"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!"

"To keep it straight and to the point, study what you’re given and you’ll pass easy. I had the best instructors and I’m glad I got to learn and experience more about the motorcyclist world. To mention, I prefer the 2 day because it was informative and quick. Thank you Arden, Marco, and Grant for being to the point, supportive, and honest. To everyone else thinking about the course, do it!! See yall on the road🤙🏽 and stay safe"

"I have had experience with multiple instructors and the owner of Learn to Ride VC and all of my experiences with them were extremely pleasant. The instructors are very professional while still being assertive and teaching important, life saving skills. I highly suggest them to anybody looking to learn to ride from the very beginning, improve their skills or just trying to get their license. All who work with Learn to Ride VC will leave being a more knowledgeable and safe rider!"
