Quinn Rider Assessment

Any info out there on this?
I mean is it worth doing as a noob?I'll be finished my I.B.T this weekend and thats all the experience I have.
I dont think I'll be getting my own machine for at least 2 months so was thinking I might as well get one or two of these done in between?

Cheers

Whoever is doing the IBT with you should also be able to complete an assement, they have already seen your ability so should also be able to complete it, free of charge of course. its not costing them anything extra, lots of IBT folk would include this, ask them.

If it extra lessons you are after, go for it.

Thanks,
I plan on asking my instructor on Saturday.
I got the impression the "rider training" was just that.
not an assessment of your current skills.I think I'll get another lesson before I buy anyway.I'll have to see what the bank balance is like .

is there any money to be saved for first time learner permit cover with this assesment done ????

Yes, but it won't be a huge amount at first (considering the savings vs. the cost of doing the assesment).
To be honest, I'd be doing it anyway for the training course / additional skills, etc...

Not all instructors are approved for the rider assessments. This is why some cannot give them to you. However the ibt instructor is not obliged to offer it free of charge if he/she is approved as they can cost up to €250 to do on their own some places.
The reason we offer this is that we have seen your riding during ibt and it's only a case of filling out the paperwork at the end. Every little helps as a well known supermarket says.:D The only thing we can't give you is club card points.

A grade 4 should save you around 25% on your quote which is what most new riders would be issued with by us. The higher your grade the more you save.

I was in the exact same boat. My IBT instructor did the Quinn insurance assessment with me free of charge. I think it's well worth doing. Even if you do have to pay to do it separately, it'll pay for itself over the space of 2 or 3 years.

I think I saved somewhere around €160 on my insurance thanks to the assessment. Brought it from €930 down to about €770.

I just completed the IBT this week, afterwards i asked my instructor about these assessments
. He said he could issue me a grade 4 straight away but thought i was more than capable of achieving a grade two, this would require some more advanced skilll not covered by IBT. We would also do it on a larger cc bike, This would take about 3 hrs and he said he would do it for 100e, i initially thought this was a bit of a sales pitch but checking quotes online i,d save about 180 euro on first quote, so its looks like a win win situation to me

Grade 2= Adanced with a high level of hazard awareness and planning at all times . excellent machine control in all situations.
this is what is required. unless you had experience before and ibt was just to get onto bikes again this would not be achievable with so little riding under you belt.

Got 35% off insurance with an assessment frmo my ibt so definitly worth it! Pays for itself really after 2 or 3 years of insurance!
