"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 ..."
