"I had an amazing time in early October here at Motorcycle Training Services Inc. Jon and his mate were outstanding! They were very knowledgeable, respectful, and fun. I cannot recommend this company highly enough, and I can't wait to come back to take the advanced training classes. Thank you!"

"Got the pleasure of taking the beginner course and it was a blast! The instructors are passionate and just as excited to have you there as you are. If you go there to learn and have fun, you will leave a confident rider, certificate in hand. Additionally, don't let the written course material go to waste. It'll help you glide through DMV written test. Stay attentive and the course pays for itself and is definitely worth it. I'll be back for the Intermediate and Advance courses in the future for sure!"

"I had such a great experience with Learn to Ride VC! All the instructors were very knowledgeable, answered every question patiently, and made sure we all felt confident on the bike. This was my first time riding, and I learned so much while also really enjoying the process. I would highly recommend this class!"

"My son and I took this class together. The overall experience was EXCELLENT! Zoom class was taught by Tiffany who was an awesome speaker who made it easy to listen and learn! Then there was a man, I forgot his name, but he was "Cool,Cool" a phrase he often said too. Then on the range in Wrightwood, our instructors, Zig & Dutch were down to earth and very professional. I unfortunately didn't complete the class that day, but my son passed with a 'Zero'! He got his certificate just a few days later in the mail, went to DMV and was licensed within a week! I completed the course a couple of weeks later and the range instructors were Zig and Brayden..."
