"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."

"This class teaches the basics to safe motorcycle riding like clutch/throttle control, counter steering, emergency stopping, and more. Passing the class gets you a waiver for the DMV practical test, which is a huge help. This class is also a great way to dip your toes into the world of motorcycles without spending a ton of money. They even provide the motorcycles and helmets! If it turns out you don't like riding or are not capable of it, at least you know you had professional instruction, on someone else's bike, and you've only spent a small amount of money."
- Jeff M, June 2017
"I had a great experience with the course! Marlene, Jose, Clark and Larry are great instructors! They are very knowledgeable, informative, and supportive team answering every question and giving good feedback. Looking forward to taking the advance course."
