Gift Card Details
Getting your motorbike license is an exciting step towards the freedom of the open road. But before you can rev your engine and hit the tarmac, you need to tackle the Compulsory Basic Training (CBT) course. Here on the Isle of Man, mastering CBT is not just about ticking boxes; it’s about building the skills and confidence you need to ride safely and confidently. This CBT gift card is the perfect gift for someone wanting to start the journey. Riding a motorcycle or scooter has huge advantages, cheaper insurance, easy to park around the towns, disc zones don’t apply, cheaper to run and sometimes quicker when the roads are busier. Our gift cards can be collected from IOM Motorcycles, delivered to your home address or posted, always nicely presented.
