Over 30 years on the road. A lifetime shaping how riders think, ride and grow.
Open Road Motorcycle 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.
You can learn to operate a motorcycle.
But learning to ride means understanding space, timing, risk and intention.
At Open Road Motorcycle, awareness is treated as a core skill — not an optional extra.
It’s what keeps riding enjoyable, progressive and sustainable.
Not rigid — but intentional.
Not theoretical — but practical.
Located in the heart of Limerick, Open Road Motorcycle is more than a training ground.
It’s a purpose-built environment designed for progression, focus and community.
Throughout decades of riding, training and
participating in events, one truth became clear.
True riding skill is not only about control.
Open Road Motorcycle exists to help riders:
