Hello Ron,

 

I wanted to thank you for the great instruction last weekend.  As I share my experiences with friends and family, I am reminded about how much we learned.  We learned so much because of your leadership.  You made the class fun. In the classroom you peaked our interests.  I really like the way you kept everyone engaged by promoting discussions, asking us questions and having us read to each other.  You also explained more difficult subjects in a manner that everyone could understand.  On the bikes, your explanations were clear and unambiguous.  This led to success for everyone!  Every time a student had trouble you took the time to explain exactly what the mistake was and how to correct it.  You were always patient.  You were conscientious about each person’s needs.  It seemed as if you were able to read minds. You also led the group so that after a very short time we began to develop a strong sense of mutual trust and affinity with each other.   Incredible.  You did a fantastic job. If you ever need a reference as an instructor do not hesitate to ask.

 

By the way I have already recommended you to a couple of other people. – K.G.

 

I wanted to let you know I ABSOLUTLY loved the training course and instruction provided! I came in knowing zero about motorcycles, no previous expirience, not even riding on the back of one. I bought my first bike after the class :) Your instructor Dale is incredible and did a fantastic job teaching! THANK YOU! - E.A.

I just wanted to drop a note and say how pleased I was in taking the "Basic Rider Course" last week at your Las Vegas location. In my opinion it was the best $250.00 I have ever spent. After not being on a bike in over 20 years it not only helped me prepare to be a safe motorcycle driver but a better driver of any vehicle. 

 

Dale the instructor was professional, patient, and handled the school in a very professional manner at all times. 

 

I would recommend this school to anyone even thinking of riding a motorcycle now or in the future. – D.C.

 

I took a class there over this past summer, and everything you guys taught me has still stuck with me. To this day, I still look in the direction of the turn even when I'm driving my truck!  The school's not a place to try to get a license but it's a place that helps the student adapt good riding habits no matter what type of motorcycle they get on.  Thanks for the lessons learned, guys!  I'll be back for the advanced rider's course in the future. - Abe

Dale was AWESOME and I'm not sure I would have made it through the class without him.  Please tell him thank you AGAIN for me.

 

Also, please tell him that when I got home yesterday there was a VStar 650 in the garage for me which I promise not to take on the road without a bunch more practice :-)

 

Thanks so much,

Shelli

 

Hey Doc!

 

Thought you might like to hear the results of the class I took July 28 - 30.  I've been riding my Honda Shadow as much as possible and have put close to 700 miles on her solo.  Well, not quite solo.  I do ride a lot with our Victory club (http://sincityvictoryriders.org./) as well as alot with my boyfriend and mentor, Ron.  But, I do get out all alone from time to time and have ridden to work a few times (live by Sunrise, work by Summerlin).  I even rode with about 400 other riders for the Nellis run a couple of weeks ago.  What a thrill to open her up on the runway as well as to Bike Fest a few times.

 

Loved the class.  Loved my instructors.  We actually have two other members of our club coming out there to take the class over the next couple of months!!!  Oh, and I've joined the PGR.  So, if you see a black 01 Shadow Ace with the plates 1TYRANT on the back, be sure to wave.  :)  Thanks again for everything, I'll be sure to stay in touch as I plan on taking the advanced course.  Take care. – D.D.

 

Just a note to let you know how I enjoyed your school.  I felt very confident when I left the class that I would be able to drive safely and hone the skills that I was taught.  Well done!  I did purchase a motorcycle one day after completing the course.  Good instructors.  I have 2 degrees in education and a training degree from the Air Force, so I was able to recognize that your instructors used sound training methods.  One comment that I did not put on my questionnaire was that I would have loved to have more information about local motorcycle and motorcycle equipment shops in the area.  Again, thanks.  – G.F.

 

I want to thank you and your superb staff for a great course at Nellis AFB last weekend.  Both Jeff and Storm were on target with knowledge and share invaluable experience/tips for everyone in the class.  I've made several recommendations to others about your school/course this week already.  Thanks again! – F.C.

 

To whom it may concern,  I took the advanced class yesterday from Derrick and Dale.  It was one of the best classes I’ve ever taken and I’ve taken a lot of classes for a host of hobbies and for my professional career.  I am so glad I was referred to your company and will make sure I tell every rider I know about your school and the “advanced class”.  I came away being twice the rider and a deeper appreciation for riding, my skills and even my attitude toward driving 4 wheeled vehicles.  In closing, please let Dale and Derrick both know how much I appreciate the hard work and effort they put into the class…it showed!!! . – M.D.

 

Hello. I just completed the BRC class  with instructors Stormy and Dale. I can not believe how much I learned in the class and on the course. In the class room it was 12 students and 1 instructor (Stormy) not only was every bit of information in the book covered extensively,  if anyone had questions that were not brought up in the book it was discussed also. Out on the course there were 2 instructors they showed us how to do each maneuver correctly then let us ride the course and explained to us what we were doing wrong and how to correct it. As I listened to both instructors and began correcting my mistakes the course became easier to complete. Even though there were 12 students on the course at the same time it felt more of a 1 on 1 basis as the instructors not only controlled the complete course, they had time to talk to each student and teach you how to improve your individual skills.  When the final ride test came up I was the first to go and I was nervous. I ran the course using everything they taught me the last few days and I passed that test. A test that I would have never been able to pass without  \the knowledge I learned in this class. So Stormy and Dale I thank you for a great class as it was both a pleasure and a honor to attend it. – D.K.

 

Hi, I just completed your class this past weekend. I originally signed up for this class because I heard if you complete it you do not have to take the test at the DMV.  Since I am not an experienced rider I figured if I could squeeze by this class I could skip the test.  Now I know I can pass the test if I have to!  My instructors were Stormy and Jeff.  The first thing I want to say is both of these instructors were very friendly and interactive with the class.  Their knowledge and experience made the class extremely enjoyable which made it much easier to learn.  One of my biggest fears while riding has been making U-turns.  With their coaching I was able to easily master this maneuver along with all the other techniques.  I cannot begin to tell you just how much I learned.  I think every motorcyclist should have to take this class before they get their license.  You have 2 excellent instructors and I will recommend this class to everyone I know.  It is refreshing to attend a class where the instructors are as excited about teaching as the students are about learning. Keep up the good work. – R.S.

 

p.s. I still am amazed at how much turning your head helps to control your motorcycle!

 

Hi!  I wanted to send you a big THANK YOU for the outstanding time I had during your BRC.  Having never ridden before, I must admit that I was a bit intimidated with the thought of learning to ride a motorcycle.  But, your expert instructors (along with the very informative/patient/entertaining student instructors) made me feel at home on a bike in no time.  It was a great class and I look forward to returning in 6 months or so for the ERC.

 

I also took Stormy's advice and purchased a bike as soon as possible.  :-)    I have been putting 10 miles a day on it practicing what I learned and am quickly gaining confidence in traffic.  Thanks again for this new excitement in my life.  I have been telling everyone about how outstanding your class is. – T.M.

 

First of all, I'd like to thank Doc & the powers that be for having a class on Nellis.  That makes life much easier for folks like us.

 

Next, I'd like to say thanks to Storm & Jeff for being very patient with us while we learned some basic skills.  Before taking the BRC, my wife couldn't have told you where a clutch was, much less what it was supposed to be used for.  She learned fast though, and both of us passed the evaluation!  (She's still rubbing it in that she beat me by one point on the riding evaluation.)

 

Over all, its a great program, and we'll look forward to seeing you all again in a year or so when we take the experienced rider course!  For now, it's time to go practice what we've learned. - J.M & B.M

 

P.S.    Sunscreen is your friend, as much as helmets & gear are!

 

I think it would be good for your business if you added a testimonial section.  I was very happy with the training I received and I have many people ask me for your website address/phone number after describing my experience, how much I learned and how reasonable the cost was.  Think about it guys. I'd be happy to post your first one. Thanks again and keep the rubber side down! – J.M.

 

Yesterday, I completed the Basic Rider Course at Nellis AFB. … It was a great course and I'm very happy that I finally took it. It has helped me quit a bit. Now I have to practice and build on what I have learned. The instructors Jeff and Stormy are very knowledgeable and great people. I will recommend your Basic Rider Course to my friends. Again, thank you. – P. G.

 

Hey Doc and Frog!  I took your class last February, and I've been having a blast on my bike ever since.  It's been a very busy year for us, so I've only put 4,500 miles on my bike.  And most of that has just been running my errands around town.  I try to practice as often as possible.  I've been telling everyone who talks about taking a riding course to take yours. The things you two taught me have been invaluable.  Especially that swerve technique - that came in very handy when that guy on Eastern started a left turn just in front of me.  I could tell that he saw the bike in front of me, but didn't see me, so I was ready for it.  From the look on his face, I'd say he had to do some laundry right away.  Anyway, just wanted to say hi and thank you again.  I'll never stop recommending your class! – K. E.

 

I’d be truly remiss if I didn’t send you a note and tell you that I think Nina Lazzeroni and Mark Warren are incredible.  Not only did they coach me to successful completion of the course (which is no small task), I thought they were absolutely marvelous.  You know, one of the courses my company teaches is a course called “train the Trainer,” so at the risk of sounding immodest, I know a few things about teaching, coaching, training and instruction – and they were both top-notch.  Their patience, their diligence, their feedback, their attention – all of it – was fabulous.  The difference between this course and the version I took a year or two ago at CCSN is like night and day.  I thought the other instructors were good; I thought these two were exceptional.  Thanks to you, and to them, for helping me achieve a lifelong dream.  I am over the moon and will continue to diligently practice what they told me. – L.T.

 

Thank you so much for providing the opportunity and instruction that was sorely needed.  I learned so much about myself as a rider and riding in general.  I am still restoring my old Honda CB750 (1972).  I will send y’all a picture when it is finished.  It is basically in good shape, I’m just doing stuff like replacing the tires, mirrors, painting the fairing, and general tune up stuff.  It is a much heavier bike than those that we trained with, but thanks to your expert instruction, I am having a much easier time handling it.  As of today’s date, I have already obtained my license, registration and insurance.  The DMV process was “smooth as peanut butter….not the chunky kind either”   Thanks again guys, I’ll see you on the road! – R. S.

 

I just wanted to send a short note of thanks. I just completed the rider course and wanted to let you know putting all course info aside (which was great by the way).  I wanted to commend   your instructors. Storm and dale not only presented the material well but they are very real and honest, I have been an EMS instructor for the last 18 years and from a teachers point of view they did a great job. Hope to see you in a year for the arc. Thanks again. – R. H.


Hello Doc.  I just finished the BRC over the week end.  Dale and Nina were spectacular; very good instructors.  I have been riding bikes on and off for over 25 years with at least 200,000 miles under my belt and a lot of cross-country.  This course was definitely a great refreshment and has helped me to get rid of few bad habits that I have developed over the years, for example, using all my four fingers to apply the front break instead of the two that I have been using.   Also not to forget to turn my head.  I’m one of those who understand why dogs love to put they head through the window of a moving car.  Great job.  Thank you. – R.K.

 

Hey, I got me a Kawasaki 500 Vulcan and I am whipping around everyday.  Slowly going into traffic like you said.  I always plan my escape from an idiot in a car on the phone.  This bike is much more forgiving.................if I make a small error on a corner I can correct it, where the Sporty put me on my ass.  And of course it doesn’t have the power the Sporty has which is good now.  I make u turns everyday and at least 5 runs in each direction in my housing track if I'm in a hurry.

 

I parked Sporty in the garage and Ed takes her out every week for a run.  I got that clutch thing in and it sure is easier !!!!!!!!!!!!!  I'll worry about her in 6 months or whenever  She's all paid for so it don't matter.  Even if I have to get a 883 one day I will.

 

Thanks for your help and not washing me out and treating me like a piece a shit in class......

I never take my hand off the grip !!!!!!!!!!!!!.....((And I told them at HD, how great your school was compared to them))..........I'll ride up one day at school.  Ed will be back soon for his ERC.  He has over 4000 miles logged now. He ran into rain, hail and bug clouds last week going to Winnemucca.  We love the road like the pitbull. – T. G.

 

It was a great class, and I will be sure to refer you.  I did the smart thing, I bought a Honda Rebel 250.  I already have it registered and have been riding.  It is so much fun.  I am much more comfortable now.  I don't take it in a great deal of traffic.  I have been around the subdivisions where I live and on 95 going up toward Mt. Charleston in the evening when there is really no one on the highway.  I will be back in to take your other course someday. – E.M.

 

You guys are great! I had the best time. The instructors are very knowledgeable and made the course very fun and informative at the same time. I will definitely be back and I have already given your information to a few friends and my father who are all interested in taking the course. The combined knowledge from experienced riders who have faced many situations in their riding careers and the MSF/AMA program is priceless. Again, thank you. – S.H.

 

Hi there. My friend and I attending your school last month, and we'd like to say we had a very great experience. I learned so much, and have been enjoying motorcycling almost everyday. We are both women, and find it so much fun. We both however have learned about "low speed tip-overs, aka....dropping the bike" .....maybe you could incorporate something in the class as to how to properly pick it up after such an incident (which seems to be common among us newbies). Just an idea? – L.S.

 

Great Class, enjoyed the whole thing---you guys know what your doing… – S.R.

 

Thank you so much !!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Eddie got his license yesterday and he is off.  He rides a little everyday to learn more and he is going riding with some friends of yours who have many years experience. – T.R. (Mom passed the class a few weeks later)

 

Again, a very enjoyable class - you guys are the greatest.... – S.C.

 

My son has obtained his Motorcycle Endorsement today, thanks to you and your instructors. I can already tell that he has learned a lot.  He is very excited and will be getting insurance to register his new bike. – M.L.

 

Holly & I are riding, even though I failed, with our husbands and are incorporating all of your teachings.  We are having a great time.  If I have trouble with the DMV, I'll be back for the lesson.  Thanks a lot. – C.M.

 

Thanks, I had a great time in your class. – J.C.

 

Thank you very much, for your help, in getting me back on two wheels! Since getting my license, I quickly found a great deal on a 2003 Honda Shadow Deluxe, American Classic Edition (Ace!) Having a great time showing up my Harley riding buddy! Thanks again, happy new years! – M.W.

 

Hey there Doc, Michelle S. here. Been riding my Sportster and loving it. Thank you for all of your help. I am also using ANPAC for insurance. They have great deals, thank you for everything. Be safe and give my best to your sidekick and wife. – M.S.

 

My name is Sam M., Jr. and my son, Sam III, recently completed the motorcycle school at Nellis AFB.  Mark did a great job with the class and we are totally satisfied with the result. I picked up a used Honda Nighthawk yesterday and I will complete the license process today.  Thanks for your help.  Please tell Mark we think he did a great job and we appreciate his work.  In a few months we will be back for the ERC. – S.M.

 

It was a wonderful experience being in the class for 2 and half days.  I thank you for letting me stay on the first day of class. … Anyway, I had a wonderful time especially on the third day.    On the first day, as much as I want to enjoy the classroom session, I was upset for being late.  The second day was very interesting.  I was nervous as hell!  Too nervous that I had a hard time to do some of the maneuvers.  I had to program my brain to relax, take a deep breath and be confident.  I was insecure.  I was the only woman in the group and the 7 guys already rode bikes before. …  I wanted Frog to know how wonderful he was for an instructor.  Frog was very patient, very consistent, and very thorough.  He coached me and made me understand how to ride smoothly.  He was telling me "relax"  "have fun".  I kept checking with him how I was doing and if I was doing it right.  Can you tell I was insecure?  :) – N.P.

 

I took your class this past weekend, again thank you for a really structured, informative and fun class. – R.F.

 

Thanks for the awesome class last week and I wanted to share my good news with you and Frog!!!!  Here's my baby that I purchased (amazingly) the day we got out of class, Thursday!  Dyna Super Glide...I am in heaven!  Thanks again and keep in touch! – J.P.

Of course, then there’s this one that came via voice mail, “No sense leaving a message; the (explaitive) school won’t return calls."  Never mind that he didn’t leave a phone number (twice) and has a privacy block on his number.  We try hard, but some people are just not happy campers.
