"Q and Cruise? Kurt? please correct me. They were great instructors! Also they are very cool guy. Thank you very much for what you teach us!"
- Ken Yamanokuchi, November 2022
"Dillon, Crusoe, and Q are instructors of the highest quality. Great knowledge and really fun teaching style. The bikes and safety gear are good enough for learning - you’ll feel more than confident by the time you take the test. Great value too."
- Owen Davies, April 2024
"It was a really nice experience out here learning how to ride a motorcycle. The instructors are those who love riding and they are people who are passionate about teaching riding culture. They always want you to ride safe and have fun!"
- John Wu, July 2023
"I completed the basic safety course this past weekend with Thomas and Erin. Great instructors - patient and really helpful! It was my first time riding a motorcycle so I was pretty intimidated at first but much more confident and comfortable by the end of day 2. Huge thanks to the instructors for their time, patience, and dedication. Highly recommend!"
- Iva G, July 2024
"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!"
- Rimal Kumar, August 2024
"Great instructors who brought patience, humor and first class professionalism to the serious topics covered through this well thought out program. The bikes are adequate for the job and the location is ideal with great views and no distractions. The toilets are quite a walk and during our visit could have done with a few lightbulbs being replaced. The 6 to 1 instructor to pupil ratio is ideal in providing quality learning."
- Fraser Marshall, April 2025
"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
