Before taking this class I had never been on a motorcycle (other than the half dozen times I was a passenger.) I was a little nervous about what to expect, but this class was AMAZING. They started off easy and progressed just as I was getting comfortable with a maneuver. I was never so far out of my comfort zone that I was anxious. All the staff was friendly, encouraging, and informative.

— Sarah

My instructors were insanely helpful and knowledgeable. My class was primarily first time riders and they were so patient with us and made sure we fully understood the instructions were given as well as first hand examples. They are very thorough with both the class and the riding segments each day.

— Rina

What an amazing experience. I had never driven a motorcycle before taking this course. They teach you an emphasis on safety and how to ride with simple exercises and build on as you grow your confidence.

— Vikki

Excellent instructors, highly recommend using this facility for motorcycle training. Instructors are highly knowledgeable and experienced and personable. Spend the money, do the training and thank yourself at the end of class for signing up!

FAQs

The Entry Exercise Test is performed to ensure that your skill level matches what will be required in order to train at an intermediate level. You will have 3 attempts to perform a lollipop test; if you are not able to complete this task you will not be able to continue with this specific course, and will need to be rescheduled for the Basic Riding Course.
You do not need your own motorcycle in order to participate in this course. We provide motorcycles for our students to use in training. We use 125 cc up to 310 cc training motorcycles. We have Honda Rebel, Suzuki GZ, Kawasaki Eliminator, BMW GS and Suzuki DR motorcycles.
The Intermediate Riding Clinic (w/ licensing), also called the One-Day Premier Course, includes a licensing option for unlicensed riders 21+. The Intermediate Riding Clinic is for already-licensed riders who want to improve skills—no licensing component. Our licensing course also provides motorcycles to use free of charge. For the licensing option, you must be 21 and older.
Unfortunately if you miss a class or show up late to a course time, you will need to re-enroll in the program. In order to re-enroll, you will be charged a fee of $125.00 and can come back as a standby student for up to 3 months (stand-by does not guarantee your seat). We highly recommend you arrive 30 minutes prior to designated start time.
Enrollment fees are non-refundable for any reason. You can drop your enrollment in a class and become a stand-by student for up to 3 months. Stand-by does not guarantee your seat. Last minute cancellations will result in a $125.00 reschedule fee.
In order to pass you have to take a written test and a riding test. If you do not pass, you will not receive the DL389 certificate and will need to schedule to retake the written and riding tests ($50 fee in order to use a bike). Private lessons are available to purchase before and/or after the course in order to help personally prepare you to pass.
We have no minimum height restrictions. However, riders are required to be able to touch both feet to the ground while straddling the motorcycle. Riders must also be able to hold the bike up when stopping or walking the motorcycle. We have motorcycles of various sizes—if you have concerns, please call the office.
You must take the Basic Course if you’re under 21. The One-Day Premier is only available to riders 21 and older.
