"I rode a motorcycle a long time ago. I stopped riding in 1992 and about 7 years ago I let my license go . I found it to be very informative. The instructor was wonderful. I'm going to take their advanced class."

- Daniel Pollace, November 2025

"Instructors were friendly and gave good constructive criticism about how to fix your issues. I was a total beginner when it came to riding a bikes and by the end of the class I was quite comfortable with the maneuvering. My only wish is if the course completion certificate and form for the DMV was given faster or in person rather than mailed so we can get our license faster."

- Muthu Mohan, July 2023

"Excellent training services. Friendly customer support. Awesome instructors. Would recommend. Wyatt and Lorenzo do an amazing job!"

- Rahul Sankar, July 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

"I had never ridden a motorcycle before this class, and now that I have completed the full course (online and in person, on bike, portions) I can't imagine learning to ride without it. The online classes were comprehensive and much more real world than I was expecting. The on bike training was solid, and our instructor knowledgeable, patient, upbeat, but also firm. I appreciated her immensely. HIGHLY recommend."

- Papa EchoTango, February 2024

"Loved the training. Had great instructors and everyone loves to teach. It was a place i felt great with learning and making mistakes so they could teach me to be better. Location was perfect as well. Nothing better than being at Laguna Seca."

- Michael Jonathan Cunningham, July 2025

"Nice and knowledgeable instructors! You learn the basics and it helped me become more confident riding."
