Where Riding Becomes Mastery

Open Road was created to support riders who want more than just a licence — riders who value skill, awareness and responsibility.

We are a motorcycle-focused platform dedicated to structured training, rider awareness and community connection.

Our approach is built on experience, professionalism and a deep respect for motorcycling as both a discipline and a lifestyle.

Every aspect of Open Road is designed to support riders in making better decisions, building real skills and developing confidence that lasts beyond a single course or test.

Responsibility before speed

Progression over shortcuts

Awareness as a core riding skill

Community over ego

The Man Behind Open Road Motorcycling

Built by Experience. Driven by Awareness.

Open Road Motorcycling was founded by Dermot Coll —
a rider, mentor and trainer with over 30 years of experience.

But his journey didn’t begin on the road alone.

Dermot started his professional career as an engineer and project manager, working in environments where precision, communication and risk management were critical.

Over time, he brought that structured, analytical mindset into his personal passion: motorcycling.

Throughout decades of riding, training and participating in events, he recognised something essential —
true riding skill is not only about control. It’s about awareness.

His background in engineering and risk management shaped a more detailed and disciplined approach to riding.

Not rigid — but intentional.
Not theoretical — but practical.

Where Every Rider’s Journey Begins

Training at Open Road Motorcycling is structured, progressive and purpose-driven. Every rider starts somewhere, but where you start matters.

Our pathways are designed to guide riders through clear stages of development, ensuring that confidence grows alongside skill and awareness. Nothing rushed. Nothing improvised. Just steady, intentional progression.

IBT Training — The Starting Point

For many riders, IBT is the first real step into motorcycling.

At Open Road Motorcycling, it is not treated as a simple requirement — it is treated as the foundation.

The focus is on entering the road with the right mindset, realistic expectations and a solid understanding of what riding truly involves.

It’s not just about learning controls.

It’s about developing awareness, discipline and respect for the machine.

Riding Is a Mindset, Not Just a Skill

Awareness changes everything

You can learn to operate a motorcycle.
But learning to ride means understanding space, risk, timing and intention.
At Open Road, awareness is treated as a core skill — not an optional extra.
It’s what keeps riding enjoyable, progressive and sustainable over time.
This mindset is woven into everything we do:
training, guidance, content and community.
