"I highly recommend this motorcycle safety course for anyone who needs a refresher or anyone who is new to riding. I never rode a motorcycle a day in my life until I took this course and I’m so thankful for the amazing instructors I had that helped me during my class and still use what they taught me in my riding today. Definitely coming back and taking their intermediate riding course to keep developing my skills!"
