"A highly recommended, informative and thorough, course that covers all the basics, taught by extremely professional instructors and should be mandatory for any beginning rider. In attendance were riders of all levels of experience ranging from those who had never been on a bike to those who had ridden for years, but wanted to get back to the essentials. Also very fun, and it includes the driven test so you don’t have to take that part at the DMV once you’ve graduated."

"Epic learning experience!!! Conceptual, tactile, visual and hands-on! Very thorough lesson by highly experienced instructors at the perfect pace to allow even the most novice of beginners to grasp the dexterous maneuvers required to take to the road beyond. Absolute must step to getting the m1 license. Huge thanks to Wyatt, Kevin and Steve for helping me pass my test and getting on the road to that horizon. AAAAAAAAA+++++++++"

"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."

"I signed up to this class wanting to overcome past trauma and full filling a life long desire. Walking in with sweating palms, a shaky gate and even fogging up the shield on the helmet I thought everyone could notice the anxiety that was clearly evident. It was my very first time being in control of a motorcycle- there was no need for me to tell the instructors- they already knew. They began to build up my confidence little by little and as the day progressed my body felt more and more at ease..."

"Fantastic beginner motorcycle course. I gained a wealth of crucial knowledge and feel far more confident to get out on the road on a motorcycle. All of the instructors were incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and friendly. Will definitely be back for the intermediate course."

"Q and Crusoe are amazing instructors. Honestly couldn’t have asked for anyone better. Both of them teach in an easy to learn way as well."

"Chris and Dylan were phenomenal instructors. They were professional, funny, and ensured me and the group were safe. I thoroughly enjoyed this program and would highly recommend it to anyone. On top of being highly informative, my instructors were patient and made sure I was educated. I didn’t know (almost) anything about motorcycles but after this course I feel confident in riding. If you’re thinking about it, you should do it! 🤗"
