― Warren Swartwout

"Bob and Doug are great instructors. Very professionally run course with great content. I learned a lot and had a great time."

― John Box

"Wonderful experience. I had zero motorcycle experience going in. They covered all the basics and got me proficient in two days. The classroom exercises were straight forward and prepared me for the test. The practical exercises on the bike were a challenge for me at first but became second nature by the end of day two. I would recommend this class to both new and experienced riders looking to get a Colorado endorsement."

― Ryan Coryell

"Great class, very informative. Class was very small in a very convenient location away from city traffic. Bryan is a great laid back teacher, he was always ready to answer all our questions and concerns. Thanks guys. Highly recommended!!!! Jaro, Granby Colorado"

"The instructors were extremely knowledgeable, very nice and put us all at ease about getting on the bikes and performing the required exercises to obtain our licenses. Everything was well organized and well run."

― Armando Vasquez

"Our instructors wee amazing. They are very knowledgeable, patient, kind, and have great teaching methods. They are a good team. If I had reason enough we would take the class again just for fun. We haven't purchased our Spyder yet but their teachings helped me to be a better driver in general - more thoughtful when it comes to two- and three-wheelers on the road."
