"I had a great time and learned a lot! I went in with 0 motorcycle experience. The classroom time was packed with information and a good preparation for the next session on the range. There's almost no wasted time during the classroom time and time on the motorcycle. They really condensed everything they could. It's also pretty fun."

"The introductory motorcycle course was great! Stephen the instructor was professional, friendly, and a great teacher. He gave excellent feedback as we practiced and made sure to identify and correct problems. The class taught so many necessary skills and aside from that, it was fun! Even though the second day on the range it rained, we still pushed through and completed the lessons. I highly recommend the course to anyone looking to begin riding..."

"Very knowledgeable and clearly dedicated staff. Q, Wyatt, and Tony were energetic, understanding, and had our safety and learning as their highest priority. As a somewhat experienced rider, I found this course very informative and useful. If you are a new rider, this course is indispensable. Take the course."
