"The introductory motorcycle course was great! Stephen the instructor was professional, friendly, and a great teacher. He gave excellent feedback as we practiced and made sure to identify and correct problems. The class taught so many necessary skills and aside from that, it was fun! Even though the second day on the range it rained, we still pushed through and completed the lessons. I highly recommend the course to anyone looking to begin riding..."

"Highly recommended! I haven’t been riding in 10 years so this beginner class was perfect! Instructors are very experienced and knowledgeable. I learned so much about what I didn’t know."
