Love Motorcycle Training

28/10/2026

Trevor is LoveMoto's Chief Instructor, the man who trains every instructor on our team. He's a former Police Advanced Motorcycle Officer, an advanced riding examiner and a commercial pilot instructor, and he's been riding since 1992. So we gave him the LoveMoto Police: mirrored aviators, gold-fringed epaulettes, a police bike with a forest of aerials, and a squad who try very hard to keep up.

Ride with the Sarge is our new music video, an 80s cop-show theme with a wailing sax. Turn the sound up.

The epaulettes are optional. The coaching is the real thing: look up, plan ahead, nice and smooth through the bend, and you'll be grinning at the end.

Course dates and the lyrics are in the first comment.

𝙇𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙈𝙤𝙩𝙤 𝙇𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙨 𝙄𝙣𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙘𝙖𝙧𝙜𝙞𝙡𝙡! 🏍️

Three riders trained and TWO restricted licence passes today – but one deserves a special shoutout because this doesn't happen often.

Clayton had 𝒏𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓 ridden a motorcycle until last Sunday when he joined our Rider Course in Alexandra. He smashed it, came back two hours later, and passed his basic handling skills test first time.

Not content with that, he attended our Invercargill Bronze course and decided to have a crack at the restricted assessment soon after – just FOUR DAYS after first sitting on a bike. He passed. And it was a good one too! 👏

How did he do it? Clayton is proof of what happens when motivation meets good decision-making. All his riding has been with a LoveMoto instructor from day one – no chance to pick up bad habits. He came in keen to learn and chose a tried and trusted training provider.

LoveMoto is Invercargill's ACC Ride Forever provider. There's a reason we're leading the way in motorcycle training across New Zealand. No shortcuts. No unnecessary trimmings. Just industry-leading training, subsidised costs, and amazing results.
Congratulations Clayton! 🎉
