Steve Boardman
Senior Instructor / Advanced Instructor
Hi I’m Steve, the driving (sic) force behind Riding In Action. I’ve been riding a bike since I was 17 and I’ve been a motorcycle instructor since 2000.
I’m a member of the Institute of Advanced Motorcyclists, a RoSPA Gold and Diploma rider and in 2007 I became an examiner for the Driving Instructor Association’s DIAmond advanced test. When I do have a spare day I enjoy off road riding or fiddling with my 1994 mini.
