Great place to take your training the facility is very clean and the bike are newer. The two instructors that I had George and Ted where very helpful full and knowledgeable and just overall cool guys but don't be fooled they have a job to do and if you are not following directions or being unsafe they will send you home. This is a pass or fail timed course. If you can't keep up you will be sent home in my opinion if you do not know the basics of how to ride you need to practice first before coming to the school. I had a great time and definitely learned something's can't wait to take the more advanced courses.

Just passed the Motorcyclist Training Course and I really loved it. It was hard to get things on the first try and my practice didn't make perfect but I really learned the basics of how to ride. The evaluation at the end of the course wasn't so bad and if I didn't pass I felt that no matter what, I learned how to be safe for when I finally do get on a motorcycle out on the road, but I actually passed

Great place to learn how to ride a motorcycle. Had no experience but left feeling confident to take my morning commute to work. Russ and George are great instructors and explain the mechanics very well. Couldn’t recommend a better place!

I'm surprised this isn't a mandatory class to obtain your M1 endorsement. It was completely worth it.

We had riders of all different experience levels in our class; all the way down to ZERO experience AND minimal years with a license. Also about half never operated a clutch before.

The consensus was it was worth every penny. Even those who already had their M1 endorsement and were taking the class to lower their insurance rates.

The classes were recommended to me by my buddies I ride with who have been riding for a long time. I had been riding for a little less than a year on an M1 permit, but have lots of experience with commercial and OHV experience. I learned a lot!

The instructors do a fantastic job critiquing your riding habits and letting you know what you need to work on, all in a very controlled and safe environment. It starts off slow, gradually increasing in difficulty as each session progresses. You'll definitely gain the confidence needed to operate a motorcycle. Even as an experienced rider, you'll get to practice those scenarios you dread coming across. Even some you never thought of before.

You'll get plenty of ride time, and the class portion goes at a steady pace. I recommend it to anyone looking to improve their riding skills, or especially those new to riding.

LONG REVIEW :

I recommend this course to people who want to learn the basics of a motorcycle, the proper and safe ways to go about riding. My bf and I had the pleasure of having George and Russel as our instructors.

We went during the week which was way better than the weekend. It was only 3 of us so the flow of the class was just right and I personally felt like I was getting more attention from the teachers.

The facility itself is nice and clean. Well kept. Has vending machines and other stuff you can use.

The motorcycles are cool. I think they’re good for beginners. One of the options reminds me of a Honda grom, just a little bigger.

George and Russel were (imo) great, professional and funny. To me the cherry on top was their personality. They definitely made me feel comfortable and I had a great time.

I started with Tuesday - Wednesday class and unfortunately I didn’t pass my 2nd test. I went back Saturday-Sunday and there were 9 people so yea weekdays definitely better.

Sundays class went down to 4 people so not too bad and I also got to work with Anthony, another great instructor.

I passed on my 2nd attempt. Of course I was upset when I got the bad news my first time but the great thing is I got the opportunity to reattempt and it was way better. Passed. Thank you for the learning experience and everything I learned in class I will definitely try my best to remember and utilize while riding out in the real world.

This course is definitely worth it. I wasn’t sure if a bike was going to be for me, but after this course I had the confidence to go out and get myself one. Tianna and Russ are amazing instructors that pay attention to every small detail to make sure you are prepared for that first ride. This course also made the written exam for the M1 much easier so thank you guys!

George and Russell are super good instructors I highly recommend this course if you want to learn safety or getting a motorcycles permit/M1 license. Also watch some videos on what to expect so you’re not as nervous diving into the unknown.

The basic riding course is worth every penny. George, Russ, & Tianna are top notch instructors who have a combined riding experience of over half a century. The course is safe and professionally run. Invest in the training, it may save your life one day!
