose ART

Stuart Rayner, Chief Instructor

Stuart Rayner is literally a lifelong motorcyclist, he was given his first motorbike on the day he was born, a Triumph Twenty-One, 350 twin, some birth present. As a lifelong fan of bikes, he has had many adventures, including riding most of Europe, as well as Morocco and Thailand. He also takes part in all forms of bike sport including Enduro and short circuit racing, but his passion is for real Road Racing, which has seen him compete in events in Northern and Southern Ireland as well as the Isle of Man TT .

Stuart has great success in coaching all levels of students, enabling them to go on and complete their full licence. He has also been able to bring in some of his race techniques to help Advance Students.

James Ferguson, Instructor

James Ferguson has been riding motorbikes since he was 12 and passed his driving test whilst only 16. He has had the privilege of riding many different motorbikes including the Vincent Black Shadow, James 250 and the Greaves 350.

James worked in the corporate world for many years, before coming to his senses and got back in the saddle. He has enjoyed his time in that saddle ever since. His other passion is sub aqua diving; and yes, he's a qualified instructor in that as well. He has enjoyed diving in all parts of the world; favourite dive sites are still off the British coast, just wishing they were a bit warmer.
