Q. Does taking your class allow me to bypass going to the DMV and just get a license through you?
A. Unfortunately, we do not issue motorcycle licenses. If you take this class, please be aware that it does not waive any requirements for DMV. No clarification needed. We are a private training company.

 

Q. Do I need some sort of license to take the beginner’s courses?
A. No, as the lessons take place in a parking lot, no previous license is required.

 

Q. What prerequisites do I need before attending my lesson?
A. The one thing no one can teach is balance. Students who have never ridden a bicycle or anything that requires balance may or may not get their sense of balance in the time allowed. We can’t separate those students and let them keep trying. Occasionally we do have to ask students to come back after they have practiced balancing. If a balance issue cannot be resolved, we unfortunately can not offer a refund.
