"The Pacific Motorcycle Training held by Issac and James was an excellent experience. Both instructors took care in providing specific and clear coaching advice. Doing the online course provided a great deal of preparation for the in person events. The only somewhat feedback I could give was around logistics. The pin included in the email routed me to the spartan race parking area just over the hill. I recommend paying more attention to the turn by turn directions included in the email instead of relying on the pin drop in the email..."

"The trainers were absolutely amazing. They gave reassurance to everyone to make sure they were comfortable on their bike. Erin and Wyatt work together flawlessly. Dave was a great trainer as well but it seems he has his own style of training versus the other instructors. I would definitely recommend this course. It was a fun class to take. Hope everyone stays safe riding ✌🏼"

"Fantastic. Option of classroom study online before the training so the field days are all riding. Zach was a great instructor. Use them for your license training!"

"Fantastic class. I thought I knew about riding a motorcycle. I learned so much more. I highly recommend taking this class. The instructor takes his time with each student to ensure you understand. Well worth the money."

"Highly recommended! I haven’t been riding in 10 years so this beginner class was perfect! Instructors are very experienced and knowledgeable. I learned so much about what I didn’t know."

"Instructors were very patient and informative. They are very understanding of riders who have never been on a bike and make time to take you aside and explain how to adjust your riding style to improve your skills to have a better and safer riding experience! Thank you so much guys and special thanks to Stephanie!"
