Called to check availability to put some frame sliders on my bike. Was able to come in last minute and on top of that ended up paying less than initially quoted. Definitely will be coming in again. Thanks Kraze! read more

I found the overall experience, from making contact and booking an appointment, all the way through the day of instruction to be top notch. I have some experience on a motorcycle but it's been 8 years since I've ridden. Steve helped me to refresh my skills and build my confidence to have fun and be safe on an upcoming moto trip. Steve is a superb instructor. He is clear and patient and provides a tailored experience to your needs and skills to get you where you want to be. read more

Steve is incredible. I did a 5 hour private lesson with him and it was invaluable. He taught me critical motorcycle handling skills and we spent time on the road learning strategies to stay safe. I highly recommend Steve to any new rider or anyone who wants to refresh or sharpen their skills. read more

Steve is an exceptional instructor. Not only is he extremely knowledgeable about the craft of motorcycling, and patient with his students, but he is also passionate about the discipline--he loves riding and he's excited to share his passion with the people around him. He is an extremely capable teacher who knows exactly how to guide a student, with the perfect balance of encouragement and constructive feedback. His book (this is not an ad) is also really well-written and beautifully illustrated, and it's a fantastic guide on motorcycle riding. I'd happily recommend his class to anyone! read more

I had so much fun, during this 1 on 1 I think before spending $350 on a outside AmO class, you guys should consider this class first Nothing is better than a head set, a great teacher with patience so many years under his belt. And knowledge . I am ready to pass my dmv test and finally get my license. Will refer to my friends :) I hope to take on more transitional classes One should never stop learning read more

Completed a 5 hour private tuition with Steve this past Sunday prior to a CMSP course on Monday and Tuesday. Despite having ridden daily in London in a past life, my confidence was shaken by a nasty accident and I subsequently hadn't ridden in over 20 years. Steve was fantastic, getting me back on the bike and making sure I had the correct habits and techniques to make sure I was successful on my CMSP course, which I passed with no problems. It was a fun day and the one-on-one tuition helped enormously. I learnt a huge amount over and above what I already knew. Extremely worthwhile. Thanks Steve! read more

Had a great experience with M1! Steve was super friendly and knowledgeable. Definitely recommend especially if you are a complete beginner like me. read more

Very informative with great instruction. The book is a very valuable reference! Thank you for a great experience!

A great one on one personalized motorcycle coarse and training that gets you specifically ready to complete and pass your CA, DMV motorcycle license test. Steve is a patient and knowledgeable instructor. That is willing and available with his time and expertise to answer any questions or concerns you may during the coarse as well as after hours. Extremely appreciative of all the little nuances, ins and outs and bits and bobs of motorcycles that I got learn as a newby rider. read more

I called Steve today looking for private 1-1 training. He was very cooperative and honestly a straight forward guy. Unfortunately it was a little bit over my budget, which is why I didn't go with Steve. But he even gave me some great advice and basic tips. I would recommend this guy to anyone. Like I say for everything you pay for what you get! Thank you for your time Steve! read more

I highly recommend Steve's class. He's a great instructor. He's friendly, kind and clear. I felt like I was in great hands every moment and I learned a ton. I also opted for the driver's test assistance and it was well worth. Wouldn't have passed without him. Wouldn't feel as good or confident on a bike without him. read more

This review is long overdue, but thanks to Steve, i am now a regular motorcycle rider. He helped me learn to ride from scratch, walked me through the process to buy a bike, giving me suggestions and advice as i endlessly peppered him with questions, and taught me everything I know. Thanks to him, I truly feel safe on the road and use everything he taught me on a weekly basis. Safety is paramount to me, and Steve made me feel confident on a bike. I took the CHP MSF course following Steve's instruction and have to say it was incomparable to his hands on instruction and care. Steve's course was so great I gifted a class to a friend. Thank you Steve for making me a rockstar rider! read more

Got this class for my birthday. Been dying to do it. Can honestly say Steve was born to teach. Fantastic teacher, and just a great guy. We had fun all day while learning all the details at the same time. He went through everything from bike off standing to riding and even the dreaded - shifting! Even rode the faux-test track at the end. I am going to continue with him and hopefully he will help be my bike Sherpa for years to come. An amazing experience. read more

Great place to go for an introduction to motorcycling. I had a blast and felt comfortable from the get go. The one on one instruction was very valuable for preparing me to take a licensing course with many other people. Without this starter lesson I don't think I would have been as confident or prepared for taking that course. So thankful! read more

Steve is the man. Incremental and Comprehensive class, totally recommend. Beautiful 650cc bike to ride on, just what I needed after completing the MSF. read more

Great instructors, nice and clean bikes to ride overall great experience and I will be taking a advice course from them

I am so late in writing this - but I would give it more stars if I could. I purchased a Vespa thinking it would be just jump on and start driving. I had it for weeks before I found M1 Class and had a four hour class with Steve. He is so relaxed and calm I didn't realize I was actually getting used to driving and turning and stopping. I drive the Vespa all the time now and still can hear his voice when I'm going to make a turn or slow at a stop sign. Which actually makes me laugh and then I remember I need to write a yelp review. I was so nervous before but now really enjoy riding my little Vespa around and can not recommend M1 enough. I completely think his calm demeanour got me to relax and enjoy riding. I hardly ever write Yelp reviews but this class helped me so much! Thank you Steve! read more

I had such an amazing time with steve. Being a small frame guy i was always worried/nervous/scared about riding a heavy motorcycle. But steve helped me build confidence & trust while riding. He made the lessons very digestible and always went at my pace. We spent more time on things I needed help with, while moving along with things I was better at to maximize my session. This is just something you only get with a 1 on 1 class. This should be every new riders first stop before they hit the open road. read more

Steve is awesome! The private class was convenient to my busy schedule and just what I needed to be prepared for the DMV tests. Steve is very knowledgeable, patient and safe. He's also fun! I used the concierge service which provided a bike on the day of the driving test, and passed on my first try. Thanks Steve! read more

The instructor was extremely knowledgeable and covered an extensive amount of information at just the right pace.If you're looking for one on one training from a professional with an obvious passion for what he does then you should definitely give Steve at M1 a call. read more

This is as good as a motorcycle class can get. Steve is extremely patient and encouraging. I have no idea how to ride a motorcycle and within 5 hours I've learned the basics!! read more

Steve is the BEST! I took the MSF course last year but still have anxiety riding around the streets. The second I arrived to class on my little scooter and failed at U-turning, he knew what I had to start working on. We did both motorcycle and scooter exercises around a private lot. He provided a smaller older-model 125cc Suzuki for the motorcycle exercises (there is also a larger bike available), which was very comfortable to use--I'm only 5'2". The training was at my pace and I always felt comfortable. Because I plan on primarily commuting on two wheels, we focused more on slow speed control. The personalized, bluetooth instruction helps you fix what you're doing wrong as soon as you're doing it. Steve is the perfect instructor, friendly and never made me feel nervous or inadequate. He will tailor the training to what you want to work on and your skill level as a rider. Move over, Motorman! Also... don't forget to bring WATER! read more

Don't hesitate. Steve "IS" the choice. This training is essential for new riders, anyone who's ridden without training, or anyone looking to build upon their existing skillset. The one-on-one format shortens your learning curve. Your confidence and command of your riding ability will increase dramatically. Steve provides the bike(s), provides any equipment, and ensures your lesson is safe and instructive. He meets you at the DMV for your driver test with the bike. And he is a super good dude. Very patient, highly organized, well-prepared and safety-minded. Couldn't provide a stronger recommendation. read more

Steve is awesome! I had taken a riding course in a group setting and was really discouraged and kinda of thought riding wasn't for me. I'm not a terribly coordinated person. I also discovered that I don't learn well in a group environment and I couldn't get constructive corrections that I needed. I really really want to ride with my dad someday. So I found private lessons. I am super happy that I did. In a couple of hours with Steve and his Zen like calming manner, Bluetooth helmet instruction, and encouraging high fives, I was able to make it through the things I didn't understand from the other class I took. Not once did I feel talked down to but only felt encouragement and good vibes. If you want to ride... Steve is your guy. Can't wait to do the transition training with him. read more

"Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Riding," is what this course should be called. Steve is the master to us grasshoppers. Earlier in the year, I had taken another motorcycle safety class, which was fine for the basics and got this gal her M1 license. As life would have it, I was in an accident (NOT motorcyle-related) that had my off my sweet Guzzi for six months. That sweet girl sat outside my window taunting me. I was afraid to get back on. By chance we found Steve set up in the Rose Bowl. What a fortuitous day! I signed up for a 5-hour refresher, and he got me right back on, learning SO very much more than I had ever known. I'm not kidding, he really is the zen-master of motorcycle instructors, teaching how to view the surrounding environs, how to hold positions. I highly, HIGHLY recommend him! read more

Steve is a great guy ! i do recommend giving him a call and speaking to him personally. He's very adjusting and an over all great personality. Did a weekend, straight 5 hour course with me and got me to learn most of all the important stuff when it comes to riding ! Thanks once again steve ! read more

He was an excellent teacher within the 2 hours of my lesson. The bike he brings is the same one I rode on the msf course. Takes his time to make sure you get the basics down so you can pass your test read more

I can't recommend Class:M1 enough! Steve is a fantastic instructor and made what I was honestly dreading a really fun and rewarding experience! My husband will be getting a scooter for his daily work commute and I figured I should know how to operate it too, so we signed up for the Scooter +1 class with Steve. He's a great instructor! So patient and calm and does a great job at helping you build confidence on the bike! By the end, both of us were expertly navigating the tiny circle needed to pass the DMV skills test! Steve was prompt at returning my initial call and communication with him was so easy. He provided all the gear we needed for the class and spent time with us after our class making recommendations on places to look for a scooter and the type of gear we should get. We're looking forward to seeing him at our DMV skills test soon and he'll be the first person we call in the future when we are looking to improve our skills. read more

Had a great time during the class with Steve. In between very informative explanation and on-the-bike training, he helped recommend some bikes and stores that I should look into for the type of bike I had in mind. Very safety focused, a nice big private practice space, everything was very comfortable. read more

Friendly instruction with no pretense. Steve provides a nice small older model Suzuki 125cc for instruction. The Bluetooth in-helmet audio was helpful for the instruction. If you want to train in a larger bike you'll need to supply your own or rent, or conversely go to another instructor providing larger bikes. Though it was a little on the higher priced end of instruction, it was good for folks looking for a friendly intro or getting back into riding where safety is the top concern. read more

If your looking for a motorcycle beginners course I would recommend this one. Steve is a great teacher and was patient with me, even though I did mess up on some things. He talked me through it and showed me how to do it again and also answered all my questions I had regarding safety & what bike would be best for me. Thanks Steve for the great class I appreciate everything you did for me to gain confidence in riding a motorcycle. read more

Steve is the man!! I came to him to gain confidence and skills to be a better, safer rider. That is exactly what happened. I left the range with knowledge of my bike and cofidenece to tackle the open road. I would recommend this course to any new rider to become totally acquainted with their machine. read more

A couple of days ago I had the motorcycle skills test. I passed on the first try. This is because of Steve and his easy-to-control motorcycle. He knows everything about how to ride and how to pass the test easy. Thank you so much Steve! read more
