"I had an awesome experience here at Learn to Ride VC. The instructors are extremely knowledgeable and friendly. They genuinely cared about our success and it showed! I found out that Learn to Ride VC offers CHP CMSP MTC (Motorcyclist Training Course) classes which can get you a skills test waiver (DL389) and they also offer the CHP CMSP Total Control IRC (Intermediate Riding Clinic) and Total Control ARC (Advanced Riding Clinics) The classroom is located in a small industrial park off of Surfside Drive's North/South segment..."

"Highly recommend this class for anyone who’s never rode a motorcycle before and is wanting to learn. The instructors here are amazing and definitely want to come back in the future and take their intermediate writing course."

"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!"
