"Loved the pacing of the class. Instructors did an awesome job of calming nerves and presenting the material in a helpful way. I was surprised how comfortable I felt on a bike after taking this class. And how much road knowledge was presented to us. Thanks!"

"My daughter (18) and I (43) took the class together, and it was fun and informative for both of us. We both went in with zero skills / experience and came out with a motorcycle endorsement, and a solid understanding of how to be safe and responsible on the road. I can't say enough good things about our instructors, Tana & Jiri..."

"Training was excellent! Both Chadwick and Doug presented the material in an accessible and informative way, and we had a lot of fun at the same time! I would strongly recommend the Beginner Riding Clinic to anyone that wants to learn about motorcycles and be safe on the road. We can't wait to come back for the Intermediate courses..."

"Excellent curriculum. My instructor, Bob, has obviously gone above and beyond in learning how to teach. His passion for motorcycling came through in his dedication to making sure each of us understood the skills and could apply them. I learned a ton and would recommend the class to anyone!"

― Andrew Morrow

"Very experienced instructors who shared important skills and knowledge that every new rider should have. I took this course with my 17-year-old daughter and we had a great time and feel much more confident about riding on our own now."

"If you're looking at this review to help decide which endorsement company to go through....Iron Buffalo is the one !!!!!! The pace of the class is perfect for beginners!! My instructor Chadwick was awesome- I can't recommend him enough. The passion and dedication him and the other Instructors displayed was genuine and it made the class that much more enjoyable! ***Happy Riding ! "

"I took the intermediate class hoping to better handle the new 800 plus pound motorcycle I recently purchased. Instructors ( Peter & Tana ) we re great ,not a job they really love teaching.The class is a little book and video but mostly hands on riding. The instructors will give you information about what you are not doing correctly as well as kudos as you improve..."
