CALM COACHING FOR
CONFIDENT RIDING
Private coaching for licensed motorcycle riders who want to move beyond the basics and feel truly in control on the road.
Accredited instructor • 20+ years in road safety • Chair, Motorcycle Council NSW,
advocating for safer outcomes for riders across the state.
Calm Coaching. Confident Riding.
Are you ready to move beyond the fog & feel the freedom of riding?
If you have your licence but still feel unsure in traffic, you’re not alone.
Many riders pass their test but never feel truly confident in real-world conditions. Fast traffic, busy intersections, wet weather and unpredictable drivers can quickly feel overwhelming.
Smurph Motoskills was created to bridge that gap.
Private motorcycle coaching in Sydney & surrounding areas
Build real confidence in a 90-minute private 1:1 coaching session, or group 2:1 session with expert rider Cynthia Murphy — an accredited motorcycle instructor with over a decade of teaching experience and 20+ years in road safety and insurance.
Cynthia is also the Chair of the Motorcycle Council of NSW, advocating for safer outcomes for riders across the state.
Perfect for:
-
You have your licence, but real traffic still feels overwhelming. This is where you get focussed attention to ask the questions, learn the skills, and build the confidence to be a skilled rider.
-
If it’s been a while, we’ll rebuild your confidence step by step, in any road condition, without pressure and at a pace you’re comfortable at.
-
Move beyond just getting by. Develop real skill, awareness and confidence that carries into every ride.
-
If you’ve been involved in an accident and are scared to ‘get back on the horse’ (or bike, in this case), a 1:1 coaching session is the perfect way to build your confidence back and feel safe again.
Cynthia is an exceptional bike instructor. Patient, knowledgeable & encouraging.
