"Had the best experience here! Evie and Erin were great teachers, they made the training fun and intentional. I went from never riding a bike to being completely comfortable shifting gears, emergency braking and swerving and so much more in just 2 days. Highly recommend this course for safety, skills, confidence, and fun!"

"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 have been riding almost 45 years. The skills I learned from the instructors has changed my way of riding and makes it so much easier to control my bike and very much safer. I was doing it the hard way. A big thank you to all the instructors"

"The Beginner course is great! A lot of good safety and basic motorcycle operating procedures covered in the theory classes. PMT provides bikes for people who don't own one yet to practice with. The instructors on the course are very helpful and provide continuous feedback to correct riding posture and other nuances. I would definitely recommend taking this course for people who aren't comfortable or used to riding a motorcycle."
