I'm honestly not sure I should even be reviewing a place that teaches you how to ride a motorcycle…read more-- I have nothing to compare them to! But from where I stand, it all felt pretty tight. The instructors? Super kind, super patient, and they make sure to give you one-on-one help when you're struggling -- plus, they're quick with the "nice job!" when you get it right. My personal nemesis? Sharp turns from a standstill, especially in that dreaded 90-degree box. Working the clutch's friction zone is absolutely critical there, and I kept overthinking it. If I'm being picky, my only complaint is that I wish we'd had more time to practice that particular drill. A lot of people in the class struggled with it, and since it's part of the rider's test, I could've used the extra reps. First day of class? Not even nervous -- mostly because it wasn't my bike I might be dropping! (Also, pro tip: they mean it when they say "rain or shine," so show up no matter the weather.) The instructors' best confidence boost was one simple word: momentum. At first, I was worried about carrying too much speed in the small practice area -- what if I couldn't stop in time? But I quickly learned that any time I felt wobbly at slow speeds, all I needed was a little momentum to steady the bike. Once I was moving, I didn't feel like I was going to drop it -- and that realization has stuck with me on every ride since. After passing the BRC, I hopped on my KTM RC390 (which, side note, does not like starting out in 2nd gear like the course bikes) and hit the road. Every time I felt a little shaky, I'd hear the instructors' voices in my head. I was honestly surprised how many of the drills from class popped up naturally in real street riding -- they really do stick. So yeah -- it's a great course. Even if you're thinking, "Why are we doing this?" or "This feels repetitive," or "Ugh, I just want to go fast already!" -- trust me, it's all about making sure you hit the streets safe and confident.

Easily the worst driving school out there. Slowly scheduling the on-road driving lessons is a…read morenightmare that takes months; you'll think you have inherited a second job, and a bad one. Their driving instructors are an utter shambling mess; one driving instructor had my teen drive to and park at her house so she could go inside and fix herself a hotdog to eat as they drove around. Thank you, very instructive. Choose any other driving school in the valley. Literally: anything else. EDIT: Note that the reply under this review suggests that it is "selfish" to want to "fast-track" a student to a reasonable amount of time. Not so! This is a business that charges money; Nichols refuses to hire more instructors because it would cost them money. Don't be fooled, go other places, there are many better options.

I get he felt uncomfortable, but instead of trying to solve the problem and say, "hey, I felt uncomfortable, please dont to that again", he told on me! It was only a joke.

From start to finish, everything was smooth and super helpful. Shoutout to my Zoom class instructor, Crystal -- she was incredibly informative and made the lessons easy to follow. She broke things down in a way that made sense and helped me feel more confident every step of the way. Major props to my in-car driving instructor, Tyler B. -- hands down one of the best teachers I've had for anything. He kept things real, was super funny and kind, and gave me the best driving techniques, like the 3-line method that helped me kill it on the road and especially with parking. Tyler made learning to drive way less stressful and way more chill, and I'm really grateful for his guidance. Communication and scheduling were smooth, and the school even let me use one of their cars for the DMV test, which made the whole process that much easier.
