I took the basic riding course to earn my motorcycle endorsement for my drivers license. The skills we must acquire to pass are challenging, however Faisal my instructor is a Jedi of teaching techniques to fast track you to gaining those skills to pass! I highly recommend this company and instructor! I gained my endorsement today and couldn't be happier! read more

T3RG Motorcycle Schools - Driving Schools Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

They cancelled the class two days before the date scheduled. Didn't apologize for cancelling the class then Colleen was rude on the phone about it when I called to reschedule. I had a second class scheduled then they changed the date on that one last minute as well. Communication about the classes and taking the nessasary tests on line was terrible!!! All communications were terrible. Instructor was good and class was good once it finally happened. Do your self a favor and go to another company. read more

I highly recommend the Top Gun course with Tony! I got my M endorsement two years ago and was wanting to brush up on my skills. I signed up for the Level 1 and Level 2 courses on back-to-back days. Colleen was super helpful in the registration process and in responding to my questions. This course was a game-changer for my confidence as a rider. Tony was super knowledgeable without being cocky and incredibly helpful in his feedback without being judgmental. Right off the bat my nerves were calmed with his easy going nature. The class ran at the perfect speed. If we picked up on a drill quickly, we moved on to the next one. When we needed more time practicing a pattern he allowed for extra time to run through it. He made it clear from the beginning that he wasn't going to make us better riders, but rather give us the tools and knowledge to put into use. Overall, it was a well-done course, definitely worth the money! Looking forward to taking the next level Top Gun Course. read more

T3RG Motorcycle Schools - . - Driving Schools Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

This was the worst experience in a course that I could imagine. While I was initially registering for the class with Colleen (The president of t3rg) I disclosed to Colleen that I had a valid ID card but I am elidgeable for a driver license, I just have to go to the DMV. I wanted to go through the motorcycle course first so I could get the paper endorsement. That way I wouldn't have to make two trips to the DMV. Colleen stated (your ID card will be fine for the course as long as it has the same ID# that was on your license). Colleen even got off the phone with me to make a call so she could ensure that I would be eligible. She called me back and said there won't be any problems with my ID card. So I paid the $350, took the online course which is 3-5 hours as well as a zoom class. I live far in the mountains with no bus routes to transport me to the range for the 2-day ride course which starts at 7:00am. I had to rent a hotel so I could be close to the location and not be late. I was on time and took the written test which I passed. We started doing light motorcycle excercisis and I was pulled out of class by an instructor and told me because of having an ID card not a license I could not participate in the course. The class alone is $350 plus the $250 hotel I purchased for 2 night non-refundable. So Colleen whom is supposed to be the (so called) president of this t3rg course isn't even familiar with her own rules and regulations for her students and giving false information to customers. She at least refunded me the $350 but would not help reemburse me for my hotel costs. Which I think is unfair because the only reason I got this hotel was based on the misinformation that Colleen had given me. So that's why I wouldn't recommend this class in the slightest. Do you want to be a part of a program that the president doesn't even know her own basic material and passes BS information to students causing situations like. I called Colleen wanting to take my grievance to a higher level but being the president she has no oversight and cannot be reprimanded. So for all the loss of money, e classes, and zoom, all I got was a real barely amicable apology and a refund. So of you decide for some reason you want to take this course please do your own research on all the rules and regulations pertaining to your situation or you may have a similar fate mine and have an instructor talk out there ass P.S. the bearded heavier set instructor with the large man boobs (you can't miss them) came off as a total jerk. He addressed the class like he was some high and mighty drill sergeant. I realize safety is of the utmost importance but should be handled with diplomacy and respect. This is a basic riding course for beginners not the military and his abrasive, cocky demeanor was unnecessary, as well as not condusive to a healthy learning environment. Enjoy your cheese burger fatso I may not have a license but what I can do see my dick in the shower can you? Don't you lie to your self Mr Mcfaterson god is watching probably been a while huh ,which is probably why your such an A hole. On a real note Mr Mcfaterson really should consider a different job, like a truck driver or something so he doesn't bother people and he can just devour 4 plates of biscuits and gravy at a truck stop. At least he would be suplying infrastructure instead of being a shitty teacher. T The thin older instructor with the gray hair is the only saving grace to your entire program he was a very knowledgeable nice guy able to give pertinent information but talk to people as an equal human being. So thank you good sir, your kindness was the only positive t,,,,hing that happened to me today. I wish you nothing but the best. I know nothing will ever come of this grievence. I can almost guarantee Colleen might read a second of it then delete it right in the circular file. As president she doesn't want to take responsibility for this or put her self in a bad light. Like usual it's the nice guys that get fucked. But sometimes nice guys get pushed to far. I give this class 1 star 3-middle fingers and 2- poops. Don't think I forgot about you Mr Mcfaterson. This should tied you over maybe. Please refrain from licking the screen. Unless it's over the poops read more

I took the Basic Rider Course with T3RG a couple of years ago and highly recommend them for any new rider looking to get their motorcycle endorsement or learn how to ride a scooter. It's a fairly intense weekend, 15 hours over two days, some classroom, a lot of riding. The coaches are super dooper, with a positive and professional attitude. They provide you with a motorcycle (250 ccs) and a helmet. Even if you've never sat on a motorcycle before, you'll be riding by the end. They give you the test, and you just have to take proof to the DMV for your shiny new "M" on your license! Even though their address is on north Federal, they give classes all over the metro area. See their website to find the one closest to you. I can't wait to take their experienced rider class! (They told me I'd have to make turns one handed, and swerve! Eeks!) read more

All 1 star reviews are accurate. Do not recommend even to my worst enemy! Take your money, reschedule 5 times in a row and refused my cancellation request. Yes your bank will give you money back but I can't believe these garbage human beings exist! read more

Oh boy, I could go all day about the owner Colleen. Look past the few good reviews. Get to the good stuff. Myself, my oldest and my second oldest went here. The second oldest had the absolute worst experience! Save yourself $350 and the 3 months waiting for a refund from your credit card company. Find another company. Yes, drive further to a better company. I can't stress this enough. She is running this company directly into the dirt. Get into a tiff with her and find out what she is. You have been warned. She went as far as to end my 20 years of shopping at Fay Meyers for a family of 6. I refuse to do business with Fay Meyers because they back her in her failing business. read more

The Instructor Mr. Brian was total professional and i learnt some invaluable lessons. I've riding from the 70's and I "Thought" I knew how to ride. Now I know there is so much more to riding and i alraedy feel safer on the road from all the good things I have learned. I will recommend T3RG to all my friends or anyone who wants to learn how to ride the safe and correct way. Thanks Mr. Brian! John Paul "The Jamaican Rider" read more

Great experience. Instructor Faisal is an excellent leader and provided a safe, supportive learning environment. Proud to be one of his students read more

Great experience. My daughter and I completed the basic rider course this weekend. While the website to register left me with a few questions, Colleen was extremely responsive and helpful. The online and zoom group discussion was informative and well laid out. Then came the tough part...me riding a motorcycle. My anticipation was that no one would be able to make this happen but Faisal our riding coach was patient, informative and awesome. After two days of learning from him I am excited to begin riding. This course was not intended to make me an expert but I sure feel more comfortable on a bike. Looking forward to more training with this organization. read more

This company took my money over the phone for a class 4 days prior. On the day of the class i called them and informed them I was running behind 10 minutes due to factors beyond my control. They then told me I could come in or reschedule for another class at no extra charge. They said would call me immediately after the class that day to reschedule. I was not a "no show" I didn't recieve a call so I called them after a bit of phone tag, I got in touch with colleen boyle who basically tried to tell me my money was forfeited and to pay again. She in fact told me that they do not ever lose chargebacks and to dispute it with the credit card company if I desired. I know I'm not the first person the have ripped off but I would like to be the last. read more

These clowns are the biggest ripoff in town. They basically set up this business to rob people of there money. I have spoken to numerous people that this company has tooken money from. THEY HAVE ALL SAID THE SAME THING. T3rg thinks that they can just take your money and give you nothing in return they have a no return clause so as soon as you sign up for the class even if it is 2 months before which it is because there classes are usually "filled" they keep your money will not return it for any reason. That's 335$ down the drain I don't know how these crooks colleen dave jesse or any other employees can think that this is ok but it is not and I will get my money back from you. read more

Took the class a few weeks ago and it was the best thing I ever did. The instructors were very knowledgeable, and you could tell have been riding a long time. I still hear my instructor's voice in my head telling me to look up. The class had many skill levels, yet they gave great feedback to improve all riders. I would recommend to any new rider. read more

T3RG terms and conditions regarding class cancellation. Class changes with more than 24 hours' notice will be made gladly with no charge. Class changes with less than 24 hours' notice may not be possible. No refunds. T3RG canceled my class with LESS THEN 24 hours and as such I could not reschedule that time off and cannot take the class. Regardless of the stipulated 24 hours notice T3RG will not refund your money. They will break their own terms and conditions and them require you respect the NO REFUNDS portion. This is extremely unprofessional, dishonest, and scummy. Way to go T3RG, you've successfully stolen $320. I found another motorcycle class in the area for $200 before the discount they gave me after telling them about your practices read more

If there was a 0 rating I would totally give it. This is based fully on customer service. We had a class scheduled for July 30th/31st. They literally emailed us or me at 3:43PM the day before the class and cancelled saying they were inspected at Rangeview and their range was found to have several missing markings. They had been shut down until it can be corrected. They were waiting to receive their report to understand more fully what they will do to correct the situation. Stating they were unable to offer classes at this location until they had been inspected again and the corrections had been made. I have not been contacted but continue to see classes being offered at the Rangeview Range and they are FULL! So tell me how I have received no phone call, no email. I have tried to contact them via phone and email without a response. So since services have not been rendered I am charging this back. What a joke. I am thoroughly disappointed in their lack of customer service. How do you cancel the day before and leave people hanging for nearly 4 weeks while other classes on their web site are still being filled at this location? It took 4 weeks just to get in a class! You know what, book at your own risk! All these people who gave a 1 rating were right. I'm done and will not recommend this. You're better off getting your permit, learning how to ride with others, and taking the test somewhere for $50, thus saving $300! This is not worth it. read more

I am so disappointed in this company. Their website is not well made at all. I deal with technology and websites on a daily basis and I found their site hard to navigate. Scheduling a class is way harder than it needs to be. As a gift for my husband for Christmas I signed him up for the basic rider two course so he could get his motorcycle endorsement. He has ridden dirt bikes for years so he did not need the basic 1 course that is a two day class. He just needed a motorcycle refresher and test for the license. What they do not tell you and is not made very clear on their website is you MUST have your own motorcycle for this class. Meaning you must buy or rent a motorcycle and ride it to their class without a license. They even indicate on their class page that this is for riders with experience to "get legal." When we called them about this they literally laughed at us and told us there was nothing they could do and that we would absolutely not see our money back. So that's $195 they have of ours that we are getting nothing for and are not going to see again despite that they did not provide us any goods or services. In short, they are crooks and do not seem to care about their customers one bit, (let alone the state laws.) Steer clear! read more

I paid for my son 17 years old to assist in his licensing. Upon finishing class he was informed the training wouldn't work for a license. We called T3RG and they seemed unaware. Next dmv issued a permit and he rode all year 6500 miles after the class on a permit. Now he is 18 but their card expired and once again it's useless, can't get his license. t3rg was very mis informed. read more

When you sign up here you will be required to perform "homework".. It is a well written book with questions at the back. Upon arrival at the class our instructor Michael met us and took us to a classroom at Range-View High School. Michael had a class of 8 of all different skill levels. Over the course he did a great job of making sure we all understood all facets of the exercise. I personally also appreciate the fact that T3RG isn't a license factory.... just because you pay the money doesn't mean you are going to pass. This gave me confidence that they are turning out people that will be able to navigate the road. Thank you Michael and T3RG. Mark Allen read more

Setting aside any refund/reschedule issues, this was a solid and well delivered Basic Rider course, with updated procedures for COVID - the classroom session was delivered over video-conferencing and was engaging and interactive. The range sessions were safety-focused and well presented by Bryan Lape, he did a great job in all situations, decent quality bikes. Enjoyed the classmates, passed the course and would highly recommend Bryan as an instructor, I would suggest setting up some shade on the range if possible, otherwise happy with the value and quality. read more

Two years later and I now understand why they spent so much time working on slow speed maneuvering. Riding a motorcycle on the open road is relatively simple. Maneuvering around a gas station or in a parking lot on a 500 pound bike is another matter. Really happy I had this training. read more

I took the basic rider course that was instructed by Steve. I had never ridden a motorcycle prior to the course, but by the end of the second class, I was getting around no problem! I learned a ton and Steve and Colleen were great. The class was well worth the money, and I'm definitely planning on going back for other courses in the future. read more

This was a great experience and I learned so much. The instructors were awesome, very informative and patient. I would highly recommend this company for lessons. read more

There are very few places in my life where I have received SUPERB care but every aspect of my experience in getting my motorcycle license with this company was PHENOMENAL! Colleen was very responsive to every call, text, or email and she did so in a consistent timely manner. She was patient and assisting in rescheduling my class when the weather prevented the class dates and when my work schedule interferred. DEREK....my Basic Rider Instructor, was very professional and down to earth. He was knowledgeable and entertaining which made my class fun. I am a 45 year old female and my class consisted of myself and two young men early 20s) who had prior motorcycle riding experience. He was able to bridge the age and gender gap engaging all three of us. As a newbie to riding, he took the time to answer questions, and helped me figured out the basics like how to put my helment on properly..lol. He encouraged and coached in a thorough manner. It was truly refreshing to be taught by Derek. I thank both Colleen and Derek for their time and effort! I feel prepared and safe and just today got my motorcycle endorsement! Woot woot!! I will definitely recommend this class and will go back soon to take a following course...Basic Rider 2 ! Kuddos to a well ran riding program .....may they be an example for how other businesses are run. Tiffany Trese read more

I signed up for their two day motorcycle class, called Basic Rider Course (BRC) with DMV wavier, that costs $250 for 17 hours of instruction. Zero stars isn't possible. The Basic Rider Course is NOT for beginners who have never ridden a motorcycle! Don't believe the B.S. on their website. You need more experience than riding a bicycle and studying the MSF Guide to Motorcycling Excellence book. They don't have a large selection of motorcycles for you to choose from. They had 8 mid-size motorcycles, each one weighed about 300 lbs except for a dual-sport (must have been a decade old) that had to be jump started before it could be used (jump starting took about 15 minutes). There won't be 2 instructors for every 8 students. There was 1 instructor and we all had to wait while he set up the cones for each exercise in the parking lot. T3rg's meaning for the word "exercise" doesn't mean practice or preparation; it means an exam. There are 17 exams that you have to pass. Each exam can have up to 4 parts. You'll be read a description and told what to do. Next, the instructor will get on his motorcycle and complete the exam in its entirety without additional explanation. Now, it's your turn. Complete the exam within the time given. Oh yes, one more thing all the exams are performed in a group. Don't slowdown your group by asking questions because thats considered wasting time. At the end of the second exam I told him I didn't do too well on the last exercise and the instructor said "Well, we have to move on." During the third exam, I was given 2 warnings. Both warnings were "you're slowing down the group." The third thing he said was "Turn it off and get off the bike. Don't forget your stuff upstairs. And Leave. Call Colleen [Boyle] and tell her you failed exam #3." I was never told what I was doing wrong. All of this great service is called in their words "working with you to solve any problems you have." The exams get harder as "your training" continues. I think Colleen explains it the best: If you can't pass a part of one exam then you can't perform the other parts. If you fail exam #7 then you didn't learn how to do the first 6 exams correctly. I read a lot of reviews about T3rg. Other websites and motorcyclists on forums were saying $250 is too much money for what they're doing; but, I didn't listen. And no, T3rg doesn't have to give me back my money because I became a danger to myself and other people (when I failed a part of an exam). The whole experience was borderline absurd. I couldn't believe almost none of it was like what they said on their website or in the YouTube videos posted by Colleen Boyle. read more

Hi Colleen, I just wanted to email you and tell you what a GREAT class this was. I spoke with you before registration and explained my issues with riding 2 up and you recommended the Total Control Class 1 for me. The first drill I did was a mess. I managed to be all over the place, tense and not trusting myself or the bike, (typical). By the end of the day, (I still need to practice a bit), I was confidently shifting my weight, hanging off the bike to lean into turns and performing all the drills confidently. On my way home, I just felt so different and confident knowing that my bike can easily and safely perform turns, u-turns, tight circles and leans. I not only didn't fear them anymore, I was looking forward to turning opportunities to practice my new skills. Plus it is a lot more fun not being fearful of messing up and dumping the bike. The instructors were fantastic. Ron S Monument, CO read more

I recently took a basic motorcycle riding course with T3RG at Fay Myers off Arapahoe Road, and enjoyed every minute of the the two day 15 hour course on my little Honda Rebel, I believe I heard someone call it a 250. Before arriving you are required to complete homework which you can pick up at any location listed on T3RG's website, this is so when you get there the classroom time is minimal as possible, we spent three hours in the classroom going around answering the questions and the rest was spent out on the course. My coaches were amazing, they were critically helpful without being anywhere near rude or to make someone feel uncomfortable, they actually thrived to make sure everyone was comfortable at every stage of riding, particularly myself. Little time was spent walking the bike with the clutches friction zone, before we actually kicked our feet up and applied some throttle, not that this is a bad thing because after all we are there to ride. Before we began any course we were explained in detail what we were going to be doing during this course and then the coach performed a couple laps to assure we understood what was expected. Each course lasted for some time with the coaches pulling me to the side they felt need some guidance in certain areas or they were use hand signals or just yell it out to the riders, again not to be mean but because the bikes are loud. At the end of the course you are required to pass an evaluation of your riding which consists of a few of the riding techniques learned, again it is explained in detail with time to practice before you actually start. Motorcycles, helmets and water are all provided, although if you have your own helmet already it is recommended that you wear it. Only thing you are required to bring are long sleeved shirt, pants, full fingered gloves and eye protection. Pretty minimal stuff considering the FUN you are going to have. I will be taking other courses in the future with this company. read more

I hate to leave a poor review because the instructor I met was very friendly and seemed knowledgable, but the owner of the company is absolutely wretched. I had the misfortune of having a few phone calls with her. Both times she was very unpleasant and immediately confrontational. I tried to take the class two weeks ago, but was unable to make it due to a family crisis. I called to reschedule and explained my situation hoping for a little sympathy. I found none. She got confrontational to the point where I had to take a step back and explain to her that I wasn't trying to get in an argument. I had to pay $150 to reschedule. I tried to do the homework at 7 on the Friday before my course, and realized that the booklet required isn't available online. It's 2016, get with the times. So I show up and explain to the instructor. He was very understanding and friendly. He was going to let me complete the course, however the owner stepped in and kicked me out. We talked on the phone again and she was extremely rude. I don't understand how a company can operate with zero standards for customer service. She started to curse at me on the phone until she eventually hung up after I told her I refused to pay another rescheduling fee. Apparently they do not care about sharing the joys of the road with new riders. They simply see you as another dollar bill. In the end I drove 40 mins (both ways) and payed $500 out of pocket, only to be treated poorly and have nothing to show for it. Wouldn't recommend to someone I didn't like. Please avoid. In response to Colleen's comment: You're right Colleen. I missed my first session due to unfortunate circumstances, but there was no skin off your back because I paid nearly 50% of the original fee to reschedule. And as I admitted, I skimmed through the emails and didn't realize a course book wasn't available online (which is archaic) until it was too late. If you are cold and dead inside, and go by the black-and-white small print (which I think is bullshit for a business that should be customer oriented), then yes; I was unprepared and forfeit the cost of the class. But even if you let that slide, I was astounded by the amount of rudeness, hostility, and disrespect that Collen portrayed to a paying customer. How can you run a business this way? I have never been treated so poorly by someone who relies on customers for income. I have several friends who just got into, or are thinking about getting into riding. I am going to go out of my way to make sure they avoid the mistake of trying to take a with T3RG, terrible business and owner. If it wasn't for that black-and-white small print that you're hiding behind, I would sue you for my lost money and time. read more

Be carefull when dealing with the sneaky lady who apparently "runs" this whole outfit!!! If you have to reschedule or if you cannot make your class, she will charge you an additional 150 dollars on top of the already rediculous price they charge!!! That is almost $500 total!!! If I were you I would try a different company as this lady is very sneaky. I had thought that I would able to reschedule because I did not have time to pick up some workbook they expect you to get done before you even go into class. Then when I was told I could not go to class if I did not do my homework (are we in high school again??), I would not be able to join the class ( I have rode motorcycles for about 5 years now, did that matter? Nooooo!) They guy teaching the class said I would just be able to call and reschedule when I showed up at 7 in the morning So when I did call to reschedule, she tries to tell me that I have to pay an additional 150 bucks and referred to an email that I never got!!!!!! SCAMMMERSSS SCAMMMERSSS SCAMMERRSSSS!!! Its awesome that they do this especially with the economy as it is. They are just in it for the money. They do not care what they are doing Im glad these fools can still line their pockets!!! STAY AWAY STAY AWAY!!!!! read more

I took the T3RG basic course 2 on June 23rd. The instructor was an individual who rode up wearing a paper-thin long sleeve tee-shirt stained with grease and food. He had not shaven nor trimmed his facial hair for at least a month. He had a body odor of someone who had not showered for 3 days. He actually stated that his disgusting, stained paper-thin tee shirt was adequate motorcycle protection when he pulled the sleeves down and said, "do that BEFORE you get on the motorcycle for protection". I knew this guy was a fraud and charlatan immediately. He did not present a course syllabus. He did not outline the purpose of the exercises we were conducting. He did not tell us whether we were performing the exercises correctly. He did not work with struggling students to ensure that they passed the exercises. He did not inform us that all exercises are required to be done perfectly with one mistake meaning failure of the exam. Also, he did not successfully navigate a single demonstration on his motorcycle where he hit cones almost every time. He actually almost struck me with his motorcycle on the range at one point (I had to step out of the way to keep from getting hit). He was personally and professionally a complete disgrace. I am a 51-year-old veteran of the Army and Marine Corps with approximately 30 years of riding experience in Europe and America (approximately 200,000 miles on the road). I have taken motorcycle safety courses in Europe and America and this school is a total joke. I would really like a refund but I am willing to entertain another try with a different instructor in that the horrible instructor they provided may be a one-off. read more

Unfortunately this school charges way more than other schools that offer the exact same curriculum. They state that they have the best instructors, but they continue to lose their great instructors because they don't pay their instructors on a timely basis. Their instructors typically have to wait at least 3 months after they have taught in order to get paid. So be aware you may not have a very good instructor because of this. read more
