The Motorcycle Safety Foundation offers highly recommended courses for new riders, with helpful and patient instructors who provide valuable guidance on technique and safety. Many students praise the trainers for going above and beyond, helping build confidence and ensuring a safe riding experience. Locations like Mays Landing and Moore, OK, feature a variety of bikes, often similar to those students plan to buy. While some mention the need for better bike maintenance and clearer course markings, overall, the course is considered very beneficial and worth the investment for anyone looking to learn how to ride a motorcycle.
I followed up on an old bucket list item. I have owned motorcycles on and off since I was 12 or 13 back in Illinois riding around country roads on my 125cc Honda. In my 20's I got a permit and rode a 550 Yamaha bike for some time before dropping all riding until 30 years later. Then, I decided to buy one to restore and tool around, again, only on a permit. However, November 5-7 I took a motorcycle safety course through MSF (Motorcycle Safety Foundation) sponsored by Atlanta Harley-Davidson of Lithia Springs GA. Dante' Izard was our Coach, a super trainer that took the time with each of the 6 riders to make sure we had the basics and then then final training to make us very comfortable and aware of what is required to be a safe and responsible cycle rider. Thanks Dante', I would recommend your training to anyone considering a bike or just getting back on one. A good refresher is something I can safely say will make one a better and safer rider. I learned a lot, and it pointed out some bad cycle habits that I created by learning on my own. And after all those years, I finally have an Official motorcycle license in GA!! Again, thanks Dante' and thanks Atlanta Harley-Davidson, a a super Harley Dealership with some outstanding folks.
I cannot say enough good things about MSF. The trainers were incredible, with special thank you to Joy Lofton who went above and beyond. I now have the confidence to ride, and ride safely-something I did not have before taking this course. I highly recommend it to all those new to riding- worth every penny. Five stars, hands down.
Took this class in August of this year- in Mays Landing- the class was great- I learned a lot- the coaches were wonderful and very helpful- they talked us through any issues any of us had- I would highly recommend this course to anyone wanting to ride a motorcycle. - Thank you! Joe T.
