"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!"

"Got the pleasure of taking the beginner course and it was a blast! The instructors are passionate and just as excited to have you there as you are. If you go there to learn and have fun, you will leave a confident rider, certificate in hand. Additionally, don't let the written course material go to waste. It'll help you glide through DMV written test. Stay attentive and the course pays for itself and is definitely worth it. I'll be back for the Intermediate and Advance courses in the future for sure!"

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..."

"Took the beginner msc here and would definately recommend to anyone looking to get into motorcycling! I initially didn’t pass the skills test during my original class, but i was able to ride/practice the following week, retake my skills test and passed with flying colors! Larry was my instructor for both sessions and he was fun, funny and a great teacher!! I had Jose as an instructor for my 2nd class and he was really great at explaining the friction zone to me (which is what i struggled with the first go around) and how it differed from driving a car with manual transmission..."
