Victor is a very knowledgeable and experienced rider, able to quickly identify areas needing improvement and then offer very helpful advice. Very happy to recommend.

Reece Ley

Fantastic instruction with a clear, methodical approach to training and keeping you upright. I had several years of off-road experience and all the bad habits that need to be undone for road.

Victor is patient and acute at pinpointing your strengths and weaknesses and making you a better rider. Bikes provided are great and all your gear is provided ( even a buff for long hair which I hadn’t considered) the rides are fun yet educational and passed first time after a few lessons.

Highly recommend!

So i phoned Vic at bikesafe the night before i booked my RE assessment at Joondalup. Vic managed to fit me in to his schedule, turned up to my place to begin lessons and i got a good solid 3 hours of his time. Vic is a great trainer, he made me feel comfortable and killed those butterflies for me before my test. He gave me some great tips and general advice, which completely changed my idea of how to ride and do it safely. 3 hours with vic working on my weaknesses and i passed my test with flying colours. Cheers mate, you’re a legend.

A man of few words, but words that count! Great bikes, great instructor! I had broken my leg on previous lessons ( basic bike, and an accident) but 3 months post, Victor gave me the confidence to keep going. Instructed to my needs and was used many techniques as to worked for me as an individual. I passed first time, despite choking on a mint, during the ” quick stop” on my test lol! And I passed safely not just a pass to get you on the road!
Awesome work Victor!

Whilst he certainly doesn’t mess around, Victor is an assertive and humourous instructor who is easy to learn from and provides excellent critical feedback. He makes you unlearn the bad ways of doing things and makes it so that you use proper technique. He can be easy to listen to even when the exercises become difficult. Passed first try as well.
