David Palmer – Proprietor, Instructor’s license 5555
David has been instructing motorcycle riders since 2001.
David has been riding since he got his motorcycle license when he was 16 in Sydney (more than 35 years ago!). He rode the 70 kilometres to and from school each day. David has ridden in places as diverse as New Delhi, Bangkok, Germany and London and has travelled extensively by motorcycle in Australia.
Thanks for your patience, professionalism and sense of humour!

Prior to working with Alert David gained considerable adult teaching experience through his position as a lecturer and as Head of the Production and Design Department of The Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts (WAAPA).
David started teaching for Alert whilst he studied Web Development at TAFE. When the opportunity arose at the conclusion of his studies to purchase Alert from its founders he did not hesitate.
He has a lifelong love of riding and a deep commitment to making motorcycling as safe as it is enjoyable.
