Awful experience with the first class (Beginner Rider course) and then with communication back and forth trying to get scheduled for a second class. I should have already known and just picked a different school to ride with. Last year (when I took the class initially) the instructors were so harsh that I saw 2 other students leave the course in tears. Safety and motorcycle knowledge is extremely important, but at the cost of making students cry and quit? I don’t think so. Also kept us HOURS past 6pm and were clearly upset when people needed to make phone calls to reschedule whatever plans they had made for after. The first night we left at 8pm and the second night was 8:30pm. This was because we stood around for 2 hours in the middle of the day waiting for the first class of riders to finish so we could use their bikes. Really unorganized I thought but I was still going to give it another try and hope for the best. Just recently I tried signing up again for the Beginners course and was previously told that I would get a discounted price for my second sign-up. There’s no way to get the discount when registering by yourself through the website, so I went back and forth several times via email and phone with no solution and short answers or no answer at all...just “You’re all set to register online” and then another email brushing me off after I re-explained my situation. (I very clearly stated that I can’t get the discounted price online and would like to pay by card over the phone.) I’m taking my business elsewhere. Also placed several calls with no answer. Only one call back after the fact saying there was a “miscommunication.” Really hard to justify doing any kind of business here, so I won’t be again!

I learned so much and had a blast. I'd recommend this class to anyone! The instructors can be tough on you, but its because they want you to succeed. 11 out of the 12 people in my class got their license at the end of the weekend. Ignore the negative reviews.
I recently attended a "Ride Like a Pro" class because I thought from the class description that it would be appropriate for my skill level. It wasn't. On the website it says " Improves Rider Confidence and Ability • Never Fear a U-Turn or Dropping your Bike Again • No More Foot Dragging or Duck Walking Your Bike • At Least 3,000 Miles of Recent Riding Experience" I have 6000 miles of riding experience but was way out of place, so sadly the class did not improve my confidence, but left me feeling less sure of myself on my bike than I was when I came in. I had hoped to learn very practical stuff like turning into a tight parking spot or taking a sharp right hand turn with some ease; I did not. I feel that there are too many skills crammed into the five hours; for somebody who is starting to feel comfortable on their big bike but needs some pointers it went way too fast. It's a fine class for those who have a lot more experience and want to do fancy weaving stuff, but it seemed to me that the course description was misleading. I kind of wish I hadn't wasted my money and had stayed at home and watched YouTube videos instead, except it was a fine ride there and back. Also asking a student who is clearly struggling "What exactly do you hope to get out of this?" is not good. If a student is having problems, it's no use telling them to do more of the same thing; you need to identify WITH them, not AT them, what the problems are and encourage them. Just saying...
I enjoyed it and learned a lot. Good thing I took I learned things I thought I knew. Good instructors as well.
Took the Ride Like a Pro course here to enhance my riding skills. My instructors Jo and Dave were awesome! Very thorough, demonstrating every exercise with skill and ease. They kept giving us constant coaching to make sure we were on point. You can tell they enjoy what they do! I'll definitely be back for more in the future.
Would not recommend to anyone. I recently attended and did not have a pleasant experience at all. I currently already know how to ride but had taken the beginner class to get my license and so my mother would feel comfortable with me riding and not worry as much. I had Don teaching class and riding lessons and Howard an older man helping with just the riding. Allmost every time i asked a question in class I was told "we will go over that later, or "we will talk about that at the end of class" none of wich were ever addressed. I didnt pay 400 to speed through the learning book and be told "we will talk about it later " whenever I asked an important question. Don also seemed like he did not want to be there the whole time and was pretty rude pretty often, yelling at people during the riding lessons and alot more that I wont even get into. Howard I will add was completely fine and seemed like he enjoyed his job, he was very helpful and probably the only positive part of the class. I dont see how someone with no experience would be able to put up with don while under stress of riding for the first time. Luckily I had experience. I will also add one person that had mentioned they had zero experience, never came back after lunch on the second/last day. I had also seen him get yelled at infront of the whole class by don over small things, guessing that has to do with it.
Highly recommended I will go back for the pro courses
Good staff and decent bikes.
