"Fantastic beginner's class which taught me how to ride and do it safely. Within two days of purchasing my first motorcycle I used the fundamentals taught to avoid an accident when a car made an illegal U-turn directly in front of me. Steve and Jeff are superb instructors and I cannot say enough good things about them and the class. Take some water and light snacks with you."

"Honestly, I was scare to the bone; had trouble with whiskey throttle. However, Bob & Jessie were a great help in every aspect throughout the whole 3 days. I learn a lot, I appreciate the help they gave and guidance was amazing. I recommend this course, it'll help you learn the basics and with Bob and Jessie, they will teach you to total control the bike."

"Prior to the class, my only motorcycle experience was a few hours on a 125 in the dirt, then bought a 650 (the deal on the bike was too hard to pass up) but felt overwhelmed on it even just going down the street...after the class, it's just feels like the perfect bike for me. The class made all of the difference in the world for me (at least for street riding)"

"Totally worth every penny and every minute! Justin & Alison were awesome, patient instructors with clear passion for riding and safety. I do not doubt that the sound foundation of safe riding and good judgement this class established in my riding habits will one day save me - life and limb."
