"This was a great experience. I'd never even been on a bike before and by the end of day two I could actually manage the bike and learned so much. The instructors were amazing, informative, patient, and knowledgeable. Would highly recommend."

"Isaac and Zac were fantastic instructors for the Basic Motorcycle Training course! They did a great job explaining everything clearly and thoroughly, making sure everyone understood the fundamentals needed not just for training but also for getting licensed. The practices were run on time, well-structured, and really helped build confidence. They treated everyone with respect and were patient with each person’s skill level. Highly recommend this team if you’re looking to get started with riding!"

"I took the January 24 course with Craig and Evie as the instructors. Great coaching, great drills, and great classroom explanations! Great meeting all the other students and learning from all the feedback. I would highly recommend the intermediate course and will be taking an advanced course in the future!!"

"Really cool staff, very knowledgeable (Maya, Tommy, George and Chris are all excellent instructors! ) Had a good time and learned a lot plus gained confidence in my riding. Will be signing up for that track day soon on my new Mt 09 :)"

"Helpful staff. Knowledgeable instructors. You will definitely come out more confident in riding a motorcycle if you are a newbie. A con though: You better pass the written test the first time, or else they will charge you $75 to re-take it. I personally did not see the reason why. I mean, I took it during their business hour."
