DURING YOUR CLASS FAQ

Q: What if I show up to the riding portion of class without proper riding gear?
A: Unfortunately, unless someone in the class or the school has something for you to use, you will have to reschedule to a different class.
We do the class at a motorcycle dealership and they have plenty of gear for you to purchase. (You may find items from the lost and found )


Q: What if I am late or miss a class?
A: Late? The instructor knows, that “stuff happens” and will wait a few minutes. But if you are more than a few minutes late or miss a class, you will need to call us and reschedule your class. (At an added expense to you) The class is structured in such a way that it all has to happen in order and if you miss an exercise you will not be up to speed of the other riders.
