"Very knowledgeable and clearly dedicated staff. Q, Wyatt, and Tony were energetic, understanding, and had our safety and learning as their highest priority. As a somewhat experienced rider, I found this course very informative and useful. If you are a new rider, this course is indispensable. Take the course."

"I had ridden motorcycle back in India and was getting back into it again here in the US. The training was very educating and the staff was super friendly. They had helmets and even gloves so that helped too. The bikes were very good and didn't pose any issues. The instructors, Anthony, Erin, and Tony were very nice and helped us immensely during the two day program. I loved the experience and would love to take intermediate lessons some time in future."

"Great experience. Instructors were very patient, thorough, and professional. Would highly recommend for anyone who’s never taken a class whether they are a complete novice or an experienced rider they can benefit from a formal overview of the fundamentals of riding."

"Instructors were fantastic, and you could really tell they put their heart into everything. The equipment they provided was also clean and the bikes on selection were a large variety allowing the rider to tailor what kind of bike they might want to ride when it’s all said and done. Highly recommended this spot!"
