"Ryan and Wolfe were amazing. I had not been on a bike before, or even had any experience in a manual car. My intention was to be on a moped, but wanted to take a class for road safety. My boundaries were pushed, my confidence boosted, and now I feel where I stand in the real world. I recommend taking the class for literally anyone getting on two wheels in any capacity. Thank you Ryan and Wolfe!"

"Awesome experience, I would definitely recommend it to anyone who is interested learning to ride motorcycles and get your m1. Everyone was helpful and interested in helping you learn and get you comfortable on 2 wheels."

"Suuuuuper informative and well laid out course, covering all the basics on what it takes to be a safe rider. Highly recommend before buying your first bike as this will be the perfect introduction and instill good habits before you have time to develop bad habits on your own. The class size isn't bad, capped at 12 riders which leaves plenty of room and time for personal instruction as well as riding exercises. My only complaint is the early hour that the class starts at, but that's necessary in order to get a full day of education in."
