Me and my boyfriend attended this class 8/1-8/3. We went with absolutely no riding experience ever and left feeling more confident then ever. we learned so much and our instructors were so encouraging! after we finished the course we went to a high school parking lot on our own bike and were able to ride it with confidence. the things they teach you are also very good to know when driving in your car. i have always known to drive careful around motorcycles, but now i feel a better appreciation for the riders.
i would deffinately recommend taking this course if you are new to riding or have been riding and dont feel that confident. we are going to take the advanced riders course in a few months after we ride around 3k miles and feel more at ease. whatever you do, dont go pay more money for a name brand class like harley, this class is so laid back and teaches you so much. -

Hello. I'm JB. I once wrecked two motorcycles in the span of a week and followed up those crashes with a near miss on a scooter two weeks later. According to the stats quoted in the class, most motorcycle crashes and fatalities happen due to improper cornering based or lack of skill, too much speed and rider error. All were factors in both of my crashes. Clearly I needed to improve my riding skills.
I chose Awesome Cycles as the instructors for my MSF Basic RiderCourse based on the testimonials on their site and was not disappointed. The classroom instructors (Debbie & David) were veteran riders with laid back demeanors and straight forward delivery styles. Take the three day course if you're considering completing the course now as you're not out on the parking lot in the hottest part of the day.
In case you are wondering, I went out for a spin after class and avoided an accident thanks to my much improved cornering skills. I didn't panic when the oncoming car stopped in the apex of the turn. Instead, I just Slowed, Looked, Pushed & Rolled...and Pushed some more. Take the class and you'll know what I'm talking about. -

I highly recommend this class. I left feeling like I got all my money's worth. A fun atmosphere while maintaining professional and informative. The bikes were in great mechanical condition. They are scratched and bruised but that only inspires comfort. They are dropped daily by students. I wouldn't want to be the first to drop a new bike. I would ignore comments about the wife with the Streetglide. I was in her class. Very nice lady but needed some more experience before tackling a large bike. Some people can't believe that they may have made a mistake buying a first time rider with little confidence a brand new 800 pound motorcycle. Most professionals will recommend a smaller bike to gain experience. These classes are are great to get you started but do not make you an expert in two days. It was a great school and I plan on returning for my experienced riders course.

General info:
I attended their Basic Rider Course this past weekend with instructors Louie and Mike. The classroom section with 18 people was broken into two "range" sections: one with Louie of six people and the remaining people with Mike and a second instructor. We spent about 3 hours in the classroom each morning before going to lunch and spent the rest of the day from 12-6 on the range.
Classroom section:
The facilities are relatively easy to find with directions from their website. Facilities include everything you need (bathrooms clean, coffee, and snacks and drinks for purchase on the honor system - bring a few bucks cash). The teaching style was informative and direct with demonstrated fun and enthusiasm about the subject. Both instructors are highly skilled riders and very willing to share their experiences and expertise.
Range section:
When we got back from lunch, bikes were set up on the range. We picked up out helmets and after a quick safety speech were sitting on the bikes learning the basics. I was amazed how fast we learned. I had no riding experience before the course (besides a bicycle when I was a kid). Everyone learned extremely fast. Louie explained and then demonstrated each exercise before we got on the bikes. He fielded questions with great knowledge and an easy way of explaining the material.
Bottom Line:
The following day I went the DPS, got my motorcycle license and feel completely confident that I have a fantastic foundation to ride any bike. I loved the experience and still keep in touch with some of my class mates!
Awesome Cycles key message is: Did you have fun? Did you learn something? My answer: Yes to both!!
