"Great, knowledgeable group of guys that make the whole experience of learning how to ride enjoyable. Would recommend to anyone wanting to learn how to ride safely or improve on their skills to better their rider knowledge."
- Zach Davenport, July 2020
"Professional staff provided thorough and precise training on how to handle and safely ride a motorcycle. From learning the controls, gears, and brakes to negotiating various driving scenarios. Although I have experience with motorcycles, it’s been several years since I last rode and this course was well worth the time. The focus on safety and awareness was much appreciated."

"The instructors are very friendly and patient with riders who are typically new to riding. Ensuring that they are pausing to answer questions and allowing time for new riders to catch up with those that might have some experience. They are constantly providing feedback to ensure that riders are correcting behavior to be successful with the class. I would highly recommend these guys for those who are looking to sign up for some lessons!"

"I think it was one of the best things I’ve done for myself in forever. It was very knowledgeable. Very informative and instructors were awesome. I just wish it was more personalized anyways, but that’s it other than that I would recommend it to my grandmother. I witnessed almost 2 individuals that had no knowledge about motorcycle riding when they got there and on the second day, they were riding their motorcycle like a champ that goes to show that the instructors did their jobs ..."

"The instructors were friendly and very knowledgeable. They were patient and gave me a lot of helpful tips when I was having trouble with the controls and following some of their instructions. Evie ran to help me when I fell over (thank God I wasn't going fast). I would have liked to spend more time getting used to the bike before starting maneuvers. It was my first time on a motorcycle and I never learned how to drive a car with a manual transmission so it took me a while to learn how to coordinate the clutch/switching gears with the acceleration..."

"Had great teachers. Christ and Isaac. Have great tips and teachings to help me do things correctly and fix my mistakes. I got great skills and confidence and will definitely take the intermediate class at a later time."
