"What an amazing experience these highly skilled instructors provide. Instructors take turns leading classroom learning sessions, providing feedback after students perform exercises on the motor cycles and they each perform (ride) demonstrations of the various exercises themselves, showing us how to and not to execute the. This is a top notch organization!!!"

"Fantastic class. I thought I knew about riding a motorcycle. I learned so much more. I highly recommend taking this class. The instructor takes his time with each student to ensure you understand. Well worth the money."

"Great learning experience! Safe environmemt with good pacing amd rest time inbetween. Instructors followed the manual closely so everything was covered. Instructors were encouraging but also letting you know what to improve. Only downside would be various states of the available bikes and so it is a bit of a lottery. Otherwise overall great!"

"Great class and teachers. Q, Crusoe, and Dylan really did a great job, especially with coaching some of the first time riders. I used to ride a dirt bike when I was younger and I found this class a great refresher for getting back on the road and I highly recommend this taking courses here vs Bay Area Motorcycle Training (which I've taken before)"
