"My daughter took the course and love it! Although she didn’t pass she learned so much and can’t wait to go back. Braydon & Dutchie brought their A-Game! My daughter will absolutely be going back, as will the rest of the family as they grow and learn. Thank you Learn To Ride!"

"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I highly recommend Learn to Ride HD! They took my completely uncoordinated16-year-old daughter and transformed her into a confident and safe rider. The instructors were patient and took the time to explain everything in a way that made it easy for her to understand. They broke down the steps and concepts, which really helped her gain confidence, even as someone with no prior experience..."

The presentations were clear, succinct, and provided a strong foundation for learning how to ride motorcycles..."

Too bad that guy felt entitled to not set his alarm clock properly and think that everyone else should wait for him!!!"

"It’s worth the price. I have never been on a motorcycle and was kinda nervous but I always wanted to be on a bike since I was a kid. I finally jumped the gun and took a spot on the course. The instructors: Jose and Garrett(I think) really do care and teach you how to ride and really helped build my confidence on it. I learned how to shift, turn, the dangers of riding, statistics, etc. My favorite thing I learned is how to use “SPAT”leaning the bike to turn(yes, they provide the bikes based on your height..."
