Reviews Summary
Ryan's school and his course get a lot of praise. Many had no experience on a motorcycle and only had encouraging and friendly things to say about Ryan. They appreciated how he taught them the skills required to safely operate a motorcycle and how he made them feel comfortable and confident in his lessons. They also liked how he was available and willing to help them even after the course had ended. The one-on-one lessons were particularly helpful, as they focused on the test's specifics. When these riders went back, they did better. This is a great course, recommended to all, but especially for beginners. The smaller class sizes allow for more communication and also makes you feel like the instructor is tailoring the lesson to you.
