A few words about PARAGON

PARAGON has been carrying out Motorcycle Training in the Solent areas for the last 15 years, and has become a well known and respected Approved Training Body (ATB) within the local Motorcycling community, and as a DSA approved Instructor, I have 16 years experience to pass on to my future customers!. I train in the Gosport, Fareham and Portsmouth Areas, our CBT's being done in Fareham & Gosport, and DSA Tests being done in the new Multi purpose Test Centre at Lee on Solent.

Owner and Chief Instructor - Dave Baglee - started PARAGON Rider Training after completing a 22 Year career with the Royal Navy. Leaving the Navy as a Chief Petty Officer, Dave decided to combine his teaching skills learnt as a weapons Instructor, with his hobby of motorcycling, and PARAGON was born! Dave is now a holder of the prestigious RoSPA Gold Advanced Certificate, the highest Civilian advanced qualification and has also qualified as a RoSPA Diploma Advanced Instructor, both qualifications having been requalified in 2010.

When not instructing, Dave can be found hurtling around Europe on his favourite bikes, a 1997 Honda CBR1100XX Super Blackbird, or a 2007 Honda Pan European ST 1300. Dave recently completed a Saddlesore ride ... - 1000 miles in less than 24hours to raise funds for the Haemochromatosis society, The journey saw Dave and 25 other riders including a lot of Instructors and ex Pupils, ride from Gosport to Exeter to Glasgow to Edinburgh to Berwick on Tweed to Newcastle to Northampton, Oxford, Newbury and finally back to Gosport!!

PARAGON has now developed into a well-known and respected part of the motorcycling community and has trained hundreds of safe motorcyclists, who are now enjoying their newfound skills. Now you have the opportunity to join them.
