"I had basically no experience on a motorcycle. The instructors were patient, extremely helpful, and had a good progression though the class for beginners. By the end of the riding portion I had a basic grasp of how to ride. I am by no means ready to hit the highway, but I am more than comfortable enough to ride and practice on my own on slow streets and get better on my own now that I know the fundamentals."

"First time ever touching a motorcycle, came out of the course with a heap of knowledge and fundamentals. Always more to learn, but as a beginner course I couldn’t really ask for more. Instructors were great at their job. They were patient and did very well at spotting and correcting my mistakes, so that by the end of it I was comfortable riding the bike. Highly recommend."

"Erin, Joe and Evie are incredible instructors, super friendly, funny and they have tons of patience. Even someone who has been riding for years can learn a new trick or technique. No one is perfect, and for the beginners, there is no better class. Thank you PMT and team!"
