"Excellent motorcycle training course! The instructors explained everything clearly, from basic riding skills to important safety rules. They were patient, detailed, and made learning easy and comfortable for beginners. I learned a lot and feel much more confident riding now. Highly recommended."

"Excellent training, friendly and knowledgeable instructors."

"Dylan, Chris, and Q were all excellent instructors! I genuinely feel so much more safe and confident on a motorcycle now, and definitely recommend anyone thinking of riding (even if you're just riding Revel scooters around SF like I am!) to do the class, totally worth it."
- Allen Nikka, November 2022
"Great course even if you have zero riding experience like me. Instructor Dillon struck a great balance between enthusiastic coaching, professional approach and having a good time. Lots of time actually riding and learning to handle the bike. You can bring your own bike if you check with the office first. My partner (who already rides) took this class with me and thought it was a significantly better class than other CSMP courses he has attended in the area..."
- Elena Morozova, March 2024
"Wyatt, Q, and Dylan were firm and supportive trainers that for me was the right balance of leadership. The training was a blast with a fun group of beginner riders. The bikes were in top notch shape."
- James Misner, October 2024
