Shannon Boyles, PR director, Rocky Mountain Rollergirls: 

“The skills I learned in a motorcycle safety class were both priceless and lifesaving. Just this past weekend, I attended an experienced riders course that I learned about through the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT). The training was conducted by a MOST-certified training organization. It was a great refresher and reinforced some critical riding skills. I took the class with my 64-year-old Dad Peter Boyles and was shocked to hear he learned so much from the course. I tell people, if I can take this class, anyone can.
  
Safety is key - being alert and always ready for a quick stop or the ability to swerve out of trouble is so important!  Looking a few seconds ahead of the bike and planning a course of action will keep you alive and enjoying riding bikes for the rest of your life. Thanks for a wonderful Sunday out on the course - If I were to give this course a 1-10 rating, it would come in at 857!"


Ken Clark, Fox 31 News – Good Day Colorado:

“ The class was wonderful. The instructors were incredibly knowledgeable about riding and knew how to teach an old dog. The class not only built on the foundation of the beginner class, but also took it to another level with the ability to practice/learn on my motorcycle. Within minutes, they pointed out a bad habit that could lead to problems in an emergency.

This class takes the book learning to the street. For me, having all the instruction on the bike I ride daily, is the best part; it helps to have the instruction with your own bike. Like the old saying goes, ‘devil in the details,' and in this class they teach the details that can save your life. Well worth the time!!”


Officer Kim Steen, City of Littleton Police Department:

“I realized that I had to undo a lot of bad habits when I took a motorcycle safety class. It was amazing to me how much I learned. It really made me a much better, safer, more alert rider. I'm not only a better rider, I enjoy riding much more. I recommend training for everyone, no matter what your skill level is or how long you've been riding.”
