"To keep it straight and to the point, study what you’re given and you’ll pass easy. I had the best instructors and I’m glad I got to learn and experience more about the motorcyclist world. To mention, I prefer the 2 day because it was informative and quick. Thank you Arden, Marco, and Grant for being to the point, supportive, and honest. To everyone else thinking about the course, do it!! See yall on the road🤙🏽 and stay safe"

"Mark made the experience well worth it. The class was very remedial but for licensing purposes it was useful. He was patient with the other students that had no experience. I appreciate his time and knowledge. The other instructors were great as well."

"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..."

"I went into this class scared to death; I’ve never been on a motorcycle let alone operate one. I left with a lot more confidence in my abilities to have my own in the near future. I had no idea I had it in me to do this, and it’s all thank to the instructors. 10/10 and will prob take the intermediate course later on"

- Leeanne Garcia, June 2026

"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!"

"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..."
