"I had a great experience taking the course over the weekend. It was my first time riding and Evie was so calm and confident I knew I could trust her coaching. The course itself sets you up well as a good rider and will probably take the intermediate and advanced courses in the future."

"Had great teachers. Christ and Isaac. Have great tips and teachings to help me do things correctly and fix my mistakes. I got great skills and confidence and will definitely take the intermediate class at a later time."

"Highly recommended. Can’t say enough about this crew. These are the experts. Training courses of multiple skill levels available. Riding needs to be taken seriously and riders need to be prepared for the unexpected to make every ride as safe as possible. PTM has a great team packed with knowledge and experience that can help make every ride that such safer. Classes like this should be mandatory before taking to the roads, no matter where you are..."

"This course was a great value! The instructors have a fantastic breadth of knowledge and know exactly how to make their wisdom stick with the students. I would recommend this course to anyone who wants a leg-up on motorcycle safety which, in this day and age with more and more people on the road, is a necessity."

"Dylan and Christian are extremely knowledgeable and very focused on safety and building confidence. They provided individual feedback during all the exercises to help ensure success. Dylan was particularly positive and encouraging and helped me gain confidence to pass the class."

"5 stars for the program! I ve learned a lot just by attending this short 2 day course. Both Chris and Isaac are great instructors. They bring lots of real life experience and humor when they teach. They make the classes fun both inside the class room and on the range. Highly recommend them!!"
