Traffic school to pass the test and get a license........... track school.
Little or nothing in between - that's where I come in.
Small groups, 4-6 riders, four two-hour sessions in one/two weeks, video assisted, more or less a live version of Lee Parks' book.
It needs a name... Never mind the language barrier, everyone understands and uses English here or I'll work out a translation. I think it should sound ambitious, but not scare noobs off.
Got an idea? [thumbsup]
Being a ex Army officer i would call it (and its in Swedish) Trafikkompaniet ;D
Stopintime will understand as a Scandinavian ;)
how about
"NO VAT RIDING SCHOOL" and underneath the company name (cash only)
[thumbsup]

We call it RILUM, which would be ~ SIMPNoT straight in my pocket no tax.
Actually, my small company is offering training and massage services which are health related = no VAT. Cheaper for the customer or more for me [roll]

That's not bad, but I think it sounds more like a traffic school. I need more "vroom".

Considering it.....
It only takes a few brain storming comments, good or bad isn't important, just need some help to get the brain cells buzzing.
Stop, start, brake, turn, lean, flow, zone, control, line, pace, mind .......

Got your name on, tells people what you teach...
What else??? Beer? Girls? Bacon? Adriana Tuchyna as hostess? Danika Patrick as corner worker? Katherine Legge as flag girl?
Valentino Rossi as the ??? Casey Stoner as the ??? Dani Pedrosa as the 'How not to fall' guy?
Mika Kalio as the "I'll drop you of your bike jumping from mine", guy
BBQ? Chilli?

That's only partly tongue-in-cheek, we have a track school around here called Zoom Zoom.

Why dont you just drop the name and put a spinning hypno wheel so everytime someone walks by, they either
a) Give you money if they're a dude
or
b) Flash their boobs if they have a nice rack.

I would say; Black Swan Riding Clinic,
"What we call here a Black Swan (and capitalize it) is an event with the following three attributes. First, it is an outlier, as it lies outside the realm of regular expectations, because nothing in the past can convincingly point to its possibility. Second, it carries an extreme impact. Third, in spite of its outlier status, human nature makes us concoct explanations for its occurrence after the fact, making it explainable and predictable. I stop and summarize the triplet: rarity, extreme impact, and retrospective (though not prospective) predictability. A small number of Black Swans explain almost everything in our world, from the success of ideas and religions, to the dynamics of historical events, to elements of our own personal lives."
-Nassim Nicholas Taleb
It would be easy to come up with a sweet logo (thinking similar to rebel alliance) , its short and rememberable, and it will not intimidate novice riders... So when do you want me to start on the marketing campaign? ;D
Black Swan Riding Clinis = BS Riding Clinic?

Use of the term, a black swan (not capitalized), is derived from the seventeenth century European presumption that 'all swans must be white', because all historical records of swans reported that they had white feathers. In that context, a black swan was something that was impossible, and could not exist. After the discovery of black swans in Western Australia [1] during the eighteenth century, the term metamorphosed to connote that a perceived impossibility, later may be found to exist. Taleb notes that, writing in the nineteenth century, John Stuart Mill used the black swan logical fallacy, as a new term to identify falsification.
It's a reality, launched today and will follow up with a small marketing campaign during the next weeks.
The website was affordable - doesn't look too advanced, which is fine because I don't want to scare off the unexperienced riders.

since I can't read it, I'd assume you teach people how to ride and or race?
I'd be afraid that any names we give you in english will end up translating into porn related things or something else terrible
