    My experience was great and I think the instructors were phenomenal. Dave A and Seth did a great job conveying the information and making sure we applied everything that was taught. I will let anyone I know that wants to go through the course to go to Riverside Harley-Davidson especially since we are able to go back when there is room available to practice at no additional charge.

    Second time in three years that I took a motorcycle safety course.

    So I already passed my MSF course and obtained my class m license in Chicago, but because of the pandemic I couldn't practice more until I was ready to by a bike and then the winter came. I moved to Cali in 2021 and I was ready to work on buying a bike this year. I've been researching on bikes and riding safely for three years now, but actually practicing on a bike is more beneficial than just reading. That's the reason why I wanted to take this class and this was the closest location to me and fit my schedule. The people in the Harley dealership are really nice and welcoming in a natural way so I was already considering this to be the place I'll go to buy my bike. After the class Dave and Brian really solidified that feeling. These two are hilariously great together and brought so much knowledge that improved my knowledge. Every time I messed up they would tell me what I messed up on and how to improve it and they seen the progress I made for the entire class session. The class only has 8 people and I felt this was a perfect balance to give me and everyone an equal chance of correcting and one on one time. Lastly, my helmet was too small and gave me a headache during the entire course and my riding boot kept getting stuck when I needed to shift. I expressed this to Brian and he recommended me to check out the helmets and shoes at the dealership. Boy did this improved my skills and confidence out on the bike by A LOT! So much so that Brian noticed the improved and we joked a lot about it. I will be returning back to the place and practice with Brian, Dave, and hopefully Sherri! I'm glad I found this place and I feel it was worth the driving distance from Lake Forest!

    Great classes held by knowledgeable instructors. Dave and Paul are great teachers with a lot of riding experience under their belt. (I heard Paul even did the iron butt challenge of riding from Mexico to Canada.) I signed up online through Riverside Harley. Easy and quick. Make sure to get your rest for the early morning classes, 7am comes around quick. The staff at the dealership is great, look through their clearance section for gear if it's your first time. Riding was great especially since the bikes are pretty new (sport 500's). Small bikes but great to learn on for all sizes. I'm 6ft 300lb and my father in laws fiancé was there taking the class and she's around 5'5 130lb, bikes fit us both great for the class. Take your time, be open to learning and criticism, most of all have fun! I was lucky enough to ride with a few veterans and made some friends! This was the entry level class, I'm hoping to take the advanced class in 2020. I'll update the review then. Thank you again Paul and Dave!

    I would really recommend this course if you want to learn how to ride a motorcycle. The instructors Brain (Manager), Dan, Ian and Paul are all great! I'm 61 and wanted to learn how to ride and I am not really a fast learner. I did not pass my first time taking the skills test, because I was really nervous and needed more practice. The good thing with this course is that you can retake it again for free. So I did the 2 days of riding again and passed. If this old guy can do it you can to. Just don't give up because everyone learns at a different pace. The instructors will help you in anyway for you to get better and to learn how to ride safely. A day after I took my DMV test and passed. Hope this helps anyone thinking about riding. Oh one last tip, like me I did not even ride a bike for over 35 yrs. So I would recommend you practice riding a bicycle to learn how to balance again it really helps.

    I recommend the Riding Academy to anybody interested in riding motorcycles. I was intimidated about going to a riding course because of the horror stories I've been told, but my instructors Paul and Dan were awesome. They taught the class effectively while keeping it fun and interesting. Brian made registering for the class easy. They set you up for success. I can't thank them enough for making me confident with my newly acquired skills!

    I Did It!!!! So can you

    I've never rode a motorcycle before and getting my M1 license was on my list of 2021 goals for the year. I was referred to the Riverside HD riding academy and hands down the best decision I've made. Both Ian Meyer & Brian Habegger were GREAT!! Very knowledgeable, patient with the different levels of riders, and hilariously funny. I recommend taking the course with these 2 fellas. If you have been riding forever or maybe a newbie like myself this program is Fantastic. Thank you
