"This class teaches the basics to safe motorcycle riding like clutch/throttle control, counter steering, emergency stopping, and more. Passing the class gets you a waiver for the DMV practical test, which is a huge help. This class is also a great way to dip your toes into the world of motorcycles without spending a ton of money. They even provide the motorcycles and helmets! If it turns out you don't like riding or are not capable of it, at least you know you had professional instruction, on someone else's bike, and you've only spent a small amount of money."

"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!"

"Taking the beginner course at Learn to Ride VC has been one of the best investments I have ever made! Highly knowledgeable and experienced instructors Jose and Bob, welcoming and comfortable class room, extensive lineup of motorcycles at the range and super convenient weekend schedule. Highly recommend the course!"

"My experience at learn to ride VC was a life changing one. The instructors were humorous but ultimately dedicated to teaching life saving skills. I took the two day weekend course. I arrived at 7 am and was greeted with warm smiles and coffee. The instructors took care of house cleaning business and then proceeded to start making jokes and teaching us invaluable knowledge about riding. The presentations were clear, succinct, and provided a strong foundation for learning how to ride motorcycles. On the range, the instructors provided clear and meaningful instructions. I felt that I was being guided and taught well. The entire course allowed for people with no experience on a bike to get the bike rolling and learn techniques that will allow them to ride in the future. I will be taking intermediate/advanced courses from this company asap."
