Our latest reviews

Had my class over the weekend and got great instructions from Lee, Ted, Noah and Patrick. The practical exercises and drills progressed nicely throughout the day, building on some foundations. Lee & Ted's focus on safety and building good riding habits made me really feel that 1st gear isn't in the market to just take your money and sign off on anyone's MST/MSA. Noah and Patrick gave really good advice to the class to tidy up some skills during our drills all while maintaining the chill atmosphere/vibe. All of them are knowledgeable and passionate about the sport, just don't ask them to do the math on how many years of experience they have combined. The range of available motorcycles was really great too as everyone in the class was able to try out many different styles of riding and really find what they're looking for without committing to something blindly. I look forward to continuing on with the sessions afterwards to gain more confidence on the road in preparation for a road test and will recommend this school to anyone looking to get into riding.

I wasn’t sure if (as a 67 year old woman) I would be capable on a motorcyle and/or like operating one. Instructors Lee and Todd were very personable, clear, and supportive. The course work itself was well laid out as was the practical work. Starting slowly to make sure we understood the weight/balance of a motorcyle up to learning how to make a quick but practiced manoeuver to get out of potential trouble – all this has made me look forward to purchasing a bike and getting out on the road. Thank you guys!

I cannot begin to explain how incredible the experience was getting my motorcycle training done through the team of Mel, Adrian, Brian and Lee. I’m entirely new to the motorcycle space and within a matter of really what felt like a day I was up and riding and feeling more confident about my decision to learn how to ride. We had hours and hours of riding time in a very spacious parking lot and we got to try out a ton of different bikes, which was really fun. The instructors did a really good job explaining the content and allowing everybody to go at their own pace the online content was also quite interesting and I loved the video editing which made things interesting and fun rather than boring. I only had purchased the one road ride package, but like most of the people in my group we are upgrading to the three road ride package because we can see the benefits of it and quite frankly, probably just wanna hang out with the instructors again. They make it easy to upgrade and aren’t trying to ever ring you of any extra money. If you’re contemplating signing up for the course, do it, don’t hesitate!
