"I had a great time taking this course! The instructors Craig and Issac, were patient with me and answered all of my questions. (I hope I didn't ask too many!) They were very informative and made me feel confident, and now I can be a better rider and also a better driver too! I would recommend this course to anyone in the Bay area no matter what level of rider you are."

"Every one of the instructors were clear, concise, and patient. Couldn’t recommend this course enough for anyone a little worried about starting off their motorcycle journey. They go over the basics of the bike, safety maneuvers and the importance of counter steering. Show up open minded and ready to mess up often."

- Daniel Sandoval, February 2024

"I had never driven a motorcycle before and by the end of the class I was able to shift up and down, understand how to use both brakes, and execute proper turning techniques. The instructors, Dylan and Crusoe, ensured everyone was on the same page for the exercises and would provide positive and negative feedback on how the students performed on the exercises. I highly recommend this course!"

- Nick Rodriguez, June 2023

"As a person who rode for 18+ years then took a 35+ year break, the class was an excellent refresher. It helped me remember a lot of things (push steering for one) that I had long forgotten. The instructors were personable, friendly, professional and VERY knowledgeable. All in all, I feel it was an excellent investment in time and money. I highly recommend this class for ALL beginners and those of us that have had a long hiatus from riding."

- Rowen, April 2024

"Fantastic course. Instructors were clear, friendly and efficient. Really helped build a lot of basic skills. Highly recommend. Only downside was the cold and windy weather in South SF!"

- Eric Wald, June 2024

"Q and Crusoe are amazing instructors. Honestly couldn’t have asked for anyone better. Both of them teach in an easy to learn way as well."

- Aashish Kapoor, September 2023

"I recently took the intermediate course to get my motorcycle license, and honestly, I was a bit nervous about the skills test at first. But the bikes they provided were all new or newer models, super easy to ride, and that made a huge difference. The overall experience was fun, and the day flew by. We had a bit of classroom time, but most of the day was spent riding — which is exactly what I was hoping for. The instructors were very relaxed and easygoing, which helped make the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free..."
