I just want to say thank you so much for getting me into this class! I can not stress it enough about how the instructors were great! Both Mark and Miles are awesome instructors and they definitely care and give feedback on the spot. Again, thank you Gerard for letting me join this class!
Thanks.

Gerard, thanks again… the class was wonderful.
It was well worth the investment of $250. I gained a lot of insight into motorcycle safety; reinforced skills that I haven’t used in decades; and, more importantly, my two instructors (Mark and Miles) helped me build that critical component called confidence.
I would highly recommend the course work to anyone in my age bracket who wants to return to the world of two wheels.
Best of luck and continued success with your great curriculum and excellent staff.

This course was phenomenal! Mark Wing was my classroom Ridercoach and my rider coach for Saturday and Sunday. Not only was he very knowledgeable and personable but he has excellent teaching skills as well. He had the entire class involved in the materials and participating.
Rocky Fagurdes was my RC on Saturday and Paul Herbert was my RC on Sunday. They were all so encouraging and patient with the entire class.
I am a 46 year old male, I haven't ridden a motorcycle since I was a teenager and that was mostly dirt bikes. I wanted to learn about street riding, that is why I signed up for the class. But I learned so much more and the confidence I gained by the end of the class was beyond my expectations.
I can't wait to get my bike and start riding now.
I will definitely recommend this class to anyone who is considering a motorcycle.
Thank you for the wonderful program you have put together.

I was thoroughly satisfied with my experience. The classroom was comprehensive and the weekend sessions informative and motivational. My initial reaction to the idea of 5 hours on a bike was it may be too long to hold my attention but I found the opposite to be the case. At the end of the first session I didn't want to get off the bike and was eager to return for the next day.
The Rider Coaches; Mike, Rocky, and Paul were excellent. I cannot praise their efforts highly enough. Their explanations and demonstrations were concise and informative, and their advice positive and productive. They answered questions during designated breaks and were willing to impart their knowledge in regard to whatever query we had. Their enthusiasm was contagious and I left with a much higher degree of confidence about my decision to learn to ride.
The most important aspect I garnered from the course was a clearer sense of the fundamentals. All the skill sets taught were practical and replicable and I look forward to developing my familiarity with them. I was surprised by the degree of improvement I felt by the end of the Sunday session. It was a collection of little things that added up to a greater sense of control of the motor bike.
The only idea I could conjure to improve the experience would have been an extra session at the end, for anyone who might want to run some of the exercises with fewer participants on the track. It may offer those prepared to stay some practice time with a little more room to move. Unfortunately I didn't think of it until I was in the car half way home or I would have raised the idea with Mike and Rocky at the end of the Saturday session. It would have been nice to run some the exercises with a shorter wait between attempts.
I don't think anyone should be allowed on the roads in California on a motorbike, until they have done your course. Thanks again.

I have had motorcycle experience prior to taking this course, and I HIGHLY recommend everyone take the course regardless of skills. The course teaches A to Z about riding so you can ride with confidence. Even if you are lucky enough to pass the DMV riding test the course offered by Bikesmart is still worth while. My wife and I had a great time and experience thanks to Mark and Rocky's patient teaching style and John's recommendations. Excellent class well worth the time and money spent!!!

Classes rock here. Thanks a bunch Mark and Rocky. You guys always told us what we could improve on and the fact that you both were some of the nicest guys Ive ever met didnt hurt. Thanks for showing me how to properly take a curve and downshift while doing a quick brake. I know the stuff you taught me will most likely save my life a bunch of times. $250 is money well spent for the information I gained from taking this course. A+.

I finished the Basic Rider Course in San Jose and I have to say it
is an excellent, top-knotch, over-the-top program. From the class to the
range, I learned a lot about motorcycle safety and the proper handling and
driving of a motorcycle (all that in 3 days)! The instructors are great:
constantly giving encouraging feedback, giving general to specific on-street
scenario instruction, and taking the time to explain what kind of motorcycle
would best fit you. I would highly, highly recommend this course to absolute
beginners and past experienced riders. Knowledgeable instructions combined
with a great motorcycle experience, you just can't lose! (once again, huge
thanks to the instructors, especially Mark, whom helped me stay in the same
day course when the website didn't completely register me. Thanks Mark!)

I have to say that this course was awesome. I have been riding for a while now and I still learned alot. My instructors were very friendly and very knowledgeable. I have a couple bad habits that I learned about and can now work on correcting. Honestly I have already recommended this course to many people. I know that I now have a better chance on the road out there because I feel more comfortable on the bike. I fully endorse this course but if anyone needs to take it I would go so far as to recommend the South San Francisco class because the instructors were just awesome. Thank you again Guys!!!

I thoroughly enjoyed everything I learned in class. The instructors and driving coaches were great and very patient. There was a lot of hands on experience which was very enjoyable and necessary. I have been riding a motor scooter since 03/08 but to actually ride a motorcycle was even more fun. However, I do feel I could have benefited from more riding than just the 10 hours that were provided. It seems we would just learn a task and it was time to move on to the next task. The learning was at a good pace, it just would have been nice to practice a little more. I think maybe an extra hour or so per day would have been great.

Being an unexperienced rider, I was very nervous walking into class. Being a girl added more to the pressure. Paul and Gerard were excellent Ridercoaches. They were very patient, encouraging and knowledgeable . The program was well planned and executed with ease. I learned a lot from the exercises and wished we could go on and on for a few more hours.

Course was a very good basic course for both first time drivers, and drivers that had some limited prior experience. We all learned a great deal in the exercises, and the interaction with the ridercoaches. I cannot stress enough that new bike riders should take a training course. The video and reading material educate a novice in areas that are not normally available outside of a classroom. The limited riding sessions are there to prepare you for the most common skills needed to develop and continue to practice after taking the class. Well recommended if you want to start out to be a safe rider. The coaches were fantastic.

I have been riding Motorcycles for 28 years and I learned several new things just from taking the basic course. I have been using the things I learned everyday i have ridden my Gold Wing since then. It makes a difference in the comfort level I feel riding again after not riding for the past 6 years.

I just completed the Basic Rider Course as an experienced rider. I found the Rider Coaches, (Mark & John) were very knowledgable and confidence inspiring. The material could be very cut & dry, but Mark made the classroom session interesting by bringing all the students into the discussions and injecting humor and a atmosphere that was condusive to learning. The range exercises, even as en experienced rider, allowed me to freshen up my skills and refine some bad habits. John also gave good corrections and explanations throughout the training exercises. There was a good difference in coaching styles between the two coaches. It kept the training upbeat and interesting.
Yes, there's nothing like practice, practice, practice to hone the necessaryskills needed to ride a motorcycle. I would definately recommend this program and the Bikesmart Coaches to any beginning or experienced riders to develope or refine their skills.

Just wanted to say that the course I took Oct 26 -28-29 was fantastic. Rick, Mark, and Chris are excellent instructors. They make sure you fully understand how to operate your bike in each exercise before moving you on to the next exercise.
I have much better skills than I had prior to the course and would recommend it to any person who is currently a new rider.
In fact one came in handy the other day as I went to make a right turn. As I slowed down to make a turn I went to down shift and my tow shifter was gone (unbolted somehow and fell off. No problem I just slowed enought for the curve (I have been in 3rd)and gave it extra throtle so that the engine didn't lug and went thru the tight turn. I was able to limp it home from there.
I plan on coming back for the advanced course next year.
And Brian does a great job putting on the classroom portion of the course too!

I thought I would drop a note to you to applaud the training course. I had very low expectations going into the course and was primarily interested in getting a waiver for the DMV road test (my motorcycle license lapsed when I moved to CA 10 years ago) and to get a discount on my insurance. I was pleasantly surprised that I actually learned quite a bit! First, I would really like to compliment Mark. He did the classroom training and worked both range classes. He is absolutely excellent. He was very serious about the instruction, but in a very relaxed way. He is very friendly, approachable and respectful. His instruction was very clear without being pedantic. Mark is just a super guy. He was joined by Kevin for the second range class. Kevin was also an excellent instructor. He was quick to point out areas for improvement without doing it in a condescending way. Both guys really know their stuff.
I should also add the course design is obviously very well thought out andthe execution was very well organized. All in all a very positiveexperience.

Mark and Kevin were great in teaching this class. I have been around and rode motorcycles my whole life, Im 29. I was happy to have learned some better ways to safely motorcycle. I was more than happy with the instructions given and the feedback received in the course. I was skeptical if I was gonna really learn anything in this course given that i have rode before, but i happily did. I kid you not...some of the stuff I learned in class saved my rear end within a half hour after leaving class.
The training for changing lanes...doing the head check saved me and also the proper braking taught saved me when I had to make a sudden stop at a light. Keep those guys in the course....they were great!!!

Awesome experience! All my fellow riders recommended this class and I agree. I had some riding experience compared to most in my class but still got a lot out of the class. The instructors were great. No one made anyone feel inferior. They demonstated every thing you needed to do before hand which was very helpful. All 5 instuctors I had during the 3 day class were exceptional and professional. If I was a beginner and going to take the class looking back now, I would read up on the D.M.V. handbook before class just to have a heads up. Especially for the class work there is a lot to take in in a short amount of time. They put you in groups but not all study well in groups. The test comes fast at the end of the night. Any extra studying will give you an added boost. Thats just my opinion. Videos that were shown were very informative. Its always nice to see things in action rather than just in a book.
It was well worth the money. Thanks for the great experience.

Great course! Thank you all.
Only feedback is this, speedometer didn't work on bike so I didn't know my speed in the test. That cost me the only 3 pts I lost. Other than that, excellent use of time and resources!
Thanks again!!!!

Thanks for the feedback and for bringing the maintenance issue to our attention. While we strive to keep the bikes maintained, faults do occur. We are currently in the process of replacing the older bikes.

This course was by far one of the most helpful classes I have ever taken. Both Adam and Mark were excellent teachers that really cared about everyone. I would highly recommend this class to any beginner or even experienced motorcyclist. This class covers it all for both skill and knowledge of the motorcycle. Again its been a pleasure and thank you for the skill and knowledge I have obtained from taking this course.

The course was very helpful in terms of knowing the theory behind a lot of traffic situations. The instructors were wonderful and also professional in their approach. Overall I enjoyed the 3 day course and would definitely recommend to anyone who want to get on the road and ride.
Remember it is better to be SAFE than to be SORRY!
