"I recently took the beginner riding class in the Livermore Ca location. The instructors were very knowledgeable and very professional. The skills learned in the class reinforced the importance of safety and smooth and proper handling of the bike. I would recommend this class to anyone interested in learning how to ride. Special thanks to Dillon and the other instructors who made the weekend educational and fun at the same time! We had such a great a great experience that a group of us signed up for the intermediate riding class..."

"I really enjoyed this motorcycle course. I have been riding for over two years and would consider myself an intermediate rider. The teachers were fantastic - Wyatt and another guy but I can’t remember his name :/ they were clear, fun and knowledgeable, and the course was set out really well. I was thankful that we did similar drills/exercises over and over again to really impress it into our memory and get it right, and like I said, the teachers were excellent ..."

"Chris is an amazing teacher and really customizes his instruction to your specific needs. I learned so much in the first class, and I will be continuing my education with them so that I can be the best rider possible. Would highly recommend to anyone at any skill set!"

"I had ZERO experience on a motorcycle and by the first day of behind the wheel class I was riding!! Great course! It’s a lot to take in but the instructors were very patient, friendly and knowledgeable! Dylan and Tony were awesome!! They had great chemistry and made the course fun!! Tony is super supportive and encouraging and Dylan can be hard on you but when he praises you, you know you did a good job! Love the enthusiasm of those two. Will definitely sign up for the intermediate class in the future."

"What an amazing experience these highly skilled instructors provide. Instructors take turns leading classroom learning sessions, providing feedback after students perform exercises on the motor cycles and they each perform (ride) demonstrations of the various exercises themselves, showing us how to and not to execute the. This is a top notch organization!!!"
