"I had my M1 motorcycle license and this was a refresher course for me. I am glad I took this course because I learned a lot from very experienced instructors. I could not believe people who could not balance on the motorcycle on day one was riding at high speed between cones at the end of second day. So even if you are afraid of looking at motorcycles, they teach you to ride it and enjoy it. Thanks guys, you are great. You save a lot of lives."

"I highly recommend this motorcycle safety course for anyone who needs a refresher or anyone who is new to riding. I never rode a motorcycle a day in my life until I took this course and I’m so thankful for the amazing instructors I had that helped me during my class and still use what they taught me in my riding today. Definitely coming back and taking their intermediate riding course to keep developing my skills!"

"My son and I took this class together. The overall experience was EXCELLENT! Zoom class was taught by Tiffany who was an awesome speaker who made it easy to listen and learn! Then there was a man, I forgot his name, but he was "Cool,Cool" a phrase he often said too. Then on the range in Wrightwood, our instructors, Zig & Dutch were down to earth and very professional. I unfortunately didn't complete the class that day, but my son passed with a 'Zero'! He got his certificate just a few days later in the mail, went to DMV and was licensed within a week! I completed the course a couple of weeks later and the range instructors were Zig and Brayden..."

"Mark made the experience well worth it. The class was very remedial but for licensing purposes it was useful. He was patient with the other students that had no experience. I appreciate his time and knowledge. The other instructors were great as well."

"I had an amazing time in early October here at Motorcycle Training Services Inc. Jon and his mate were outstanding! They were very knowledgeable, respectful, and fun. I cannot recommend this company highly enough, and I can't wait to come back to take the advanced training classes. Thank you!"
