"Amazing ! I got more than what I expected. Full of fun and excellent training. The best in Bay area. Chris and Issac are excellent."

― Krishnaraj Venkatesan

"They did a great job. Cool instructors and students. The only thing they can improve is their lot to make it more realistic to everyday riding conditions. But they did a great job with what they have and everything is practical, useful and safety oriented. Thank you guys"

― D Jones

"Great staff and experience. Was very comfortable and enjoyed the confidence, even when the rain started to fall. Had fun, learned a lot and enjoyed the knowledge that was shared."

― Paul Rousseau

"The instructors gave honest feedback in the moment. Giving me the best opportunity to really learn the skills needed for riding. I had a wonderful experience and plan on returning for the next two courses!"

― Jolene Jensen

"Fantastic course. Both Isaac and Craig were great instructors, very lively and engaging. Overall, the course was very informative, and the practical portion of the course left me with a much greater understanding of how to be a better, safer rider."

― Boris Boukhonine

"Instructors (Chris and Sheila) were awesome, knowledgeable but also used humor and personal stories to help us remember things better. Learning how to ride on the range was much more intense than I expected - went from learning what the clutch and throttle is on the bike to practicing weaving around cones, taking a quick turn, upshifting and then swerving past an â€˜obstacleâ€™ in the road. Great class overall!"

― Zohaib Khan

"The instructors Isaac and Chris were awesome. I would recommend taking the motorcycle course with them for absolute beginners or for riders with prior experience. I appreciate the way the whole course has been put together. Be it classroom sessions or the on the range. I have learnt a lot from these fantastic people over two days. Thank you guys!"
