"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."

"Zac & Isaac took the time to explain not just how to ride, but why each technique matters—from proper clutch control and braking to situational awareness on the road. They created a comfortable learning environment where I felt supported, never rushed, and always safe."
- Sheila Brosseau, August 2025
"I took a beginner’s course just two days ago in this blistering heat, but with Evie, Mark and Zac instructing not just me, but a bunch of my classmates was a fun experience. We were given plenty of water, in-depth guidance and critical feedback after the classes were done. I will definitely come back for the intermediate course in the future."
- Anish Ansari, August 2025
"Amazing experience! Evie and Erin were incredibly patient and worked with me individually on skills that I struggled with and didn't make me feel bad for messing up. Joey brought the energy and encouragement and was fun to work with. There were many opportunities to practice the skills so the test at the end wasn't intimidating. I recommend this class for all noobs and for anyone who wants to learn how to ride the right way."
- Jessica Thiragirayuta, June 2024
"The basic course was a rewarding and positive learning experience with a strong emphasis on skills building and reinforcement with real world application. It is imperative that all new motorcyclists complete this training. As a returning motorcyclist I found it to be a great review that helped me to unlearn bad habits, especially in emergency braking. The instructors are exemplary. I will take the intermediate and advanced courses as soon as I can..."
- Robert Ragsac, Jr., November 2024
"Highly recommended! I haven’t been riding in 10 years so this beginner class was perfect! Instructors are very experienced and knowledgeable. I learned so much about what I didn’t know."
- Roy Selvidge, April 2024
