"Fantastic beginner motorcycle course. I gained a wealth of crucial knowledge and feel far more confident to get out on the road on a motorcycle. All of the instructors were incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and friendly. Will definitely be back for the intermediate course."

"The instructors, Q, Steve, and Evie were very knowledgeable. They explained things well and kept everything on time. They were able to identify when I needed special instructions and pulled me out to coach me on proper techniques and gave me specific information that helped me improve."

"Professional staff provided thorough and precise training on how to handle and safely ride a motorcycle. From learning the controls, gears, and brakes to negotiating various driving scenarios. Although I have experience with motorcycles, it’s been several years since I last rode and this course was well worth the time. The focus on safety and awareness was much appreciated."

"Had a fantastic time! I went in knowing how to ride and wasn’t planning on learning as much as I did. They made me realize I truly had no idea what I was doing! They taught me so much and gave me advice every-time we did an exercise. I didn’t feel looked over. Olivia was my instructor for both days and I absolutely loved her! She was very patient with all of us and gave amazing feedback. I will be coming back for another class in the future."

"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..."
