Probike Motorcycle Training Staff
DSA & ROSPA Approved Instructors
Bill
Company director, he is a fully qualified DSA approved instructor, brought up in Chester he now lives in Connah's Quay, he holds a Rospa advanced riding certificate Gold award and the coveted Rospa Diploma in advanced riding instruction. Bill enjoys track days, and can still get his knee down with the best of them, just takes a few days to recover since his hip replacement (joke!!!). He has been riding for many years, and has only been hospitalised for a small percentage of that time. Ask him about his party piece! He currently owns an MV Augusta 1000 and a RSV Factory R; he really does like his toys!!
Stewie
Company director, grew up locally in the village of Northop and now lives in Mold, he holds the Rospa Gold award in advanced riding, and is a fully qualified DSA instructor. A member of the new DSA approved Register of Post Test Motorcycle Trainers (RPMT); he is one of the few instructors in the area who can deliver training under the new Enhanced Rider Scheme. He too enjoys track days, but insists that the gravel at Redgates, Donington Park is magnetized! Strangely so is the Armco at the Nurburgring!! Cars are attracted to his rear end, so there could be something in the magnetic thing? He currently owns a Suzuki GSXR 1000.
Steve
Steve was born in Mancot, grew up in Buckley and now lives in Shotton, Deeside. He is a fully qualified DSA instructor, and our master of all trades. An ex plod, fitness instructor, engineer, yes a man of many talents plus he's a great little mover on the dance floor. Steve comes from a bike riding and racing family and has been riding for donkey's years, (he lies about his age too). Favourite song, I fought the law, and the law won (not!). He rides a Husqvarna supermoto, and is a huge fan of most kinds of racing especially Moto GP and supermoto. He wore a yellow Rossi t-shirt and hat at Donington Moto GP, which was great because the flies loved the colour, and it kept them off us!! Fancies
himself as a part time catalogue model, a bit of a poser.
Yvonne
Yvonne looks after the running of the offices. Brought up in Chester and now lives in Ellesmere Port, she came to do her lessons and test with us, and stayed! She currently owns a Kawasaki Z750. Nicknamed P45 or Dory (see finding Nemo), she has been called 'scathing' but believes if you give it you should be prepared to take it! She is the mistress of the ace delivery - the quip of no return. She is a brunette (albeit chemically assisted), with very blonde moments, and is currently in the process of training to be an instructor so look out boys!!
Jason
Jason was born in Little Sutton on the Wirral and now lives in Mynydd Isa near Mold. In the early part of 2007 Jason approached us with a view to us training him as a motorcycle instructor. The company he worked for was in trouble and needed to make some of the work force redundant, as part of the redundancy package the government were offering financial help to pay for vocational retraining. Jason decided to leave and begin his training and has been working with us four days a week ever since, he is now fully qualified DSA instructor. A demon with the camera, if he has it with him, Beware!! The company milkman whose idea of fun is flying kites on the horseshoe pass wearing speedos, it was
sunny honest!! Currently runs a RSV Mille R.

He mad on bikes and has a new found love of track days, he’s got a dog called Rossi and is an avid supporter of Rangers FC. He’s had a lot of losses in his life primarily hair, teeth and a finger.
