"Took the beginner msc here and would definately recommend to anyone looking to get into motorcycling! I initially didn’t pass the skills test during my original class, but i was able to ride/practice the following week, retake my skills test and passed with flying colors! Larry was my instructor for both sessions and he was fun, funny and a great teacher!! I had Jose as an instructor for my 2nd class and he was really great at explaining the friction zone to me (which is what i struggled with the first go around) and how it differed from driving a car with manual transmission..."

"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 recently completed a beginner motorcycle class with Val and Alex, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Both instructors were incredibly knowledgeable and did an excellent job explaining riding concepts, techniques, and safety fundamentals in a way that was easy to understand. What really stood out was their ability to provide constructive, individualized feedback throughout the course. Rather than simply pointing out mistakes, they offered practical tips and clear guidance on how to improve specific riding skills, which helped build both confidence and competence on the bike..."

"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..."
