"I had a great time at the PMT. I had signed up for an intermediate course and got the most for my time and money. Instructors were the best - both knowledgeable and humble. I would strongly recommend this class for anyone looking to get a license or upgrading their motorcycle riding skills."

"The instructors, Wyatt and Steve were great! Before this class, I had not even sat on a motorcycle for more than 10 seconds (maybe). Their approach to teaching and coaching was very warm and welcoming and was exactly what a beginner needs to understand the basics, risks, safety, and what happens or doesn’t happen when performing riding techniques. I have already recommended this class to friends and family and hope they also get the top tier teachings I experienced."
