"Well first of all you pay but you get great riding habits taught to you . Things I never taught myself and that is totally worth it they're there to teach you proper technique ."

"Our two days of training with our instructor Q was great. The helmet that they loaned me for me alright and was in great condition. The motorcycles area smaller and off brand for the most part. Some throttles and clutches were really old to the point where some of us had to kick the shifter so much it just broke off. Overall the sign up process was also straightforward. I called in to make sure i got everything right, they called me back and patiently explained everything..."

"The instructors were great. The Small class was perfect. I would take this class again and I will highly recommend others to take these courses."

"5 stars for the program! I ve learned a lot just by attending this short 2 day course. Both Chris and Isaac are great instructors. They bring lots of real life experience and humor when they teach. They make the classes fun both inside the class room and on the range. Highly recommend them!!"

"The instructors, Wyatt and Steve were great! Before this class, I had not even sat on a motorcycle for more than 10 seconds (maybe). Their approach to teaching and coaching was very warm and welcoming and was exactly what a beginner needs to understand the basics, risks, safety, and what happens or doesn’t happen when performing riding techniques. I have already recommended this class to friends and family and hope they also get the top tier teachings I experienced."

"Really cool staff, very knowledgeable (Maya, Tommy, George and Chris are all excellent instructors! ) Had a good time and learned a lot plus gained confidence in my riding. Will be signing up for that track day soon on my new Mt 09 :)"
