    If you're thinking of getting a motorcycle, getting your M-class license, or riding on a "dirty" permit, please please please take this class! This course will teach you the basic fundamentals of riding, but also covers a few things such as body position. This information is well worth spending the $350 to get some solid basics under your belt and to keep bad habits from forming in your riding career. Even if you (think) you already have the skills to ride, this class will teach you about situational awareness and how to anticipate better when on the road. Ted is an awesome instructor and keeps the Zoom online classes as well as the riding classes entertaining with his sense of humor. He has a wealth of knowledge and is happy to answer any questions or concerns. The riding range is held in a large parking lot (Lot "E") on the south side of Orange Coast College (OCC) off Merrimac Way... very easy to find!

    So far so good!!! Finished my first training today. I started the morning out with out any confidence, not knowing how to use gears or really anything. I definitely left with a totally new mind set and a feeling of encouragement and ability. Looking forward to my final training next Saturday. The instructors are super cool and fun. They are very clear with their teachings and no matter the level make you feel like you can do it.

    Ted and Kip are both great and care deeply about you being alive for years to come. The information on the zoom is taught with the intent of you learning and is delivered with a sense of humor. The on-site classes are well organized with a focus on safety and real world situations.

    Ted is an amazing teacher and more than that..He is an awesome person.! His jokes and his humor make the class so much more interesting than it would be if it was just your average "Joe" teaching the class. he is super knowledgeable on all things motorcycles and I learned so much in two days of in person class. I highly recommend this course! Me and my son took is together and it'll be an experience that we won't soon forget!

    The training course.

    These guys are awesome. I took the training with Ted and had a great time overall. One of the nice things about this course was their dedication to safety and learning good habits. They are upfront with you in what they will teach, what they won't teach, and what they will and will not tolerate during the course. Ted has a great sense of humor and that was important to me as a completely new rider. If you respect the class, respect the instruction, you will have a great time here. Classes currently are class work on zoom and road classes at OCC. Their riding groups are restricted to 6 during Covid, so you actually get more riding time with the smaller class sizes. They are pretty booked up currently but sign up as soon as possible so you can get the certificate to waive the road test from the DMV

    I say with absolute confidence the importance and value of this training. Back in my day, I rode big bikes on long summer rides. I suppose I rode well, no bad incidents, but here I enrolled in the beginning class to get back the feel of two wheels and a motor. I am glad I did. When we are away from frequent riding, we can slip into a sort of mind view of idealized cruising., Meaning, we mentally feel the connection of riding on the street. NOT true. The mind idealizes; the reality is, things change. Techniques such as counter steering, proper approach for turns; tight turns slow turns handling obstacles, to brake or not to brake in a turn, and why. Such things were not always presented or learned by riders. It may be pure luck no incidents occurred. Beginning class? More than that. This class breaks down the basic fundamentals of riding and handling your motorcycle REGARDLESS of your skill level. Nuances we may or may not have had or techniques newly refined are all-inclusive of URides instruction presenting the ESSENTIAL 'LIFE SAVING, CRITICAL' elements absolutely necessary to safely operate a motorcycle. I know from my own experience that ultimately basics will rule. Advanced training is built on the basics. So I fully trust the staff at URide to have my back. I am far better in all ways, from my having taken their course. Personnel? Kip: I did not train with him, but I watched a few hours of his class. I was fully impressed with his humor and excellent connection with the students and presentation of the course material. Especially impressive were seeing those who were timid, mounting a bike for the first time. I watched these 'cupcakes' evolve from fear and stress to relaxed control with confidence. That is amazing. Ted: My teacher. He is a total chill laid back funny guy, who expertly guided us thru the realities of riding, and potential mishaps. All of the possibilities were covered including avoidance and countermeasures. To know is to act with proper technique, and not be forced to scramble for lack of knowledge. Ted (and Kip) inspire the confidence essential to ride well. It became obvious there are better ways of riding than what many of us may have known or learned on our own. I spoke to old-school riders who never had such training or knew some of the specific skills necessary for our safety. Ted, helped me in a giant way, I think students feel his empathy, and that helps them replace apprehension with the confidence of new skill. Greg: I have to smile. Greg met me head-on. Of all the motorcycle school reps I spoke with, it was Greg who hit me with such a good understanding of my own weakness, and how to approach my training, I enrolled immediately. It was the best I could have done. All at URide care about each of their 'member students.' I saw timid beginners go from timidity to confidence with learned skills. I confidently trust URide as one of the very best MC Riding schools you will find.

    Early morning training!

    I can't imagine a better driver training program for teenagers than Teen Road to Safety. Over the…read morepast few years, I'd spot TRTS vehicles out in the wild, and always thought it was cool that they were utilizing Mustangs, Model 3s, and Bronco Sport vehicles rather than more pedestrian entry-level sedans. As the father to a car-crazy teenager, when it came time for my son to begin his behind-the-wheel training, TRTS was the only solution we considered. Each two-hour lesson with Steven Unland and Jim Sewell was thorough and my son enjoyed conversing with Steven and Jim as he drove. At the end of each lesson, I was given a session review sheet containing the things they covered during the driving lesson and feedback for any areas that my son needed to work on before the next lesson. Thanks to the training that TRTS provided, my son confidently and effortlessly passed his CA DMV behind-the-wheel driving test with only a one point deduction.

    I found TRTS here on Yelp several months ago. My 17 yo son really has no interest in driving and…read moreprefers his e-bike. Starting with a reluctant driver can't be an easy task for a driving instructor, but Marc was so patient. Yesterday he had his final lesson and his test is Monday. Marc has done an excellent job of preparing him. He has an easy going attitude while also imparting crucial wisdom. My son is still reluctant but I'm grateful to Marc for helping along this important milestone of life. Cheers to safe drivers!
