Test the Waters with JumpStart

Nervous about enrolling? Start with JumpStart, a motorcycle mounted to a stable platform; it cannot move! You will be given helpful pointers and then you will be guided through safely mounting the motorcycle and operation of the primary controls.

You will be guided through starting the engine, operating the controls (including the throttle!), and then you will have a chance to run through the gears. Shifting will be explained and you will have the opportunity to learn in a low risk, low pressure, environment. JumpStart is free to use and you can give it a try just about any time.

There is no-obligation to enroll in class after a complimentary JumpStart experience.
