"This class was well worth the money. The classroom instructions were applicable and but not overly tedious. The range was a bit remedial in the beginning, but quickly ramped up and was actually quite fun and educational. The instructors, Tim, Chris and Lisa were great. The content was well planned out and rehearsed and there was no wasted time. Well done!"

― Kyle Prusso

"The course is very informational and fun. I've riden for many years and there were still information from the class and road course I did not know about. So it was a very good learning experience. Ken Yhl is a very good instructor during the riding course and very helpful. Personal experience, I would recommend everyone to the course."

"I had not ridden a motorcycle in 25 years. The course helped me regain the feel of riding and increased my confidence. The instructors were great and very patient with those in the class that had never been on a motorcycle. The techniques taught were very useful for how to corner and brake. Totally worth the money!"
