"Fantastic program, facility, bikes and instructors. My 18 year old and I both took the 2 day beginner program; she's never riden a motorcycle but I have. The instructors were knowledgeable, patient and encouraging. Everyone in the group was supportive and just great people all around. Highly recommend!"

"Dan and Wyatt were great instructors. Wyatt is super chill and explains well while offering his own tips to make sure you really understand. Dan is super lighthearted and is always cracking jokes so you don’t feel too bad or beat yourself up when you make a mistake. I would definitely recommend taking this class as a first time rider they are super patient with you no matter how many times you stall the bike, make sure to bring snacks it’s a decent amount of time to be rider and learning."

"I am training to be an instructor and it is required to take several classes to get an understanding of the program from a new rider's perspective. I am impressed with how well the program works I have been to 1 class and then I was a student both times I watched Evie teach very new students ranging in age how to ride a motorcycle. She is a great teacher and is very good at giving positive feedback and helping the students if they need help in a certain drill..."

"PMT was awesome! I’ve been riding a few years and still learned so much! Mark and Zack are great teachers! They explained everything very well and made sure everyone understood. I’ll be going back to the intermediate class and talked one of my friends into going also, definitely worth it. Hopefully I’ll get mark and Zach as instructors again! 🤘"

"All three instructors I had really knocked it out of the park. The training hours felt like time and money very well-spent. I gained concrete skills on the bike and got really good feedback on my technique as I learned. Instructors were direct yet patient and did well managing a variety of skill levels. There were two instructors each day and they did great managing a fairly large group. It never felt like too many people or like I didn't have the chance to ask questions..."

"Great class by Wyatt, Joey and team. I really learned a lot and everyone was so nice and helpful. Directions were clear and exercises built up to provide proficiency in the skills to ride."
- Gretchen Mora, August 2025
"This is a top notch training school. Excellent instructors and a professional staff from start to finish. It was so amazing, I’m going through all the levels up to the advanced class. Take this one with no hesitation!"
