"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."

- Conlan Barrett, August 2025

"I was so impressed with how patient and thorough every instructor at Learn to Ride was. I had zero experience in anything motorcycle related but their in-class and on range sessions made sure I felt comfortable before leaving the course. I would highly highly recommend taking their course if you’ve ever been interested in learning to ride a motorcycle!"

"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 could not be happier that I decided to go to Learn to Ride Vc for this experience. My instructor’s Mark and Jose were amazing— super patient, knowledgeable, and always had a positive attitude. I learned so much and can’t wait to apply it all in real life! 10/10 recommend 😊"

- Gianna Suppa, January 2025

"I went into this class scared to death; I’ve never been on a motorcycle let alone operate one. I left with a lot more confidence in my abilities to have my own in the near future. I had no idea I had it in me to do this, and it’s all thank to the instructors. 10/10 and will prob take the intermediate course later on"

"Great place to learn/refresh basic motorcycle skills. Instructors practice what they preach."

- ed tomines, August 2024

"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..."
