"I had an amazing experience. I had very little to no experience with riding and so I felt a little anxious about how quick I would learn everything and be ready for the evaluation. Halfway through the 1st day I had already began to feel more comfortable and confident with the bike I was riding. Day 1 and 2 had different instructors but they were all great and I learned a lot. I highly recommend for anyone who is looking to get their M1 to do this course!"

Here's why I highly recommend this training program to any aspiring rider..."

"Great class and teachers. Q, Crusoe, and Dylan really did a great job, especially with coaching some of the first time riders. I used to ride a dirt bike when I was younger and I found this class a great refresher for getting back on the road and I highly recommend this taking courses here vs Bay Area Motorcycle Training (which I've taken before)"

"I highly recommend this class to any and all riders! I'm a repeat customer (ARC Lvl. 1 & 2) and I am blown away by the curriculum, and even more importantly, the instructors. Ofir and Collen are both amazing! I have ridden motorcycles for over 11 years and have a ton of miles my belt. Even so, I have learned so much from each and every class. I plan to keep practicing and will be back soon!"

"As a person who rode for 18+ years then took a 35+ year break, the class was an excellent refresher. It helped me remember a lot of things (push steering for one) that I had long forgotten. The instructors were personable, friendly, professional and VERY knowledgeable. All in all, I feel it was an excellent investment in time and money. I highly recommend this class for ALL beginners and those of us that have had a long hiatus from riding."

"Highly recommended. Can’t say enough about this crew. These are the experts. Training courses of multiple skill levels available. Riding needs to be taken seriously and riders need to be prepared for the unexpected to make every ride as safe as possible. PTM has a great team packed with knowledge and experience that can help make every ride that such safer. Classes like this should be mandatory before taking to the roads, no matter where you are..."

"Zach and Mark are excellent instructors who were so patient and supportive throughout the course. I had never touched a motorcycle coming in, and was able to pick up the basics and start riding comfortably after the two-day beginner’s course. I would definitely consider coming back for more advanced classes, and would recommend this place and the instructors to anyone who wants to learn how to ride motorcycles."
