At Motorcycle Live 2012, the motorcycle industry’s Get On campaign will once again be offering FREE two-wheel taster sessions to novice and born-again bikers. For visitors with no experience at all – or even those who have spent some time away and want to get back into biking – the Get On arena should be the first port of call.

Motorcycle Live

Occupying a secure and private area in hall 4, Get On will be offering riders over the age of 16 the chance to take part in a 20-minute taster session with a qualified instructor. Visitors can choose from a range of scooters and motorcycles provided by supporting manufacturers and all safety equipment will be provided. It’s the best way to discover that life really is better on two wheels, but don’t take our word for it, here’s what visitors to the 2011 show had to say…
