"Highly recommend this class for anyone who’s never rode a motorcycle before and is wanting to learn. The instructors here are amazing and definitely want to come back in the future and take their intermediate writing course."

"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."

The instructors: Jose and Garrett(I think) really do care and teach you how to ride and really helped build my confidence on it. I learned how to shift, turn, the dangers of riding, statistics, etc. My favorite thing I learned is how to use “SPAT”leaning the bike to turn(yes, they provide the bikes based on your height..."
