Chris Mellor

Pro - Coach

IAM RoadSmart Masters | National Observer

Christopher has over 30 years of riding experience, developed through extensive commuting, long-distance touring across the UK and Europe, advanced road riding, and regular track training. This breadth of experience gives him a strong understanding of how riders develop confidence, skill, and enjoyment on the road.

His riding combines the real-world demands of road riding with the precision and machine control developed on track. Christopher continues to develop his own riding through training with organisations such as BMW Rider Training, James Whittam, HRT Rider Training at Cadwell Park, and Motorrad Training at the Nürburgring, which he attended for a number of years.

This blend of roadcraft and track-based skills shapes his coaching approach. Christopher helps riders understand how smoother control, better observation, confident cornering, and effective braking come together to create safer, more enjoyable riding.

Christopher enjoys working with riders of all levels of experience, helping them build confidence, refine their skills, and discover how rewarding continual improvement in motorcycling can be.

He is delighted to be part of the Motorcycle Buddies coaching team, supporting riders to get the very best from their riding.
