Do I need a motorcycle license or a learners permit to take the class?
You do not need a motorcycle license or permit to take the class but you do need a drivers license or a certificate of completion from driver education.
What if my drivers license is from out of state?
If you do not have a Utah drivers license, you will be charged an additional $70. Military personnel and out-of-state students will not be charged the additional funds.
Do I need my own motorcycle?
We provide you with the motorcycle for the Basic Rider Course. If you are taking the Experienced Rider Course (ERC) the course is taken on your own bike.
Personally owned scooters, up to 350cc, are also welcome in our Basic Rider Course.
Additional arrangements may have to be made to ensure we can accomodate your scooter. more
Will you have a motorcycle to fit me if I'm short?
We have a wide range of bikes with seat heights from very low to fairly tall. We should have a bike to fit the stature of most everybody. If you have a unique build or situation that we should be made aware of, you may want to contact us for more specific information.
What if I have never ridden a motorcycle before?
The Basic Rider Course is designed for the brand new or returning rider. It starts at the very beginning of riding. Starting with the primary controls, the proper starting sequence and continuing with very basic riding skills, such as riding in a straight line, shifting, turning and stopping. And thats just the first day. However, having good balance helps and spending time riding a bicycle before class is beneficial. more
Will I be the only female in class?
No guarantees, but we usually have from 40% - 60% females. We also have several female instructors and occasionally hold ladies only classes.
Will this class make me an expert rider?
Our courses will not make you an "expert" rider. Riding a motorcycle is a life-long learning process. The Basic Rider Course is a good starting point. We also also offer the Experienced Rider Course designed for riders with at least 1000 miles of experience. The Experienced course is a great way to polish and improve your sills. It provids the tools to help achieve excellence.
Which class is best for me, Basic or 
Experienced?
If you have your motorcycle endorsement and at least 1,000 miles of current motorcycle riding experience then the Experienced Rider Course may be your best option. If you don't have either or, simply, not confident in your riding then the Basic Rider Course is probably the most suitable.
We also have private instruction course available if you want or need extra attention or have difficult scheduling challenges. more
Are there alternative schedules if I can't fit any you advertise?
Yes, we offer other schedules when the need arises. They are usually based on season and demand. If your busy schedule prevents you from taking a course during our regularly scheduled times we are very proud to offer the most flexible private lessons in the state. We also have special scheduling for groups.
Will this prepare me for the state motorcycle test?
Successful completion of our Basic Rider Course will likely get the riding portion of the state exam waived. The State Drivers License Division always has the option of requiring the riding portion of the evaluation, although it is rare. You should also read the Utah Motorcycle Operator Handbook before taking the written portion.
Will class be fun?
We hope so! We believe that since motorcycling is fun, the training should be fun too. There can always be a little stress when learning a new skill, but our instructors do all they can to put students at ease and, hopefully, make it an enjoyable experience. We are very proud of having the very best instructors to introduce new riders to one of the most exciting activity we know of.
We strive to make our classes as fun, enjoyable and as informative as possible.
