"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."

"Suuuuuper informative and well laid out course, covering all the basics on what it takes to be a safe rider. Highly recommend before buying your first bike as this will be the perfect introduction and instill good habits before you have time to develop bad habits on your own. The class size isn't bad, capped at 12 riders which leaves plenty of room and time for personal instruction as well as riding exercises. My only complaint is the early hour that the class starts at, but that's necessary in order to get a full day of education in."

"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!"
