• I completed the M2 course at Loyalist College Sept 18th & would like to comment on the professionalism of your instruction team. Most noteworthy is Leo who demonstrated knowledge, humour, compassion, and kindness above & beyond the call of duty, in my opinion. I will gladly recommend the course to my friends & family. Thanks for everything Leo.

• I took the M2 motorcycle course on the 12-13-14 August, I consider myself as a mature rider form riding motorcycle and motocross almost all my life (for 30 some year). Went to the course with a open mind, found myself learning basic skill. A+ to the instructor, they were very good and very interested in their work.

• Hi 
  I just finished my M2 course at Loyalist College (Sept 9-11) and wanted to say Thank You to Bill, Paula and Maggie. It was an awesome course and the Instructors did a great job. I would highly recommend this course to anyone who wants to ride a motorcycle. 
  
  Great job, 
  Steve
   
• I just finished this course this past weekend with Devin Franklin, Fred Benjamin and Rick Harding as the instructors. They all made all the riders feel at ease and comfortable on the bikes. I found the knowledge that they had to share to be extensive and have taken a lot from this course. I truly enjoyed the whole experience (even though I didn't breath through all of the exercises) and feel more comfortable and confident on a bike. Thank you very much Devin, Fred and Rick for a great experience and to Motorcyclecourse.com for offering this course.

• After completing the ladies only M2 course in Peterborough this spring, I wanted to express how important I feel that this course continues for women. I felt very comfortable to learn and experience motorcycles with a group of my peers. I hope you continue to offer this course in the future.

• I just wanted to say thank you to Brett and the rest of the team that led the M2 Course on the weekend of Sept 2-4. They made the course incredibly fun and a great place to learn at the same time. It was money well spent thanks to them.

• Hello, I just wanted to get in touch to give some feedback about the M1 Exit course I took last weekend.
  
  The course was awesome!! Not only were the guys who taught the course a great group of guys but they were also incredible at allowing everybody to feel at ease and ready to learn.
  
  I went into the course with zero experience and a little nervous and came out feeling that I am capable and equipped to hit the road (while always honing my skills and practicing of course). I have a good foundation of understanding how operate a motorcycle and more importantly, how to be prepared for the situations I will encounter daily.
  
  Thank you and thank the instructors at the Durham College location for putting on such a valuable course to new riders like myself. I look forward to waving at them as we pass each other on the road.

  Thanks again,
  Ryan Porter
   

• Mr. Weil,

  I have just successfully completed the M1 Exit course the weekend of August 26-28/11 in Whitby. I have been a passenger on motorcycles since I was just 1 year old, and for my 40th birthday, decided that I wanted to be in the driver's seat! All of the instructors at the program (but a special shout-out to Ron, Tim and Randy) were absolutely fabulous - very patient with me, and were able to find the right way to either verbally describe or in some instances, physically show me (i.e. moving my head to the proper position!) how to ride! I cannot thank them enough, other than to say that I will be seeing them again for the M2 Exit course in 18 months, and will definitely be sending my daughter there when she's ready to get her motorcycle! All the best to all of the instructors at Durham College, and keep up the amazing work!

• The course was great! The instructors were great, a good mix of technical, fun and humour. My only comment is that 30 students would be a lot better than 40. At times we were slowed down by less confident people so that creates a problem for the 39 people after them. Suggest cut the class size down and charge more. In fact, I would pay twice or 3 times as much for 5 or 10 per session instead of 40. Overall a great experience. Ron was excellent the whole weekend.

• I was fortunate enough to take the M1 this past weekend at Durham. I had to go in forgetting everything I knew about a motorcycle to start fresh. The grass roots approach help me immensely. The facilitators were second to none. I would highly recommend this course to anyone who has ridden or never ridden before. I cannot thank the instructors Ron, Tony, Tim, Randy, John, Chris, Dan, and last but not least Howard. I am a better rider and more aware of my surroundings. I hope to see this same cast of characters when I do my M2 exit course in a couple years. Thank you again for teaching me the proper way.
  
  Bryan
   
• Just wanted to write and say thank you to the three instructors, Ryan, Mike and Devin for their patience and excellent teaching skills. I am 51 years old and decided I wanted to ride my own motorcycle after sitting behind my husband these past 10 years or so. These three gentlemen were so helpful and encouraging along with being tough and no nonsense. I learnt a lot on the weekend of August 19 - 21, 2011 here in Belleville. Thank you again for the informative and enjoyable course!!! I would highly recommend this course and plan to do so when the opportunity arises.

• Hello, I just took the M2 course on the weekend in Peterborough. The Instructors were Dave Bedford, Paula and Brett. Their instruction was superb, I could not have asked for anything more. They certainly provided what you needed to know to stay safe and offered constructive feedback when appropriate. If all of your instructors are this good you must have a fantastic team. I had a great time and am looking forward to taking the M2 Exit Course. The only negative that I would have to say is on the video content. One would think that you would be able to find something with Canadian Content. Quite often people on the front line do not get acknowledged, please ensure that these individuals receive a "job well done" from management of motorcyclecourse.com
  
  Sincerely,
  Tom Sangster
   
• Thank you so much to Martha and Mike who ran the intro to motorcycling on 15th Aug, their unfailing good humour encouragement and enthusiasm made the course a joy. I have since signed up for the M2 course in Sept and look forward to more excellent tuition.
  
  Thank you again,
  Sara
   
• I just completed my M2 course/M1 Exit course with Ed, Harold, and Bill they were all very helpful and they made learning to ride a motorcycle fun and exciting. They gave us correctional criticism when necessary and praised us when we did well. They all gave us specific instructions for every activity and that helped everyone work through the activities smoothly and properly. Thanks so much worth the money.

• I just completed my M2 course in Kingston with Ed, Bill and Harold. The course was awesome. Even more so with all the rain! Thanks guys. I look forward to riding and booking my M course with you in a couple years or so. Cheers!

• I just finished my M2 Exit Course at Durham College Aug 19-21, with instructor Tim. Again, another great experience through Durham College. I was very impressed with Tim, he was a great instructor, and I learned a lot from him, which in turn, makes me a better driver. I would highly recommend this course to anyone! Thanks for the great experience! Durham College should be very proud to have Tim as an instructor in their motorcycle courses. He is very professional, and obviously loves riding motorcycles and teaching his knowledge to students. He made this course really fun. I would highly recommend this course to everyone that is interested in riding motorcycles! 
  
  Thanks again Tim, great job!

• I just finished the M2 course in Kingston with Harold, Jeanine and Tom, I just wanted to say thanks to all of them for being fantastic instructors, and having so much patience with us newbee riders, I really learned a lot and truly believe I am a much safer and more confident rider thanks to them.

• My husband and I just completed our M2 Exit Motorcycle Training with Mike in Kingston at St. Lawrence College and not only are we overjoyed that we both passed but that the course was so worthwhile! Mike is an exceptional course instructor- the best teachers enjoy helping their students to learn, improve and succeed in their newly acquired skill sets. Mike not only gave us succinct and helpful instructional tips but shared his wisdom and passion for motorcycling. His riding experience gave us insights into driving scenarios that we have already faced as riders but he improved our existing understanding of safety practices that will only make our riding skills better! 
  
  The course was intensive but Mike made it entertaining. He encouraged us to aim for the highest standard of safe riding and balanced praise with constructive criticism to both support and challenge us. Mike prepared us completely for our test on Sunday by encouraging discussion after every riding test scenario that we went through on our Saturday pretest 4 hour ride. As a group, we were able to explore any riding concerns that came up (and we certainly had some interesting situations out there!) and Mike would point out what we did well or what we overlooked. His solid teaching was the critical element in our success! 
  
  We wholeheartedly endorse the training that we received through the M2 Exit program. We cannot imagine riding our motorcycles without taking both courses- the instructional training has made the difference in becoming extremely safe and aware riders. Thank you Mike!

• I just attended the M2 exit course at Sir Sandford Fleming College this past weekend (Aug. 12th) and just wanted to mention what a positive experience it was. Bryce was an excellent coach and the skills this course has given me will serve me well for years to come, I'm sure. I would recommend this course to anyone considering a motorcycle.
  
  Graeme
    
• About two years ago, I decided to pursue driving a motorcycle. Never having been on one EVER, someone suggested that I take the M2 course at St. Lawrence College in Kingston.....they supply the bike, and teach you the skills right from 'square one'. I didn't even know how to start the darn things! Well, Harold, Al, and the folks did just that and taught me so much more, and afterwards I was so pleased with the course that I decided that when I was going to go for my M2 Exit, I would return to the college to do it through Motorcyclecourse.com. It just so happens that this weekend I DID get my Full 'M', thanks to Mike and his teaching. A lot of people said that I could save money by just going to the Drive Test and doing the road test on my own, but where can you go to spend a weekend with a real road examiner driving behind you teaching, observing and giving critique on the skills you possess and those you NEED to possess, to prepare you for what's expected from you when you do decide to do your test? Plus the fact that the examiner teaching you is a seasoned rider himself, as are all the folks working for Motorcycle.com. 
  
  I also like the fact that the teachers bring a lot of humour and are so good natured, that they make the experience enjoyable (not like a university lecture...YEECH!)
  
  I highly recommend the M2 to brand new learners and seasoned riders looking for a refresher, and the M2 Exit for those ready to go for their Full Class 'M'. Contrary to what some people might say or think, the skills and theory you'll learn ARE worth every penny.

• Good afternoon Mr. Weil
  
  I completed the motorcycle training course yesterday and want to extend to you and all the instructors form the weekend how absolutely wonderful the whole experience was.
  
  I signed onto the course to see if driving a motorcycle was something I would like ( I have been a passenger for years) and came into the weekend with maybe an hour experience on a dirt bike 25 years ago (likely an automatic and started for me!).
  
  When I arrived Saturday morning I was terrified but when I left Sunday; even failing and needing a retest; I am confident and excited about riding! The whole team of instructors offered us such knowledge, PATIENCE and great encouragement (not mentioning the fun)
  
  I think the course itself should be mandatory before getting a M2.
  
  Please extend my appreciation, thanks and compliments to the instructors from the weekend.
  
  Best regards,
  Trudy
   
• Hi MotorcycleCourse.com. I took the M1 Exit with Mike, Harold and Martha on July 15th. They were fantastic instructors and ran a great course. Clear concise instructing and very patient. 
  
  Thanks!

• Just completed the course and received the M2 at Algonquin College in Ottawa July 22nd weekend. What a great course and experience. Instructors and training information was top notch, a lot of companies could learn something from them regarding the training presentation. Thanks again to a great bunch of instructors, Norm, Greg, Tim, Paul, Werner, and a pleasure meeting lots of interesting folks. I will be recommending this course to many people.
  
  Shawn
   
• Hello, I just successfully graduated the M1 Exit Course at Algonquin College with the instructors Normand, Tim, Paul, Werner, Greg. I wanted to leave feedback to let you know that your course and the instructors are perfect and to not change a thing.
  
  The classroom sessions led by Tim and Normand were excellent. They didn't bore us, but instead gave us information to prepare us for the weekend ahead.
  
  The practical part of the course was an amazing experience. I enjoyed every minute of it (even the pushing of the motorcycles in 30 degree weather...in gear). The instructors taught at an excellent pace, lead us by example and gave us all one on one pieces of advice and encouragement after every exercise. They kept us safe while riding, hydrated and genuinely looked like they were having a great time just being around motorcycles and teaching.
  
  I started the course never riding before and knowing nothing about the use and limits of a motorcycle. I graduated knowing how to ride a motorcycle and have fun safely. 
  
  Thank you for your course and your instructors, they are an asset to the motorcycling community.

• Great course! I was a complete beginner and pretty sure I wasn't going to 'get it'. Felt pretty confident by the end of class on Saturday. Sunday morning, I could have used a bit more revision/practice time. There was so much instruction on Saturday, 15-20 minutes of 'free time' Sunday morning to practice and remember would have been good. Mike & Bryan were great when I was having trouble (I had a bit of a meltdown actually and was thinking of leaving) They took the time to help me figure out what was wrong and how to fix it. Turned out I needed to be at the end of the line so I could focus on what I was doing rather than if I was going too slow for the people behind me. Jamie checked in with me a few times after that to make sure I was ok. They were great, giving everyone in the class individual attention when needed. I will recommend this course to everyone, beginner or otherwise and I'll be back again for the M2 exit! 
  
  Thanks!
  Terry
   
• I attended the course on the weekend of July 17 @ Durham college. I had an excellent instructor group and a wonderful time meeting the various students. I had ridden previously approximately 16 years ago and this served as an exceptional re-introduction to riding.
  
  I wish this course were mandatory for all M and G drivers as it provides a lot of insight.
  
  One of the instructors mentioned that there was a course coming up to train instructors. I would like some info on this as my father is retired from GM in his 50's with over 35 + years of accident and ticket free riding. He is very safety conscious as years of safety training were well received from previous employment. This would be an excellent role for him as he is free to work both the Whitby and Peterborough campus with ease perhaps filling in other locations if need be from time to time.
  
  I'd appreciate if you could send me a contact for him.
  
  For the record I passed the test with zero's across the board and my father and I will now be able to hit the open road safely together. We're both looking forward to this new opportunity to strengthen our bond as we grow older.
  
  Thanks, 
  Ty
   
• I would like to send my praises to all the instructors of the motorcycle course that I took at Algonquin College in Ottawa the weekend of June 3, 4 & 5, 2011. Judith was outstanding in her classroom lessons as well as all the instructors who worked on the outside lessons. I was retested on June 26 and again the 2 instructors I was working with were outstanding, Brett & I can not remember the other gentleman's name. I wish to thank them for their patience & support. Great job!!

• Just completed the course and am delighted that I took this. The wealth of guidance and knowledge provided was great. The cost of this course paid for itself on the first day, alone. Purchased my bike the day after course completion and my confidence is brimming. Thank you, thank you thank you to the Durham crew. This is a must do course and you won't regret it....
  
  Cheers

• I took the M2 course at Durham College this past weekend. I was truly impressed with the entire program. The instructors were knowledgeable, patient and all seemed to have a really good and perhaps a little warped sense of humour. I am so glad that I decided to take this program. I will definitely be back for the M2 Exit Course! See ya in a couple years. 
  
  Thank You
  Kerri Brands
   
• I attended your course held at Durham College last weekend and just wanted to drop you a note to let you know how please I was.
  
  Your two lead instructors were thoroughly professional and ran the course with military precision. Things started on time, ended on time and there was a great deal of respect shown for both student time and instructor time. Being several times accused of being overly strict in the time sense I really appreciated their ability to accomplish this with 41 students. Well done.
  
  One comment. One point emphasized was the "wanna try my motorcycle" phrase. It was presented that unless the person you were lending your bike to actually had a motorcycle as well as an M licence then there was no insurance. I found this interesting so I checked with my broker who checked with the underwriter. The underwriter was quite emphatic that as long as I verified that the person had an M licence then whether they had a motorcycle or not was irrelevant to insurance coverage. Needless to say I had my broker make sure they had that in writing since I know a couple of folks are going to ask the question. You might want to further investigate this comment before including it in the course. This is not, please understand, a knock on the course merely an observation.
  
  Again thank you for putting together such a great team! Maybe as a reward buy them all new red shirts.
  
  Congratulations I will be back for the next course.

• Hi There, I just wanted to make a point of letting you know how great of an experience I had at the gearing up course this past weekend. I took the course April 15-17 in Whitby (Durham College), if you recall the weather was absolutely horrible! Despite that I had a great time! The whole team was amazing, so encouraging and also concerned about our well being, making sure that we had lots of breaks to warm up and that it was always safe to ride. I\'m sure you can imagine that it would be tough to learn this new skill in rain, snow, wind and hail, but with the help of this great team it was a completely obtainable goal. I wanted to add a special note about Tim, I felt that he was really there to support the students and keep us motivated, even when I was frustrated he was able to help me relax and do my best. Everybody put in 100% all weekend and I really couldn't have asked for a better team. 
  
  Thanks again!

• Good day, I took the M2 course on the weekend of 16-17 Apr in Belleville.
  
  Our instructors were John, Brian & Skip.
  
  I hadn't ridden a motorcycle in 16 years. After taking the course, I had no hesitation on ridding my new bike. All the little tricks they gave me made ridding fun and built the confidence.
  
  The only thing I would suggests is to let someone else besides John Milner order the weather. We got lots of rain, snow, sleet and wind....
  
  I will seriously look into the M2 Exit course.
  
  Regards,
  Eric
   
• Just finished the M2 course in Peterborough and was pleasantly surprised. I have ridden motocross years before but found this course and instructors to be quite good. Hats of to Ray Lisa and John for putting on a great learning experience!!

• Hi, I just took the course in Peterborough May 6 to 8, 2011. The Instructors were Ray, John and Lisa. All 3 were very supportive and did a great job with course content and rider preparation for the M2 test. The class size of 15 with 3 Instructors was excellent.

• I took the M2 course this past weekend at Durham College in Whitby. I wanted to let you know that I would probably not have been able to get my M2 without this course. The instructors were awesome. They made learning easy as well as fun. When I started the weekend I didn't feel confident and comfortable on the motorcycle. With their help and encouragement I felt that I had been riding for awhile. Again I wanted to thank them for an excellent job and a great weekend.
  
  Thank you
  John Jones
   
• First of all, I would like to thank the great instructors we had teaching my course this weekend. John, Ed and Mike really made the course fun at the same time passing on their knowledge of safe biking. They were enthusiastic and extremely knowledgeable , they made sure the course was fun but safe, once again thanks for the excellent training.
  
  Richard
   
• I just completed the M2 course in Kingston this past weekend (May 20, 2011) and can not say enough about Alex, Ed and Harold. I had never operated a bike before and in the three days I went from not knowing how to turn on a bike to being able to make emergency stops, swerve and avoid and having fun while getting up to speed. The instructors were professional, fun and they made you feel like "you could do this" even when you had doubts. Anyone who is even thinking about getting a motorcycle licence needs to take this course and I am going to recommend it to everyone I know. Stay safe and have fun on the roads.

• As a novice senior having only experienced riding on three-wheel ATV's, I thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated the course at Algonquin in Ottawa, on May 27-29, 2011. The professionalism of the chief and his fellow instructors was very evident in the stress on vigilance and safety. Their comments and suggestions were very helpful and shall remain with me in the years to come. 
  
  Many thanks! 
  Mike
   
• Hi Bryce, Rick & Trevor,
  
  Just wanted to say thank you for a real fun weekend (SSFC May 27-29, 2011) even though I didn't smile all the time (due to concentrating). The course was a blast and well worth the money I feel very confident in riding a bike in which I never thought of myself doing.
  
  So again thanks and we will see you on the road.
  Angela McCracken
   
• I just completed the M2 Course at Algonquin College with Brett, Judith, Aziz, George and Doug and all I can say is thank you so much for teaching skills that will save your life. All the instructors were very professional and made even the riders who had never ridden before feel at ease and by the end they were riding with confidence and the proper skills. Brett added a nice touch of humor on top of his top notch teaching which really made the course fun but all the others were equally just as good and they all cared that we learned the proper techniques. I can't say enough about the course it was an amazing experience and if anyone is thinking of taking a motorcycle course this is the one to take the staff were top notch and professional and by the end the group felt more like a family then a class.
  
  I highly recommend this course for anyone thinking of riding a motorcycle one day.
  
  Thanks Judith, George, Aziz, Brett and Doug you guys truly are the best.

  Rick
   

• I have never met a more patient group of teachers in my Life! All eight instructors were simple amazing!!!
  
  To Durham College-Whitby M2 Course Instructors.
  
  What is more amazing and a true testament to their teaching abilities and patience, is that they taught me how to ride a motorcycle! Thank you so much for your help! You all deserve a big, FAT, raise!!!!

• My son Andrew and I just completed the m2 course at Fleming College. We both found it informative and fun, and I would not hesitate to recommend this course to anyone. Thanks to Anita, Bill and Brett who were all excellent instructors.

• I graduated from the M2 course at Loyalist College, Belleville in May 2011. At 45, I never rode a motorcycle, always opting to remain a passenger. 15 years after my husband and I were involved in a motorcycle accident, the bug finally got the best of us and we purchased a bike for hubby. He prompted me to get my license, recommending that I take the course, so I could learn from experienced professionals. John, Bryan, and Mike were awesome instructors. Not only did I learn alot about motorcycle riding and safety, they made it fun! Thanks to the guys for a great experience! See you on the road!!!
  
  Ellen
   
• I just finished the M2 course at Loyalist College in Belleville. I had never been on a motorcycle before and was feeling apprehensive. Our instructors Skip and John encouraged me and I was able to complete the course with a passing mark. I am now looking forward to getting my first bike and joining my friends on many easy trips. Thank you Skip for your patience and John for your expertise. My only concern was the fact that Loyalist College could have made a greater effort to secure the parking lot we were using. Our instructors, being safety conscience as they were, tried to advise people to not park where we were training, but didn't seem to have the backing of the college. I think something needs to be done about that. 
  
  Happy Trails!

• I had the opportunity to take my M2 course this weekend June 10th -12th in Ottawa at Algonquin College. I have to tell you that it really was one of the best experiences of my life. I'm a 47 year old woman who has been riding on the back of a bike for several years and thought it was time to become a rider myself. The group was a wide variety of ages. I have to say that the instructor's did a wonderful job at integrating the group and having all of us enjoy each other's company as well as the instructor's themselves. They were a kind, caring and very well trained group of instructor's. Norm who was the head of the instructor's is one of the most upbeat, enthusiastic and enjoyable people I've come across. Our team of instructor's were Norm, George, Judith, Jamie and Rob. As exhausting as the weekend was these individuals made it an exciting and wonderful experience. Hats off to all of you! Our victory ride was just that victorious.
  
  Thanks for all your work, patience and most of all leadership. 
  Alina
   
• I have just completed the m1 exit course in Kingston ending June 12th /11 , I went in to the course knowing what I "thought" were the basics . I learned far more than I could have expected from Mike, Ken and Martha. Great experience and definitely makes for better and more confident riders on the road. Instructors are patient and very knowledgeable with everyone. I would recommend this course to anyone getting into riding or even ones that already ride. 
  
  Thanks Again 
  Randy
    
• Just finished the M2 course last night and wanted to say it was well worth the time and money spent. I feel more confident and safer while riding now. Chris and Brian were excellent instructors, informative, patient and fun...nothin but kudos here
  
  Mike
   
• Bob,

  I just finished the M2 course at Algonquin and wanted to thank my instructors Mike, Cathie, Norm and Gwyn. It was clear that they were all very seasoned riders with lots of experience but what made the course excellent was their ability to deliver it. Although it was a fairly large class, they took the time to ensure all students got the right amount of instruction to ensure they got the confidence they needed to ride safely.

  The course itself was also very good. It was really cool to see students progressing over the 4 nights of riding and how knowingly or otherwise, the students built on the skills they learned the night before which lead to ALL of us passing.

  In short, excellent instructors, excellent course, a must for anyone thinking of getting on a bike or coming back after a break from riding and I will recommend this course and my instructors specifically to all my friends.

  See you guys in 18 months for the M2 exit.

  Stephane
   

• Hello,

  I just completed the M2 course in Whitby (June 17, 18, 19). I wanted to let you know how fantastic, caring, encouraging and dedicated your instructors are. Ryan, Cecil, John, Brian, Dan, Julie & Randy were examples of wonderful teamwork coupled with patience for novice riders such as myself. I have never imagined myself in the riders seat, but after an intense "bootcamp" (the heat didn't help either), I am able start a bike and ride it with confidence (however more practice is definitely required before I venture out to purchase my own bike). I had a fun weekend, made new friends with fellow students and certainly have so much respect for the hard work and dedication your instructors provide during their weekend. 
  
  Kindest Regards, 
  Henia Gora
    

• I took the M1 Exit course this past weekend and am very glad that I did. I have gained a confidence when riding, while at the same time am very aware of what I have to work on. I learned a lot and I am looking forward to taking the M2 Exit course in a couple of years. Thank you to Harold, Ed and Dave for your patience and guidance.
  
  Tammy
    
• I recently took the M2 Course in Belleville with John and Chip as the instructors and I just wanted to say what a fantastic job they do of teaching! I had NO experience on a bike and they took me all the way from being a nervous wreck to being a confident, informed and safe driver! John and Chip made learning fun and were very patient as we progressed through the course. It's been almost two weeks since I passed the course and I have just finished my first 100km ride - without this course I could have never accomplished that! Thanks so much and I look forward to taking the M2 exit course in a few years!

• Hello, I just completed the M1 exit course for women at Fleming College. I had taken the course back in 1998, however; I never ended up purchasing a bike, therefore my license expired. I thoroughly enjoyed the course for women only. It was very well organized and enriching. I will highly recommend the women only course to all my friends as it was educational, fun and less stressful then when I participated in the mixed gender course back in 1998. I enjoyed myself so much I am very interested in becoming a member of the educational team. I understand I will need to have my M license and plan on taking the M2 exit course next summer. Thank You and special thanks to Anita, Judith and Fred who made the weekend most enjoyable.

• Hi Mr. Weil. I recently attended your course at Durham College, Whitby.

  I wanted to write to tell you how impressed I was with the instructors and the program itself. In just 2 days I had witnessed an entire group of strangers who knew nothing about riding a motorcycle, turn into a group of laughing joking friends whipping around the parking lot like they had been doing so for years.
  
  I had a fantastic time and at the end of the course found the informational pamphlets and guides very helpful. The most value I got from that info was related to proper insurance coverage for my bike.
  
  As an Advisor with Sun Life Financial I noticed one thing that I thought riders could greatly benefit from that was not available in the pamphlets.
  
  For a recreational activity that brings so much joy there is a large risk associated with riding a motorcycle. I think it would be important to show riders how they can protect themselves and their families with both disability and Life ins specific to their riding patterns.
  
  If there is a way we can make this info available to your course participants, I would love the opportunity to work on this with you or your course manager.
  
  Kind Regards,
  Cole Morrison
    

• I just finished the class in Whitby. I just wanted to say it was great. I learnt alot and had a blast. The instructors where very encouraging and informative and I would/will recommend this course to anyone I know or meet.

• I just completed the M1 exit weekend course in Kingston and wanted to pass along how impressed I am with the instructors and the course. Harold, Martha and Mike were awesome! It was HOT out there and they remained cool and collect for us riders. They handled everyone as individuals, with respect and professionalism, always taking extra time to coach on our weaknesses whenever needed. I learnt so much this weekend and my confidence has never been higher. 
  
  Thanks everyone, it was a blast!

• Hi,
  My friend Kim and I were in the M2 course in Kingston, ON on the weekend of October 15, 2010. I wanted to take the time to write and tell you how much I enjoyed the course and how wonderful our instructors were. Bill, Devin and Maggie were excellent instructors and made the course fun, enjoyable and extremely informative.
  
  In 18 months I look forward to completing my M2 exit course with motorcyclecourse.com!
  
  Thanks for a wonderful weekend!

• Hi
  I took the course in August with a bunch of superb people. they know how to make you have fun and relax the instructors make you feel comfortable and love to joke with you. After my husband died I realized that life is too short and that getting on a motorcycle is something I never thought I would ever do and then a friend took me for a ride and that was it I fell in love with it. And 2 yrs later I have my own bike and love to ride and thanks to this course it made me feel alive again. thanks to all of you, you make riding such fun and safe and keep up the great work. 
  
  Thanks
  Joann

  Would just like you to know how very impressed I was with Ron Hare. He was informative, patient and fair, and overall an all around nice guy. Please give the pat on the back he deserves! 
  
  Thanks

• To Mr Bob Weil,
  
  I just wanted to let you know how fantastic the crew at the motorcycle safety course at Durham College Whitby were. I took this course over the weekend of Oct 15-17/10 and had as instructors Ron, John, Anita, Ryan, Dan and Julie. I am a complete novice having never ridden before and I can't say enough about how excellent the crew was. Dan even lent me his motorcycle jacket when the zipper on my leather jacket broke on Saturday. The pace at which they went was perfect for me (although I'm sure the first day was a little dry for experienced riders) and the atmosphere was amazing for learning. I want you to know what a top notch crew I think these guys are. I am buying my first motorcycle tomorrow and can't wait to get on the road and will waer full gear and all the great knowledge and safety tips I have learned. Thanks to the Whitby Crew for a job better than well done.

• I just wanted to thank Rick, Harold and Tom for the great job they did instructing my course on Sept 10-12/2010. I am a new rider and learned a huge amount of information in a short period of time and it really boosted my confidence level. I currently ride a cruiser style bike and find myself doing all the shoulder checks and ready positions that I did in the course. Keep up the good work.

• Wow.....What an awesome weekend spent learning how to properly ride a motorcycle. I just finished the M1 Exit Course on Sept 19, 2010 and I am totally amazed at how much I learned and how professional the instructors really are. They are all experienced riders and really know their stuff! What is more, they make the course exciting and a lot of fun. I would highly recommend this course to anyone who wants to learn how to ride a motorcycle from some fun loving professionals!

• I took my M1 exit Class in June, I was lucky enough to find a spot in the women\'s only class. I had a fantastic time and had a wonderful group of ladies to share the experience with. I had already taken the course two years ago here in Toronto and was unsuccessful. I can honestly say my dream to ride only became possible for two reasons, I felt more comfortable with the women only option. Secondly the instructors helped me find my confidence, I was ready to give up turn off the bike and walk away. Judith took me aside and helped me threw my nerves and frustration. Judith, Anita and Howard never gave up on me. Howard was kind enough to spend the last break with me going over and over the turns until I completed it successfully a few times. I passed the test and now have my M2 which is a huge accomplishment for me. I have framed my certificate show it with pride.
  
  This weekend my boyfriend completed his M2 exit and had a wonderful time. I was lucky enough to catch up with Anita and I was floored that she remembered me. To me this shows the passion and dedication of the instructors. This reinforced my decision to drive out to Peterborough from Toronto and will be hoping making the trip out for my M2 exit in the upcoming years.
  
  My only suggestion is that there continues to be a ladie's only group because I wouldn't have had it any other way.
  
  Thank you again for the wonderful time!

• I took the M2 course having never ridden a motorcycle before, but having been interested in riding for a long time. Leo and Bill were fantastic trainers, and made everything easy and fun to learn. It was a real boost in confidence, and I've gained some really great skills. Anyone who is even thinking of riding a motorcycle should take this course.

• Hi Bill, Dave and Skip, Thanks for the course. You guys are terrific.
  
  Thanks,

• Hi Bob, just wanted to say a huge thanks to the instructor team who taught at the Ottawa Algonquin campus on the weekend of Aug 20, 2010. Charlie, Doug, John, Mike and Pierre were a great team.
  
  Having never ridden before, I was extremely nervous. In spite of that, at all times, I felt safe and in control during the session. The instructors were all about safety and making sure that we understood the task at hand, while making sure that we had fun also (Doug). Each task was introduced slowly without the bike, repeated, and then demonstrated twice. Then we had many opportunities to practice it until we fully understood it. There was always an instructor close by to ensure that we individually understood prior to doing the tasks and to provide immediate feedback in a kind and professional manner.
  
  At the end of the session, I passed without even any demerits! Thanks so much guys - I succeeded and had lots of fun thanks to you.
  
  Cheers.

• Although I thanked Garth and his wife after the weekend, I ask that you pass this on to him if you would for me please.
  
  I wanted to thank Garth again for taking the time to teach us and to test us this past weekend for the M2 Exit course. I was described as a "seasoned rider" which is true, however one can always benefit from the knowledge and experience of others if one is open to doing so. Personally, I gained several key points from the course which I know will serve me well.
  
  The course was designed to cover numerous items that would surely help any rider. Interestingly when I went in to the Drive Test Center the next day, the person at the counter asked me how much the course cost me. After telling her she said that I could have saved a lot of money by simply taking the test with them directly. My reply was that if I had done I would not have learned some very important things and would not have been reminded of many others and that these many points are an investment in my life due to my improved ability to ride safely. So for the cost of the course, the investment is inexpensive and wise. She quickly declined further comment. :)
  
  Anyway, I just want to say thanks again to Dave and particularly Garth for their efforts.
  
  As with the M1 course, I highly recommend the M2 Exit course as well.
  
  Respectfully,
  Dr. Mike Storey
   
• I just finished the M exit course with Garth and Dave in Peterborough. It was a great weekend of learning and confidence building. We talked about safety and traffic rules, that I didn't know. Their professionalism and personalities made it so easy to relax and enjoy the whole experience. I know I am a safer more knowledgeable rider because of them. Thanks to the driver of the "Blocking vehicle" while I was tested. I will recommend these courses as a must have to everyone. 
  
  Thanks again.

• I took my M2 Exit course in Peterborough the first week of July and I just wanted to thank Bryce and Bill for without them I don't think I could have done it, they were very patient and I learned so much from this course, everyone should take it. Thanks again Bill and Bryce.

• Having never rode a motorcycle before and wanting to do it for at least 33 years now .. I finally bit the bullet and signed up for the course ... Needless to say the first day produced varying levels of internal jitters. Through their careful and detailed explanations and positive reinforcement techniques ..the instructors definitely made believers of us and before long we were actually riding motorcycles. I especially admired their coaching for improved performance every time as regards negative reinforcement...My charge from them is to go out and make the techniques I have been taught habitual.. Just to mention it Ron and the other instructors at Whitby, with their wealth of experiences are virtual treasure chests of information....I know just from the weekend I have become a better driver ..I\'m in my car and doing shoulder checks all the time now ...Thank you for allowing us to join this community and hats off to them for all their time, patience and understanding in helping to mould us into safe and responsible riders ....

• Had a blast. Thank you very much. John and Becky were excellent last Monday Tuesday Wednesday during my M2 course. See you when it is time for my M. 
  
  Darren
   
• I recently completed the M2 course with William, Devon and John. William is an excellent instructor! He kept the atmosphere light but professional so that we were relaxed, while still learning. He definitely know how to teach adult learners. Kudos!! Out on the course Devon was fantastic as well, with lots of encouragement and constructive criticism. I learned a lot that weekend and walked away being a more confident alert new driver. Every time I get on my bike now I can hear their voices reminding me of shoulder checks and looking ahead around the corner. Thanks so much. Hope to see you again when I return for the exit course.

• On July 12/10, I took part in the Introduction to Motorcycling course held at St. Lawrence College - Kingston Campus and had a great time. The weather was a little warm, but so were the personalities of the instructors and other students. Ron and Dave were just super ! I have been a passenger on my husbands bike on and off over the years and was a little nervous to be taking control of a bike myself. I am so glad that I took this course ! It was a great way to find out if I would be comfortable as a driver and could handle the shifting. This was a great confidence boost. I will soon begin working towards my M license after this great experience thanks to Ron and Dave and the other students of this class.

• Hello, I just want to let you know that I just recently finished my M2 Motorcycle course on the weekend and I want thank the incredible team at the Algonquin College (George, Judith, Cathie, Pierre and Marco) for teaching us in such a professional manner. I am a first time motorcycle driver and this course taught me so much. It has also given me all the confidence in the world to drive my bike safely. I would highly recommend this course to everyone out there. Again, many thanks to the great team at the Algonquin College Campus.

  Best Regards,

• This weekend I completed the M2 course at Algonquin College in Ottawa. I wanted to thank the wonderful instructors who offered their knowledge and experience in a patient, encouraging yet firm approach. Despite the overwhelming heat, they managed to focus our group while providing us with individual attention. George, Cathie, Pierre, Marco and Judith are all assets to the company.
  
  Thank you,

• I took the M2 course a few weekends ago in Kingston with Rick MacFarlane, Tom and John. I just wanted to say that instructors were great, the course is well designed, works well and is fun. I would recommend it to anyone who is thinking about taking up riding.

• Hello! Three weeks ago I took the Introduction to motorcycling and thoroughly enjoyed this course and the instructors were great. Now, I just completed the M2 ladies weekend course on June 26th in Peterborough. I just wanted to let you know the instructors, Anita, Judith and Howard were all outstanding. And I was extremely impressed with their patience and encouragement that they gave to all the students. I would highly recommend these courses to anyone thinking of getting on a bike.

• Hello Bob

  I participated in the M2 course at Fleming College on June 11, 12 & 13 with John Fox, Cecil & Brian. Just wanted to let you know I enjoyed a well organized and progressive course with great instructors. I would recommend it to anyone.
  
  Thanks and best regards

• I recently completed the M2 course at Durham College over the weekend & I felt obligated to send off an email with regards to how great the facilitators were! They are fantastic teachers and always have a positive attitude. Being a new rider, I was a little intimidated by the whole process. But Gary & Ryan ensured that the course went at a pace that allowed me to learn everything while keeping it fun. The constructive criticism was positive, while not being harsh enough to affect ones confidence. I just want to say a big thank you to Gary & Ryan & the rest of the staff (who's names escape me..).

• I just completed the M2 course in Kingston. The instructors, Harold, John and Dave made it fun but it was safe and when we finished the weekend and were preparing for the evaluation as nervous as we felt the instructors made us feel confident that we were prepared, and we were!!! Thanks for a great weekend, I'll be back for the M2 Exit Course.
  
  Michele
   
• Hi There, I took my M2 course a couple weekends ago. My instructors were Harold, Martha and Ken. Before taking the course I had only ever been a passenger on a bike. I was terrified and somewhat sick to my stomach on the two days prior to the course, due to the anticipation. I'm now addicted to riding! :) Harold, Martha and Ken were all so patient and full of helpful tips. They were always giving positive feed back and stayed very positive with the entire class. When I see other instructors in their red uniforms, I make sure to stop and share my story. I do this because I feel it's important they hear first hand what they are taking part in. I took this course to help with post traumatic stress caused from my last two years of work in Haiti. Riding my bike frees my mind and puts a giant smile on my face. Thanks for teaching me how to ride it! :)

• I just finished the Gearing Up course at Durham College and wanted to say that it was awesome! As someone who had never ridden a bike before, the instructors taught at the perfect pace making me more comfortable than I ever thought possible! Also, just wanted to say that Stacey was great - how nice to have a supportive female instructor when you're just learning!
  
  Jen
   
• Hi Bob
  I took the course on May 28th weekend and i just want to tell you how great that team of instructors are. I was a little nervous on Friday evening but the instructor said its all about having fun. He said the passing rate is 98% and that eased my mind, not to mention that he said we can do the retest at another time if we happen to get testitous. I can't remember everyone's name but they were all great especially Stacey and Matt they were very encouraging and helpful and didn't laugh at me when I couldn't start the bike because I forgot to push the starter. I will recommend this course to anyone and I will be back to do the M2 exit with you. I feel a lot better getting out on the road with all the knowledge they gave me. 
  
  Thank you again,
  Colleen
   
• Just completed M2 Exit course at Whitby, (my wife and I) May21 to 23/10. Despite advancing years(50+) and busy long weekend traffic, both Bill and Ron were fantastic. Great coaching, relaxed and positive manner at all times. Cannot say enough about those two fine instructor/examiners and the high quality of the training provided. It meant over 2.5 hours travel each way, and 2 nights hotel, but we'd do it again to get to work with these gentlemen if required. Keep up the great work....and for all those old geezers out there dreaming about getting their bike license, do it with Durham. Best there is anywhere.....and we have been to several others.

• Hi, I took the M2 in Oct of 07 and loved it. I just finished the M2 exit course last weekend hosted by Tim & Becky. They were TERRIFIC!!!! Knowledgeable and great instructors, told it like it is. Can't say enough good things about this course, you'd be a fool not to take either one if your riding a bike.

• Just wanted to let you know that the course that was given this past weekend, May 15, 16 and 17 of 2010 was awesome! The three instructors, Leo, Mike and Brian were incredible. They were very professional and made learning new things fun and easy. They were great instructors and should be given cootos for the way they lead the weekend and how understanding they were with all of us. They made the weekend very enjoyable and I would recommend this course to everyone!!

• I just took your motorcycle course this weekend (May 14 -16) I was a little nervous to take the course as I have not been riding for very long and was scared of the unknown. I felt very comfortable after the first nite due to Leo who took us through the orientation. Leo is an excellent teacher who has great interpersonal skills. The second day we had Leo, Mike and Bryan, who also have excellent interpersonal skills and leadership skills, they had the ability to make all of us feel at ease which is an accomplishment. I had a lot of fun as well as gaining a ton of knowledge, so much that i went home and went for a ride with my husband and felt very confident with my riding, it was a great feeling thanks to your course and most of all your instructors......you did and excellent job hiring Leo, Mike and Bryan.....pls give them the recognition they deserve. i know I will be coming back to do the M2 exit course, and I have already recommended this course to a few friends.

  Thank you

• I just completed the M2 course at Fleming College last weekend (05/16/10) and am amazed I actually completed it! I was so uncomfortable with my skill level at the end of the first day that I almost didn't come back Sunday, but my instructors, Bryce, Bill and John G, were insistent that I was doing fine and would really enjoy myself the second day on the bike. They were absolutely right, but mostly because they were encouraging and patient enough to make me feel confident in myself. My skill level by the end of the day Sunday was leaps and bounds ahead of where I ended on Saturday. By the way, if you\'re thinking of taking the weekend course, be prepared to be very tired by the end of the day Saturday! You should order dinner in that night and plan to stay home! This was money very well spent and I would like to once again thank Bryce Norman, Bill (?), and John Gruihn for their excellent teaching, patience and encouragement in making a new rider out of a former passenger!
  
  Kim
   
• Bryce/John/Bill I just wanted to say thanks for a great weekend. Notwithstanding the lessons learned, I think what I was most impressed by was the positive constructive feedback. Riding seems to be as much about confidence as it is technique. Thanks again, and I see you at the M2 exit course.
  
  Vince
   
• I would just like to compliment all of the trainers on their attitudes, knowledge and communication skills. I just graduated from the M2 course over the weekend of May 14-16 in Ottawa at Algonquin College. I went from being a dirt bike rider when I was younger and not so confident to a fully confident ready to ride on the road. To watch them work with those that were struggling and keep them motivated on to give up was amazing. Werner, Norm, George and Rocco were wonderful and I can't remember the girls name but she too was awesome. Great job and I will recommend this to everyone considering getting into riding. Happy to be part of the riding community. Great Job everyone and thanks : )

• Just completed my exit coarse at Peterborough. Had a great time even with
  the bad weather. Gary Bennett and his partner were great  Made the whole
  thing fun  Keep up the good work

• I took the course on May 7, 8 and 9th. The weather was terrible but what a better way to learn how to ride in the elements. Ray, Lisa and Chris were great they took the time to help you with the corrections you needed. I never thought I needed a course at my age but I learned a lot and was able to correct my bad habits. Thanks for a great learning experience. One thing needed thou is a port a potty up in the parking lot. 
  
  Thanks 
  John
   
• I have recently completed the motorcycle course in Belleville this past weekend (April 30-May 2, 2010). The teaching techniques of the instructors involved, John Milner, Brian Hupe and Skip Solomon were impressive to say the least. Being 51 years old and having never been on a bike in my life, the task at hand seemed daunting. As a novice, I found the course intense but if it wasn't for the competence and patience exhibited by all three instructors, I likely would've packed it in. They taught me to respect both the bike and my personal safety foremost . With this in mind, the enjoyment of motorcycle riding can be fully appreciated as the exciting endeavour it was meant to be. 
  
  Thanks again guys!

• I recently took the M2 course in Kingston (23/24/25 April) and had thought that I wouldn't get much out of it having had a bike in the UK 10 years or so ago. How wrong could I be?? Very. Ron, John, and Dave, where professional, helpful, and patient, and made the course interesting with little anecdotes. Thoroughly recommend these courses.
  
  Paul
   
• I take the course at the Whitby for my M1 exit and it was a lot of fun and helpful. Very good teacher. I will recommend the course to everybody . THANK YOU to all for the beautiful weekend APRIL 9-10-11 it was good. Love the bike thank you to the bike sponsor.
  
  Robert
   
• The instructors for this past weekend course (Apr 23-25, 2010), Ron, John, and Dave, were most professional and very informative. I wanted to relay my gratitude of their outstanding performance and conduct of the training. I believe I have learned many skills and techniques that perhaps would have taken me several years to learn and develop.
  
  The class noted that there should be a follow-up survey or critique of the training; therefore, I would like that you could please pass on this appreciation to whomever is responsible for assessing the instructors for the M2 course.
  
  Sincerely,
  Dennis Davidson
   
• Great course and hot instructors. This course is perfect for women as you spend endless hours turning around in a parking lot just like you do at the mall with your husband trying to find that perfect parking spot that is that much closer to the door. Of course I'm kidding. The course was well laid out with very knowledgeable and patient instructors. Ron, Dave, and John were very professional and offered priceless mentoring. Our focus was on safety which was of first priority, however we all had a great deal of fun at the same time. I am recommending it highly to everyone, men and women alike. 
  
  Thank you
  Mary
   
• Just completed the M2 course at the Whitby campus and it was a GREAT weekend! Had such a good time with John, Julie and the rest of the crew. Made some new friends and got to ride all weekend! Nothing better than that! I definitely plan on taking the M2 exit course with you guys in the future! One suggestion-need to update the in class computer, it lags quite a bit! haha! Thanks again for making the course so amazing!! See you soon!! =)
  
  Natasha
   
• To Bob, This Thanksgiving weekend I was successful in completing the M2 course. I would like to say how wonderful the instructors are. John and Julie. I would have never had the skill or confidence had it not been for the course. Money well spent. I believe the small class size really was a benefit along with nice weather. Your computer equipment for the classroom presentations is all that could be improved on. 
  
  Thanks, from the Whitby Campus
  Julie
   
• Wow! just finished the M2 course. I have never ever been on a motorcycle before, I never even sat on one. My instructors names are Brian L , Gene Roberts and John Gruihn. They didn't just mold me into a comfortable rider, they made me a better person. The temperament, cadence enthusiasm and patience they displayed not only with me but with every rider in the course are the tools for a fulfilling life. I saw a lot of "moments in time" on the faces of everyone in that class, including our instructors. I think this experience would be the equivalent of a hockey fan getting lessons from Wayne, Mario, and Bobby. In closing the class of 15 Oct 2-4 a "Moment In Time"
  
  Roy
   
• Bob, I never had the chance to meet your other instructors, but Gary, John, Stacey and Chris did an amazing job on the weekend of Sept 18th - 20th. If you did something wrong, they pointed it out to you, and that was the end of it. They did not bring it up to everyone else afterwards. I gained a TON of confidence, and have already been telling everyone what a great course it is and the great instructors teaching it! Thank you so much, and look forward to meeting more instructors in the M2 Exit course!

• I took my course at Fleming College just this past weekend On Sept 18- 20. My instructors for the course were Fred Benjamin, and John Gruihn. What fantastic guys, at first I was really nervous about this new adventure, then I wanted to quit but Fred and John wouldn't hear of it... they were behind me 110% ensuring that I learned all there was to learn about motorcycle riding and safety. I can say that I had a smile on my face the whole weekend and the guys really made it all worth while. I told them that I would be back for my M2 exit, and FRED I WILL BE BACK AND WILL BE DOING THE M2 EXIT COURSE, LOVE YOU GUYS. 
  
  Sherry
   
• I took the M1 Exit course last weekend and wanted to let you know that you\'ve got a great group of instructors. Gary, Chris Stacey and John managed to get everybody riding (and even corrected a few of my bad habits). They were all very supportive and were always there to answer questions. Thanks for a great weekend & I'll definitely be coming back for my M2 exit in a couple of years.

  Glenn
   

• Thanks to Ron Hare for the M2 exit course Sept 18, 19, 20, 2009. Ron provided an environment where I was able to identify and correct weaknesses in my motorcycling habits. In addition to completing my M license, I am a safer driver. Thanks RON!

• Instructors Rick McFarlane & Bill Crosier were just Excellent at Kingston Aug 28-30 in the rain all weekend. We learned lots and just loved it. Great guys.
  
  Jim
   
• I just completed the motorcycle training course held at Loyalist College September 11, 12, 13 put on by instructors John Milner and Byron Dube. Although I have held my M license since the early 70\'s riding off/on ever since I thought it was due time to refresh my skills/technique. I found the course very interesting and learned new things over the 2.5 days. The instructors were very informative and ran the course well. I would strongly recommend that every M rider look into taking this course at some time. The only disappointment is that my current insurance company doesn't recognize this course once you already have a M license? You would think any insurance company and MTO would gladly appreciate and promote a policy holder improving his or her skills.

• Hi there...I attended and passed the M1 exit in Kingston Sept 11-13 2009. Rick Mcfarlane and David Orr were exceptional instructors. My only experience before the training was riding around the block a few times which was very scary. I went out today on my 1995 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R with confidence and practiced my newly learned skills with plenty of shoulder checks. Thanks Rick and David for a great weekend....no doubt worth every penny.

• I just took the M2 motorcycle course this past weekend and was thoroughly impressed with the knowledge and demonstrations provided by instructors Bill, Devon and Dave...not to mention the humour! After completing the course on Sunday I took my own motorcycle out and being a new rider, was able to apply many of the principles and techniques that were taught during the course. Thank you again for a successful, enjoyable weekend. See you at the M2 exit course!
  
  Lori
   
• Big thanks to Mike and Fred at the Fleming College course. Awesome instructors, great guys, and had tons of fun.

• Been meaning to give some feedback from the M2 course I took in Kingston in July.
  
  THANK YOU to Bill and company for some excellent instruction. The repetition and exaggerated examples really stuck in my head - and there have been more than a couple of times in the past months that their voices or images came to me at the right time to avoid pain/trouble.
  
  Great course - will be back for the M2 Exit in a couple of years!

• Just a quick thank you to the gang at Durham this past weekend (Aug 21-23). From the young newbie, to the bucket list gang, and the experienced riders, all were treated with patience and respect no matter what our bad habits. A great team of instructors, Mike (smile), Cecil (Is your paperwork right), Trevor (jokes get better by Sunday), Stacey (you held your own in spite of all that testosterone around), Ray, Chris, Dan and Brian made it all worth while. Recommend to all to take this course, it is well worth it. 
  
  Thanks again and hope to see ya on the road sometime. 
  Rick
   
• I took the M2 course at Fleming College in Peterborough on August 7, 8 & 9th and it was excellent. The instructors were extremely knowledgeable and helpful. I will recommend this to anyone I know. Instructors were Ray, Howard and Lisa. Again, they were superb and the course was very well laid out. No complaints from anyone who took the course that day.

• I just completed the M2 course in Whitby yesterday. Well worth the money! I used to ride, but let my license lapse. This spring I got the \"fever\" again and decided to upgrade my scooter for a cruiser. The course reinforced some solid basics and definitely made me feel much more confident! I can hardly wait to hit the open road knowing I have the skills necessary to avoid unforeseen hazards. The staff were very knowledgeable, approachable and extremely supportive. They definitely made you feel at ease. Great course! Keep up the good work! I most definitely plan to take the M2 Exit course with you folks. Thanks to McJamie, Julie, Brett, Tony, Matt, Ron, Dan and Gary!

• This weekend I took the M1 exit course and it was a blast plus I learned a lot not just on how to ride and be safe etc. but also on the car point of view (meaning that I now understand why bikes do certain things on the road to make themselves visible and to stay out of danger etc; I am a professional driver (A/Z license) and it all makes sense.) I would like you to thank Trevor Mills team (Rick and Ed) only experience I had to do with bikes was using a 4 wheeler for hunting and around the farm and had no motorbike experience. Rick and Ed were really good to the whole group and gave very good useful and helpful criticism. Trevor he was awesome he is funny and knows how to deal with each individual and would make you laugh when you made a mistake and would explain things in easy terms that you would understand. Above all he has great patience especially for me since I was a rookie etc. but all in all they are really good instructors the course was fun and I learned a lot tell the Team I said thanks again and I am looking forward to getting a bike A.S.A.P. and taking the M2 exit with them in due time.
  
  Thanks again

• Aug. 9 finished and graduated from a very educational course with Lisa, Ray and Howard. Excellent instructors all around. I will highly recommend.
  
  With sincere thanks,

• Just passed the M2 Course in Kingston at St Lawrence College (July 24,25,26) and am so glad I took the course. I've heard nothing but good things about the course, and believe me, it is worth every single penny :) Bill, Maggie and Tom were absolutely amazing instructors, very knowledgeable, experienced, and made the course very enjoyable and a lot of fun. I now have my first sticker for my helmet and my first pin for my jacket :) I absolutely recommend this course to anyone out there who is considering it, you will be very pleased with the course and the instructors. Hope to see you all again one day, thanks again Bill, Maggie and Tom!!!

• I recently completed the M2 course in Belleville and am extremely satisfied with the course content and the professionalism of the instructors (Leo, George & Judith). The course had a positive learning curve and the instructors ensured everyone was having a good time and learning at the appropriate pace. Didn't hurt to have a group of individuals that immediately clicked and the laughing never stopped the whole weekend. I got my first bike a week before the course ('04 BMW R1200C) and feel my confidence and skill level increasing during each ride as I constantly remember what I learnt on course. I want to say thanks to all as I continue to enjoy my new passion and look forward to taking the M2 Exit course when it becomes available in Belleville, hopefully before or when I reach my 18 month M2 limit.
  
  Thanks again, excellent training!

• My son and I took the M2 course on July 17th 2009 at Whitby (Durham college). I feel compelled to send an email to praise the instructors that took us through the course. I am new to riding and was surprised by just how much I learned, and how a huge a difference it made to the enjoyment of riding. I know that instructing is their job, but all of them went way beyond doing a job. Without the constant support and encouragement I got from all the instructors, I don't think I could have mastered what I needed to pass the M2 test. I am just a bit sad it wasn't a 2 week course as I had more fun with them than I thought possible. Please let these great instructors know that thanks to them, I can now ride and have a blast instead of always being nervous and worried. I just cant say enough about the experience, as even now I am still blown away by it. I wish I could remember all of their names, but I'm really bad with names, so let me call them friend. 
  
  Thank you so much from someone that will carry this experience for all time.

• My wife Apryle and myself just completed the M1 course July 17,18,19 at Durham College. We would like to extend our thanks to all the instructors that ran the course. We feel the course was very educational , informative and thorough. The instructors just don\'t teach you how ride but also teach you to respect motorcycle riding. We felt your instructors truly cared about passing on their knowledge and experience to make us better drivers. We recommend this course to everyone from beginners to someone just wanting to sharpen their skills. 
  
  Thanks again, 
  Miles and Apryle 
  PS Mike, "How's your momma" (the wave) and have a SAFE ride.
   
• I've just completed your M2 course at Fleming College with Trevor, Paula and Julie. It was very refreshing as a female rider to have female instructors. This is my second time through the M2 course in the last 10 years. I purchased a motorcycle 3 weeks prior to attending. I knew I had the basic skills to ride, but the repetitive low speed maneuvers and push and counter steering, have given me back the confidence I need to ride on the street. A BIG THANK YOU to all. Fabulous instruction and well worth the time and money.

• I just completed the M2 course in Peterborough with Julie, Paula and Trevor. I was so impressed with all three of them. At times, when I found the activities very challenging and was frustrated, they were right there to encourage me to keep trying. They were very friendly and empathetic and made the course fun to take. 
  
  Thanks for everything guys.

• I just recently completed the July 17, 18 and 19th M2 training course at the Whitby Durham College Campus and I would just like to pass along my compliments. Each and every instructor provided invaluable guidance to all participants. Their words of advice will surely make all of us better, safer and more defensive minded riders. I especially appreciated the light hearted approach they used. It made for an enjoyable weekend, while providing a great atmosphere for learning ( I'm still laughing at some of Randy's antics). In fact, on Saturday night alone, I convinced three people to sign up! Anyway, kudos to the entire group. Once I have a couple of years of riding experience, I would be very interested in becoming an instructor myself.
  See you on the road.
  
  Kindest regards,
  Bob
   
• Just a note to say how good the m2 course was on 07/17/09 and that the instructors were great. Trevor/Paula/Julia.

• I just completed the M2 exit course through Durham College. The instructors Gary and Devin were excellent. They both offered great advice during the in-class and on-road portions of the course. I felt very confident while taking the Sunday test. I recommend this course to any M2 licensed rider.
  
  Scott
   
• I just finished the course at Loyalist College and want to thank Leo, George & Judith for giving me a great weekend. I started off not sure what to expect. But by Saturday lunch I was feeling very confident. Thumbs up to you all. And I thank you again for making the weekend great. You were terrific in your teaching and making me feel one with my bike. 
  
  Keep up the good work guys.. :)

• I just wanted to send some feedback over on how great the M1 exit course I just participated in was. It was located at Durham College and it was the week night sessions from July 6-9. All of the instructors were great, and coming from a female perspective having a female instructor on the course made a great difference in the level of confidence for myself, and I know for other female riders. All of the instructors were extremely knowledgeable, friendly, fun, and went above and beyond what was required of them. I would recommend this course to any of my friends who were interested in getting their licence.

  Thanks again,
  Mackinley Cockburn
   

• Dear Jeanine, Skip & Harold,

  With me playing the role of "old dog" this past weekend, you proved that an old dog can learn new tricks. It may just take longer than for younger dogs. With patience, persistence and excellent teaching methods, you got me successfully through the M2 course. THANKS! I work in the Teacher Education Department at New York University in Potsdam. A former M2 course graduate uses your course as an example of "Experiential Education" in a presentation he does for our student teachers. They love it and it works there too. Keep up the great work!

  Sincerely,
  Hugh
   

• I attended your M1 course this weekend at Fleming College in Peterborough. It was excellent!! The trio of Dave, Garth and Bryce were wonderful teachers who made the course a lot of fun. It was a pleasurable weekend, and a great way to learn and meet fellow bikers.

  Please pass on my thanks once again,
  Nick Pyle.
   

• I just completed the M2 course on the weekend. The instructors were terrific. They had my attention from the getgo...yet allowed the students the freedom to learn in a relaxed environment. We covered a lot of information...it was done with great thought to the process of learning...and there was a genuine interest is assisting those that required additional help...I don't think anyone should even consider riding a bike without first completing a course like this...it actually should be mandatory...It will and likely has saved lives...
  
  Tim
    
• I just finished the M2 Exit course and received my full M license. I would love to thank my instructors, Ryan and Ron, they did an amazing job teaching me the rules and proper safety on the road. I enjoyed myself throughout the course, and will recommend it to all my friends...Thanks again for such a great teaching course.
  
  Natalie
   
• This course should be mandatory for all new riders. The instructors, (Gwen, Brett, Mike, Pierre and John), were fantastic and taught everyone how to ride safe and be safe. It was very enjoyable and overall rating A+. Thank you to all of the instructors!
  
  Andrew
   
• I took and completed the M2 Course that was held at Loyalist College on June 19, 21 & 21st 2009. The instructors were John, Bill & McSkip (I didn't remember his name) and all of them were very amazing. All three instructors were very knowledgeable and presented their instructions well to the class. They are the reason that I am now out on the road with my little 250 Suzuki enjoying the sites. Without them I would still be in the parking lot trying to get the gist of everything. Hats off to the three of them as it helped me tremendously. 
   
  Patty Keller
   
• I successfully completed my M2 class this past weekend, July 3-5 at Algonquin College in Ottawa. Thanks to the instructor\'s dedication and patience. This class should be MANDATORY for all newly licensed motorcyclists. I would have liked to have had some practical time starting and stoping on inclines. Practical time with a live passenger may certainly not be "prudent" with new student motorcyclists, but it certainly would be practical to try riding with a 100lbs+ load saddled to the back seat somehow, simply to feel the difference in handling, start/stops, etc. Great overall and I intend on taking the M2 exit class as well. Merci!
  
  Marcel
   
• I attended your M2 course this past month at the Algonquin college campus. Our instructors were Gwyneth, John, Doug, Rocco and Greg. I would like to thank each and every one of them for their enthusiasm, encouragement and teaching style. They went the extra mile to make sure each student was comfortable and had fun learning. Everything that seemed intimidating and daunting at the beginning of an exercise was achievable and fun in the end. I have recommended the course highly to a number of people and will be back myself for the M2 exit course when the time comes. Gwen, Doug, John, Rocco and Greg you guys (and gal) rock.
  
  Anne
   
• I took the course on the weekend and it was an experience of a lifetime. Anita, Judith and Julie are amazing, patient and caring people and I owe them a big thank you ! One thing I would like to suggest to add to the course, if I may, is to learn how to pick up a downed motorcycle in a proper and controlled setting. Thanks again, for the fun, the confidence and the knowledge. Ride safe ! 
   
  Sandy
   
• I took the Kingston course a few weekends ago (June 12th) with Martha, Ken and Alex and would like to extend my appreciation for all their patience and hard work. This was an excellent course, taught by excellent instructors who made the experience fun and definitely worthwhile (I've already recommended it to others).

  Thank-you! :)
  Nathan
   

• I would like to send my thanks to John, Bryan and Bill who guided us successfully through our course this past weekend (19-21 Jun 09 in Belleville). Their instruction was excellent, their humour was abundant and their patience was perfect. I had heard so many good things about this course and they were all bang on. Tell the boss to give them a raise.
  
  Dave
   
• I wanted to take the time to write you and let you know how great your motorcycle trainers are.

  I took your course last weekend, Jun 19, 20,21. John, Randy, Dan, Chris, Trevor, Matt, Julie and Ed, (hope I didn't leave anyone out) were amazing!

  Randy aka John was way too funny, by the way!

  These people are pros. What a great job they did teaching us. They were patient and took the time to get everyone ready for the "marked evaluation" They were just great. They taught us skills that we shall take throughout our riding careers and stay alive! Skills that are "priceless".

  I want to thank them all, and let them know I bought a Suzuki Boulevard 650!!!!!

  This is the beginning of the rest of my life!

  Thanks for all the skills. You are all #1 with me!

  Sincerely;
  Annette Drew
   

• Hi Everybody! I just wanted to say thanks to Bill, Bryan, & John, on the M1 Course at Loyalist College in Belleville, for all of the training and advice. With me being a first time driver, I learned a lot and will continue to use all the training that you gave me. The trainers were very patient, helpful, funny, and knowledgeable. I also took this course with my 16 year old son, who has been riding since he was 6, and he also learned a lot of techniques on this course. 
   
  Paula
   
• Completed the course June 19-21 at Belleville location with John, Bill and Bryan. Instruction/teaching was exceptional, The instructors were extremely knowledgeable and highly experienced, they showed great respect and concern for all students. Course layout and material was all relevant and helpful. I heard great reviews prior to taking the course and now I know why.
  
  Chris Z
   
• I just finished the M2 training course at St. Lawrence College in Kingston. I can't say enough about the overall experience. The instructors, Harold, Janine and Tom were fantastic. I will definitely recommend this course to anyone interested in obtaining their M2 and I will definitely be back for my M2 exit course. 
  
  Thanks for a great weekend.
  Andy
   
• My husband and myself just completed the M1X program at durham college and your instructors are great. I\'m a woman over 40 and had never driven a motorcycle. They made me relax and feel confident that I could do what they asked if I followed their direction. I did do it and I passed. Thanks goes out to my excellent instructors, you guy's are great.

• M2 Exit Course Date - June/12/2009
  Chris & Ron were great instructors. I learned a great deal from both of them during those three days. I would strongly recommend this course to anyone regardless of their skill level prior to taking their M2 exit test.
  
  Chris
   
• Just want to take this time to thank Martha and Ken Steacy and Alex Bailey for their expert training. I learned so much and feel I gained a lot of confidence. I highly recommend the M2 training course. The instructors made it easy and fun to learn. I had an absolute blast this past weekend in Kingston. My hat's off to the three of you. Thanks for the great training and time I had.
  
  Sincerely;
  Joan S.
   
• Just finished the M2 Course. Cannot say enough about the staff, John, Skip, Mike & Brian. They were very encouraging and made us lighten up (enjoy the ride!)  Had a blast! Will recommend to all my friends.  Learned so much and enjoyed myself too!
  
  Keep on doing what you do guys...IT WORKS!!!

• Having been widowed six years ago and turning the big '50' this year, I have decided that I need to do something exciting and somewhat out of character for me!! The idea of getting out on the open road has always looked appealing, but seemed rather intimidating to me. I had never rode before and knew that I needed a course to help with my skills and mostly my confidence. I just completed 'Gearing Up' (M2 course) in Kingston, ON last weekend. It was incredible! Not only did the instructors help in building my confidence to ride, they have most certainly left me with some important defensive skills and knowledge of the sport. Although it was a full and very tiring weekend, the course was a terrific balance of knowledge, skill and FUN! A special thanks to my instructors - Rick, Ken and Martha - you are very brave souls!! Being an Agent for a D&V Licence Office and having access to many new riders, I will most certainly recommend 'Gearing Up' to all!! 
  
  Thanks again to Rick, Ken and Martha! 
  Katie J.
   
• I just completed the M2 course at Fleming College in Peterborough. The instructors, John and Judith, were amazing. They some how got the 9 people in my group, all of various riding experience, to pass the course, feel confident on a bike and have loads of fun over the 2 1/2 days. I learned lots and lots about riding, bikes and road safety. I am grateful to the instructors and this course for giving me a chance to experience the open road! 
  
  Ride safe everyone and smile! 
  Karen
   
• Wow what a great weekend. I walked into the course held at Loyalist College June 5, 6 and 7, 2009 not knowing a thing and walked away with my M2. Hats off to the three great instructors! As soon as the word "test" came about Sunday I thought I might as well pack it in. The three instructors Bill, McJamie and Devon "You Know who you are" helped me through a really tense time. I will recommend this course to anyone who is interested in this great sport. The course was great I walked away with my M2 and some sore body parts but it was a wonderful weekend all round.
  
  Thanks Guys,
  Anita Young 
    
• I just finished the M2 course in Peterborough this past weekend (May 29 - 31, 2009) with Trevor, Mike and Chris. I wanted to send you a quick note to let you know that the team was amazing. They were well spoken, kind, patient and definitely helped to build my confidence.
  
  It was a pleasure learning with guys who made it fun. Congratulations on assembling such a great team of teachers.
  
  Lisa Dow
   
• I just recently finished the M2 course in Peterborough on May 31, 2009. I was so nervous going into this class. Trevor, Chris and Mike were the absolute best. I could not have asked for a more patient and understanding team. They never made you feel like you couldn't do it, they would always stay positive and help whenever you needed with a smile. I would recommend to anyone interested in getting there Motorcycle Licence to take this course. I accomplished things that I would never have believed I could and it was all due to the outstanding efforts of all the instructors. My thanks to you all for such a rewarding experience.
  
  Debbie
   
• I have just completed my M2 training at Durham College in Whitby, Ont. May 24/09. It was one of the best experiences I have ever had at a training course. The instructors were fantastic. When you did do something incorrectly they would help you and advise you without making you nervous. I myself now fully understand the push/pull theory and why it is so important to look at where you are going and not look down. Keeping the knees against the tank at all times. What a difference that makes. I would advise everyone new and experienced riders to take this course. The training team I had was outstanding and fun. 
  
  Thank You so very much for such an enjoyable experience. See you in 18 months.

• Instructors: Bill (William), Bryce, Garth. 
  I recently completed the M2 course on May 24th with the above instructors. going into this course I felt confident as a rider however I also knew this course would be of benefit based on my friends comments. As professional and serious as the instructors were with respect to safety, rider awareness and diligence, they also ensured we were comfortable with what we were practicing and that we enjoyed our time at the course. Friday evening left me with an intensified fear of the dangers of driving a motorcycle which in turn raised my defensive driving awareness. Saturday and Sundays methods of teaching both beginner level and high speed manouevres left with a greater degree of confidence as a new driver! These three gentlemen, in my eyes were exceptional trainers with a very high degree of expertise! My confidence as a new driver is now tenfold, knowing how to better handle my motorcycle in the event of a hazardous or dangerous situation on the road. I hope to maybe one day be a part of this team so I too can offer experienced instruction to new riders. Hats off to these gentlemen and thank you for all your dedication and hard work to such a great experience and future leisure time!
  
  Sincerely,
  Jeff Goheen
   
• I attended the M2 Course in Belleville May 8-10 2009. I have to say Leo, Skip and Bill were the most awesome people that weekend!!!
  
  Having never touched the handlebars of a bike before, I had myself all worked up and stressed out that I wasn't going to do well. I really put the pressure on myself and was concerned about how I'd make it on Sunday. The instructors had a magic way of articulating and calming the nerves. If they were frustrated with "the most challenging student ever" (me) They never showed it but assisted and gave great tips. I left the course with confidence that I can ride! and took my own 750 out for the first time last night! If I can do it..Anyone can! I highly recommend the course. Thanks Leo , Skip and Bill You are great, patient, and articulate instructors and deserve a ton of Kudos!!! 
  
  THANKS!!!!

• Joy,
   
  1. I had an eye opening experience and learned so much to improve my riding skills with confidence.
  2. Both Chris and Tim are instructors who really care about rider safety. The layout of the course was perfect.
  3. My expectations were exceeded as I had more to learn and master than originally thought.
  4. See point 2.

  I would be interested in future refreshers on motorcycle safety and riding programs.
  
  Best Regards,
  Todd
   

• I just finished the M2 course this weekend at Algonquin College in Ottawa. I just wanted to take a moment to thank Brett and his team. I learned so many things that I will hopefully remember for a life time. There is no doubt that this course will at some point save my life. And I will surely never forget to do my shoulder checks (looking for Charlie hanging off the back with all his might trying to teach me a lesson) 
  
  Thanks again, I'll see you on the open road!

• Hi, I just finished the M2 course at Durham college and wanted to say what a fun and educational experience it was. The instructors this weekend, (May 10) were totally awesome! I would recommend this course to everyone. 
  
  Thanks and Kudos

• I took the M1 Exit course @ Algonquin College and I would recommend this course to everyone. Learned a lot and had lots of fun and met great people. The instructors were awesome.

• For forty years I had dreamed of getting back on my own powered cycle but family and finances always got there first. Now that I am retired and sitting on a nest egg I felt it was time that the dream hatched. But, I promised myself that I would not jump on my new tourer and start rolling without first taking the Motorcycle Refresher course. Thank God I did! It was a very humbling experience but I gained so much more understanding of the realities of riding on today's roads. My hat's off to John and Brian for the terrific job they did for all of us in the April 29-30, 2009 session at Belleville. Not only am I better prepared to sally forth on two wheels now but I know that the experience has probably also made me a safer driver in a four wheel vehicle. Thanks to everyone in the Motorcycle Training programs for their dedication to safer motorcycling.

• May 3rd, 2009 I completed and passed my M1 Exit course in Kingston. I would recommend this course to anyone who would like to learn to ride a bike. The instructors are wonderful, they are patient, knowledgeable and make sure you have fun while being taught. I had a great time while working hard and learning lots.
  
  Keep up the good work Mike, Ray and Bill.
  
  Rhonda
   
• I took the course on the May 1st weekend of 2009 and I wanted to let you folks know you did an excellent job! Everything ran so smoothly - so organized. I think we all had a great time and learned a TON. John, Lisa and Howard were fantastic. They taught us critical skills while keeping the atmosphere fun. I'll be back for my M2 Exit! Thanks again and keep up the great work.

• Just completed course at Whitby and wanted to say thanks for putting this course together. Although I have ridden many years ago and figured I knew it all, your team showed me how wrong I was. Great group of instructors. Will recommend this course for all my friends and especially for my daughters. Thanks for your professionalism and making a rainy weekend lots of fun.

• I took the motorcycle course this past weekend (April 24-26) at Durham College. I want to commend the staff that were working that weekend. I started the course Friday night and had never even sat on a motorcycle before. Today, I took my new bike for a long ride with my husband and it was one of the most enjoyable experiences of my life. I couldn't have done it without the superb staff that trained me this past weekend. I have never met such a bunch of highly motivated, positive and encouraging people. The staff very always willing to help you if you were having difficulties. They were always smiling and giving encouraging words when you were feeling like you were having a tough time. I would highly recommend this course to anyone that is interested in riding motorcycles. The staff made it so easy to grasp the knowledge and skill needed to ride a motorcycle. I want to thank each and every one of the staff working this past weekend! You should be very proud to have such great people working for you and representing Durham College!

• I Vicky Lafee-Bryden attended your course on April 10-12, 2009
  
  I have never ridden a motorcycle before in my life, now that I have I am out riding a 750 Honda with my husband who really wanted me to ride, I learned a lot while at this course and I would recommend it for everyone that wants to ride.
  
  The only thing now is when I go to do my full M another refresher course would be nice to take, but I was told in class we do not have any in our area. It would be nice to have one here in Belleville.
  
  And again thank you so much for this class. My instructors Ryan Southwell, Mike, Skip and Dave they are all very good at what they do.
  
  Thank you
  Vicky Lafee-Bryden
   
• We took the M2 course at Loyalist College this past weekend and were very pleased. It was definitely a worthwhile course. Ryan, Tim & Maggie did an excellent job all weekend.

• Just wanted to let you know how great your course/instructors are. I just completed my course, this past weekend (04/19/09) @ Durham College in Whitby. And I have nothing negative to say. Everyone was great, pleasant and helpful. The instructors kept everyone's confidence up at all times. It was well worth the money for the training. Looking forward to completing more courses in the future with you guys!! :)

• I just finished the motorcycle course in Belleville this weekend....I had a blast! I would recommend this to anyone who is interested on learning how to ride a bike safely and properly......my confidence has been raised and I feel that I have gained good knowledge on how to be safer when riding... The instructors (Ryan, Tim and Maggie) were amazing, answered all questions I had, and I didn't feel intimidated or nervous......keep up the good work. I'm glad I took the time to do this course.
  I PASSED!!
  
  Thank You.
  Dawn
   
• I wanted to thank the instructors on the last M1 course in Bellville, during the Easter long weekend. Ryan was very patient and knowledgeable, I hope that in the future the M2 course will be held in Belleville. To improve the next course during the high speed swerve the rider should practice both left and right prior to the test, and instruction on start and stopping on a hill should be covered. 
  
  Thanks again, 
  Sean
   
• Bob,
  
  The April 3-5, 2009 M1 Exit course in Whitby taught me a lot about motorcycling and safety. The weather was not so pleasant but the group of instructors were awesome. They managed to increase my confidence level in this 2 1/2 days.
  
  Today I went out for a short spin and it was an amazing experience to apply all the techniques I mastered from your knowledgeable group of instructors.
  
  The course fee is money very well spent. Nobody should be out on the road riding a motorcycle without going through this safety training.
  
  Thanks again!
  Attila
   
• I finished the course on April 3/4/5, 2009, despite the weather on the Saturday, I had a lot of fun! I wanted to thank the instructors for their knowledge and patience, because I know it would not be easy trying to teach a bunch of "newbies" the skills that are needed to be safe on the road and with many of them never even ridden a bike before. I highly recommend the course to anyone who wants to learn to ride a bike! I can now cross off an other thing from the list of life's "to do".
  
  Thanks again to Brett, Rick Gene and Lisa, you are great! See you on the road.

• Just finished the M2 course in Peterborough on the weekend of Apr 3, 4and 5.It was my 52 birthday on Apr 3rd and this course was bought for me as a present for my birthday. I thought I would be wasting my time on this because I thought I knew it all! I have rode off and on for years, But I learned more in those 3 days than in the past 25 years! The weather was terrible on Sat.,but your fabulous instructors kept it so light hearted and instructive! All the instructors made all the students feel right at home! They where more like friends than teachers and still managed to get all the important facts across to everyone. Brett with his laugh and Rick with his stories made us laugh but taught us all good lessons at the same time. All the instructors should be praised for what they are doing. I am so glad that I went to the course after all and firmly believe now that if you are going to ride a motorcycle you need this course no matter what you think you know. Kuddos to the instructors and to the college and the people that helped design this course!! You will see me for the M2 finishing course!, If I could I would have signed up right after Sundays finals. I will be back and anyone I meet who is going to ride I will make sure I tell them and highly recommend they take this course! 
  
  Again thank you all for this ,I will always remember this weekend and the instructors and what they showed me and made me learn. I will pas it on! 
  Derick lol
   
• Completed course at Belleville On 4/5/09. Bill Duncan, Skip, Bill & Devon were great. I highly recommend this course for anyone who plans to ride a motorcycle. I learned more in 3 days about riding than I had learned in the last 50 years on my own. Best $419 I ever spent. 
  
  Thanks
  Alex
   
• Good day, I just finished the M2 course this past weekend of April 3rd 2009 at Whitby. I had a fantastic time learning what was taught in the course. All the instructors were very knowledgeable and willing to teach at all skill levels. Even under cold and damp conditions all instructors had smiles and tried their best to spread the positive energy. Thanks for putting together such a well rounded program and team to run it. If we wanted to contact individual instructors to thank them for their work how can we get their contact email or info? 
  
  Thanks again.

• Had a great time, good learning criteria, GREAT supervisors (Devin, Skip and the Bills) and very helpful I would recommend to all my friends who wish to learn how to ride a motorcycle.

• Hi, I just completed the beginners motorcycle course at Sir Sandford Fleming this weekend and it was perfect for what I needed. I have never riden a motorcycle before in my life and yet in a matter of a couple of days I feel very confident that I can head out on my motorcycle and ride safely with confidence! Great instructors ran a well organized and presented course. 
  
  Thank you,

• I just completed the M2 course in Whitby last weekend, and thoroughly enjoyed it. At the course, the instructors told us, that if at some point after obtaining a full \"M\" license, that we could submit our names to MotorcycleCourse.com for consideration to join you as an instructor. I am just emailing yous'e to express my interest in doing just that when the time comes. A few years away, but just wanted to do so, before I forget. I will re-contact as well when the full M is obtained. The course was e  very bit worth the $400. 
  
  Thx.

• I just completed to course at Durham College this past weekend. I  have  been riding bike snowmobile since I was 5 and i picked up some riding  tips. the instructors did a very good job. have you thought about doing a open group ride with the instructors one weekend?

• I just want to say thank you for the amazing weekend. I don't believe there is a better way to get on a bike with confidence to know the how to's. If this message is read by Bob, could you put me on the list of buyers for motorcycles that you may let go after this year. Julie told us that sometimes some years it happens and I would like to keep my skills on a low budget. 
  
  Thank you and your team, it was a blast whether I do actually get to ride a motorcycle again or not.

• I just wanted to send a brief message to let you know that this was a  wonderful and rewarding experience. To be riding a motorcycle in just  hours, after never riding before is quite an accomplishment. All the  instructors were very pleasant and funny. I would highly recommend this  course to anyone.

• I took the motorcycle training course the weekend of Oct 17,18 and 19th. I wanted to tell you that I learned a great deal and had the best time of my life. I have ridden a small dirt bike a few times but not an experienced rider at all. I feel very comfortable riding now and know that I will be safe when I decide to jit the road. The instructors were just awesome. They truly made you feel that they had your best interest and genuinely cared. Howard especially made me feel so comfortable which boost the confidence for sure. I could go on and on but for sure I will recommend this  to everyone I know. And can not wait to get on a bike and look forward to  coming back for my final exit test in a few years.

• I participated in the M2 course (Sept. 11, 12, 13). The instructors were Fred, John and Dave were absolutely fabulous. I thoroughly enjoyed the weekend course, had a lot of fun and came out with extra confidence. I recommend this course to everyone. Thank you gentlemen for the ultimate learning experience.

• Well I aced your course last weekend Oct3-5th in Ottawa then on Tuesday  I'm Riding down Merivale turn onto Kirkwood and something catches my  right eye I look and look back and there is the Median in front of me. I'm going to crash! I take the 4 second look and make the decision to drop my bike into the median so not to go over my handle bars and into traffic. Due to this quick thinking and not panicking I am not hurt and neither is my BIKE!!!! Not even a scratch on my tank I have a few nice bruises but I am alive!!!  Thanks for teaching me so many valuable tips and PEOPLE KEEP YOUR EYES ON YOUR FRIES!!!!  Thanks Guys for taking the time to teach us newbies how to stay safe and alive without you I would be Dead right now. So from the bottom of my heart thanks for giving up your weekend to teach us how to ride safely.  
  
  Best Regards

• Hi Sandra:

  I did not get a chance to fill out the form for your feedback. This course is great. I would never have passed this test at the MTO without going to this course. As a woman, I was a little intimidated being a female rider. Your 2 instructors reassured me many times "You will do fine". I seem to have had the largest bike that weekend, which was Oct. 3/4/5/, 2008. It made me a little nervous. The course gave me insight to be a better and safer rider. I have many "guy" friends who need to get their M and I have told them, "you need to go to this course or you will never pass this at the MTO".
  
  Thanks again, and of course I passed the test.

• Hi,  I'd just recently participated in the M2 Exit Course presented at  Durham College in Whitby on the weekend of September 26-28th, 2008, with Randy and Tim and I'd just like to say how comfortable, enlightening and natural the course was.  When talking with the instructors in the classroom, they had both the recommended classroom instruction (including the MTO's recommended  answers) and yet still had personal anecdotes to back up the data and  safety recommendations, making it much easier to digest and retain the  information. When on the street, they increased the demand for perfect execution of all maneuvers at a pace which helped maintain required concentration on the road yet still constantly increased the demand for safe riding. Overall, it was a great course and the fact that I was so happy with  the original M2 course brought me back to Whitby when I live closer to  other options. Having the same instructor 2 years later was a surprising, but reassuring example of how dedicated and how great the Whitby  McC.com is. I don't think there's anything more I could ask for.
  
  Thank-you McC.com!

• I thoroughly enjoyed the course and the instructors were great. The two instructors at my retest, John and Cecil were excellent and  extremely patient and gave me the confidence to succeed.  Job well done!

• Re : M2 course Sept 26-28 at Sir Sandford Fleming. Head instructor was  John Milner, Chris and Ryan were coaching instructors for the practical/technical aspect of the course. The course was no less than  excellent in it\'s structure/content and execution. John was very patient and methodical in his approach with new riders. All three instructors  contributed a great deal toward developing my confidence in the riding  skills and safety on a motorcycle. It far exceeded my expectations for  this course. They  were very professional in their delivery of the exercises making sure that you understood, practiced, and performed the skills without the feeling of being rushed. I certainly developed more confidence and respect for  motorcycling as the weekend progressed. I will highly recommend this  course to others. I would rate all 3 instructors as excellent. It was  well worth the investment in the cost and time for this course. 
  Thank  you...ride safe!!

• My son Andrew and I would like to thank Rick, Martha and Tom for the  excellent M-2 training course at St. Lawrence College this weekend of Sept. 19, 20 and 21. It was exceptionally organized and very challenging. Excellent job and would recommend this course to anyone that wants to get their motorcycle lic.

• A special thank you to the M2 Course Instructors John Milner, Chris Laundry and Ryan. (Sep 26-28th, 2008 Peterborough)
  I really enjoyed the course and learned so much from each one of you. You exceeded my expectations for this program and each have a tremendous amount of talent for being a great coaches/instructors to motorcycle 'newbies' . I definitely believe I'm better prepared to start riding after attending the M2 course. The combination of video, discussion, 1:1 tips and technical skills training was excellent!
  
  Special word for Chris: Please make sure you record this feedback on your PER! :-)
  
  Cheers & thanks again!

• I successfully completed the M2 exit course (Sept 26/27). I had taken the beginner course also at St. Lawrence College in Kingston, and both times Ron Hare instructed. He made the course informative, fun and practical - I think overall money well invested. I suggest perhaps that SLC contact registrants a few days prior to the course start date, just as a reminder courtesy service (& include note on what to bring).  As well, it may be worthwhile providing students with a contact phone  no. so that one could advise the instructor of either being late & or a no-show.  Again, you get full kudos for these courses.

• Bob: 

  I just wanted to take this opportunity to provide some feedback on the Motorcycle course offered at Durham College. I had the pleasure of taking this course on the weekend of September 26th and I was extremely pleased with the entire experience. Everything from how the in class sessions and the practical experience on the bikes intermingled was truly a thing of beauty. This was made even more pleasurable because of the level of competency displayed by the instructors you have on staff. Everyone from Anita, Ed, Mike, John, Mike (Chicago), Cecile (spelling may be off) and I am sure I’ve forgotten other instructors and I do apologize for that. 
  
  I have staff of my own and I am a big believer in feedback and positive reinforcement but being on the receiving end the entire weekend was refreshing. You have a great bunch of individuals teaching us novices the ins and outs of motor cycle riding and I strongly believe that courses such as these should be mandatory for anyone thinking of getting out on the road on a motorcycle.
  
  Because of your knowledgeable, patient, informative, and affable staff I walked away from the experience knowing that when I do get out there on the road I will be armed with a hell of a lot more information than I thought I needed and will carry the lessons I learned over those three wonderful days with me whenever I strap on a motor cycle.
  
  Please pass along my sincere thanks and gratitude to that bunch of professionals who taught us some important life saving skills while keeping it light hearted and fun.
  
  You have a wonderful program going there sir and I only wish that more people would make the right choice, as I have, and place themselves in the hands of the individuals conducting the classes. They will come away far better for the experience as I surely did.
  
  Thank You,
  Danny Wedemire
   

• Hi Bob I took the course in Ottawa at Algonquin. It was run by Brett Burritt, but I thought all the instructors did a great job. Very encouraging and supportive.
  
  I live in the country and I think when I buy a bike I'll try and have it delivered and just start practicing on the local roads when there's no one around and hope for the best. Work my way up to driving in traffic.
  
  Thanks

• Well first of all I would like to thank Ryan, Mike and Howard for the help they gave me over the past weekend (19-21 Sept 08) @ Loyalist College. I  had never been on a motorcycle at all and I am nearly 45 years of age. I  know I must have tested their patience at one time or another but they always smiled at me and gave praise no matter the situation. I most two important things I took away from the course was first, "EYES", they are the most important thing I believe when riding a motorcycle. Secondly as  Howard always said "HAVE FUN". I did that this weekend for sure. I really and truly believe it had not been for the patience of the 3 fine instructors this weekend I would not have learnt what I did. Positive reassurance along with one on one instruction gained me the opportunity to successfully pass the course and hopefully down the road become half the rider that Howard, Mike and Ryan are. I hope that Loyalist offers the M2  Exit Course in the future because I am a believer and will be attending to be instructed by fine individuals that I had this past weekend.  In closing it would not be right if I did not offer my thanks to the one that  offers the motorcycles that I enjoyed riding all weekend. I personally  thank you.  
  
  Signed: A believer, 
  Rodney Joice,
  Oh by the way, tell the instructors I will use the clutch more especially Ryan. HAHAHA
   
• Hey there - I just wanted to say a quick thanks again to all the great instructors from the M2 course, as well as to everyone involved in keeping this great program running. Prior to this weekend, I had only been a motorcycle passenger. Imagining what it would be like to ride without a helmet bobbing around in front of my view. I was a little apprehensive, however about how fast I would be able to get used to the controls, and totally terrified at the prospect of being back in a school setting after so many years!!
  
  Your great instructors put me at ease quickly. I felt comfortable in your classes, and the safety tips and guidance were presented in a way that was easy for a first day beginner like myself to pick up and understand.
  
  I already have one friend I am sending your way for training next season, and I plan on coming back myself when it's time for my M2 exit!
  
  Until then..
  Thom
   
• Bill, Maggie, Harold and the SLC parking lot were instrumental in my success with the M2 road test, and all around rider confidence. I'll never forget the uneasy feeling of not really knowing how or if I  could react in a 'situation' while riding this past summer (constantly praying I wouldn't find out either).......but those days are behind me now.
  
  The skills and rider mindset taught in this course are indispensable to a rider's survival. Thank you for making it so informative, relaxed and fun, without ever overshadowing the role we play in our own safety as we share the roads on  our 'single track' machines!

• I just finished the Sept. 12-14 M1 exit course in Kingston. Rick, Janine and Mike did an excellent job. As well as being very educational, I also had a great time. I will recommend it to everyone I know interested in riding a motorcycle. Keep up the great work! 
  
  Thank you!
  Chris
   
• I just wanted to shoot a quick note to thank you for a great course. Having the extra training and education behind me makes me a more confident and informed rider. My instructor, Ron, made us all feel comfortable and kept it fun. 
  
  Thank you for my full M!

• Completed the M2 Safety Course this past weekend Sept 5th, 6th and 7th.  The course was excellent and I learned much valuable information that I know will make me a better, safer rider. The course instructors Harold  Snider, John and Tom were awesome - and they are to be commended for their hard work and dedication. Special thanks to Harold for the confidence he instilled in me and for putting up with me. Best regards and thank you  all. 
  
  Sincerely,

• Hey Mr.Weil,

  I took your motorcycle course offered at Algonquin last weekend and I just wanted to e-mail you to tell you how pleased I was with the course. The instructors, Francois, Rocoo, Charlie, Marco and Norm were all knowledgeable and very helpful. I was a first-time rider and was struggling from the very beginning, but the instructors were patient with me and kept on encouraging me until I eventually was able to ride very well by the end of the weekend. Admittedly, I am not a pro rider yet, but I believe I have the basic fundamental skills now to maybe become one.

• I completed the motor cycle course at St. Lawrence College in Kingston this past weekend and loved it.  Harold, Tom and John were great. They were all very friendly, informative, helpful and approachable. They all made it very easy and fun to learn. 
  
  Thank you.

• Hi Bob,  I just took the M1X course at Durham College and I'd like to take a  moment to compliment the excellent instructors who worked their butts off  in the sweltering heat. They moved piles of cones all weekend long,  donned their gear to demonstrate concepts they were teaching and generally made sure everyone was having a good time and were being well-coached.  Their enthusiasm is contagious. The course itself is very well designed  and introduces skills and controls gradually, always building on the last  exercise. I'd especially like to mention Tony, the senior statesman among the crew, who was as quick with a compliment as he was with a correction and always very professional. He had the line of the weekend when we were talking about the shift lever and making sure the bike was in neutral.  Someone asked why we don't just pull in the clutch instead of fiddling  for neutral. Tony answered: "Because you haven't been told what a clutch is, yet. Right now, that lever is just a thingie".   
  
  Thanks again, everyone.

• I just wanted to write a thank-you to Bryce and Stubby, my instructors for the M2 Exit course this past weekend in Peterborough. These two instructors provided a very informative yet fun learning environment which helped improve my confidence. I found the course to be really beneficial with regards to being a more cautious driver by being more aware of my surroundings and possible hazards while driving. I strongly think this course should be mandatory for anyone who drives a motorcycle. This course was definitely well worth the time and money.
  
  Thanks again Stubby and Bryce for such a positive and beneficial experience!

• We completed the M2 course on Aug 17. Very educational and safety was #1. Will recommend to all, great way to start motorcycling.

• Myself and Bev hadn't rode a bike for many, many years. We had our M1's  for over two months and hadn't even sat on a bike, so to say we were  rusty bike riders was an understatement. We were waiting patiently for the Aug 15th weekend to come with great excitement. Right from the get go all 6 instructors made us feel very comfortable. Within just a few short hours into the second day I was so relaxed with the bike it felt like I had been riding for years. Bev and I extremely appreciate the patience, professionalism and the hard work the instructors provided for the weekend. So  thank you to Ron, Rick, Becky, John, Tony and Trevor for a truly enjoyable and fun weekend; it\'s something well always remember. Kudos to you all for an amazing job well done.   
  
  Thanks again.

• Hi there, I just completed the course in Ottawa yesterday and was very  pleased with what I learned. I considered myself an experienced rider but I really just had a bunch of bad habits that's needed to be broken. I was not  only pleased with what I learned, but was amazed at how well they taught  the newbies to ride. It was real neat to see people gaining the confidence  that is needed to operate a motorcycle properly, not to mention the the self esteem it built up in these students. I believe if every rider took the  course the roads would be a lot safer for every rider. So, Brett, Norm, Mike & Warner, Great job guys, you truly are professionals would strongly recommend this course to anyone. 
  
  Thanks again guys,
  Brad Desjardine (Aug,15,16&17 @ Ottawa)
   
• I just wanted to send a note in and say thank-you to all the instructors from the course this past weekend in Ottawa (Brett, Norm, Wern, Mike). These guys were phenomenal at breaking everything down and helping each of learn in the most efficient way. Not only that, but they were incredibly supportive, patient, and just a little bit funny. Looking back, I can't believe how amazing this course was to take some of us who had never been on a bike before, and in two days getting us riding around, shifting up and down - but most important, maneuvering the bike with confidence and safety. Thank you so much for this course. It's done nothing but inspired me to make sure that I keep practicing and become the safest  rider I possible can be. 
  
  Cheers

• I just attended the M2 course this past weekend August 15th to 17th and I have to say that it was such an amazing weekend!!! Bill, Devin and Ryan are fantastic at what they do!! They are very patient and made the weekend enjoyable for everyone that attended. I'm glad that I was able to take my M2 in Belleville and hope that you bring the M2 exit course to Belleville soon!!
  
  Once again my hats off to Bill, Devin and Ryan great job guys!!!
  Cheers,

• I completed the M2 Exit course in Kingston on August 17th and I am extremely pleased with the instruction I received. Thanks Mike for getting those details burned into my brain.  I was initially hesitant about riding on the 401 but the training and repeated exposure gave me the confidence to enjoy my bike at speed knowing I can ride safely.

• I just wanted to let everyone know that I just did my re-test, yes that's right I failed the first time, mostly due to a serious case of testitis as Ryan diagnosed tee hee, but thanks to Ryan and Devin I had an excellent second chance, and flew through the test the second time. I wanted to say thank you so very much for all the positive encouragement and absolutely amazing instructors! I think the course is definitely essential for new riders and I\'m glad the instructors have fun teaching it and are willing to give extra help when needed :) 
  Thanks again to Ryan, Ed, John and Devin! I\'m looking forward to getting a few years under my belt and applying for instructor status myself! cheers!
