About us

Exceptional Rider Training is a motorcycle training school built on experience, passion, and family values.

The business was founded in May 2007 by Ronn Tapp and run as a family operation alongside Lizzie Tapp. Over the years, they helped thousands of riders gain confidence, skills, and independence on two wheels, creating a welcoming and supportive training environment that became well known locally.

In 2025, the business entered a new chapter when Graham and Jamie took over, having already spent several years working as instructors within the school. Their goal is to continue the standards and friendly approach that riders have come to expect, while building on the strong foundations laid before them.

 

Although Ronn is sadly no longer with us, his legacy continues through the business and the riders he helped train. Lizzie remains an essential part of the team, managing bookings and enquiries and helping preserve the family atmosphere that has always defined Exceptional Rider Training.

We are based in Harpenden, operating from The Two Wheel Centre, where Nick and Sophie have warmly welcomed us into their shop. This partnership allows us to continue helping new riders take their first steps onto the road while supporting the local riding community.

Whether you are completely new to motorcycling or progressing through your licence, our aim remains simple:

professional training, delivered in a friendly, supportive environment, helping riders develop skills for life on the road.
