It was an amazing weekend class! Big thanks to Wayne, Rick and John from the german group 😁😎🥳 see you guys soon 🎉
I had a great time with the MRC Family this weekend with Don teaching me in the Individual Novice L1 class. I was a little nervous coming into the class, but Don and the other coaches, Ron and Tim, made me feel at ease. I can't believe how many muscles had gotten sore after one 2-hour class. I guess that means progress. Can't wait for the next class!
I wanted to let y'all know that a student of yours from 2016 passed March 8th, 2020. His name was Alan Talbert. His heart gave out at home at age 94. He loved learning to ride with y'all & he appreciated your care with him on his new adventure of motorcycle riding ! I was honored to have him ride his Ural to our home on occasion. He loved that bike. He loved the schooling you gave him! Wanted y'all to know....
Coach: Wayne Donahue

What were your highlights and favorites?

A: learning what I did not know about operating a motorcycle, acquiring confidence to operate a motorcycle, gaining a better appreciation as a car/SUV driver around motorcycles, becoming more comfortable with accepting risk with acquired skill and riding experience (i.e., accident fear), and learning to respect the machine.

Where can we improve?

A: nothing to comment on at this time. who is the novice to criticize or question the determination of instructors to desire a student succeeds?

Please rate us 1-10.

A: 11

Looking forward to additional training as I begin this journey ... if and when I can rent a bike when they are not sold out ! :)
Very detailed. Instructos are very knowledgeable and know how to put it across the table. I enjoyed my one on one with Chris who was very awesome. I have to say I absolutely loved the trail on the grounds. That caught me off guard and helped me build my confidence. I will definitely be returning whenever I'm in town.
MRC helped me, even though I was a slow learner. After 1200 miles in Florida on four different bikes, I'm much more confident.
I took the advance course again for the second year in a row, and I'll continue to come back - this is a great class!
Got my first bike after getting my license just a few days ago! Can't wait to get out and ride, safely of course!
My run at the MRC Advanced Course. Great course and fantastic instructors/coaches!!!
The best motorcycle training course I have ever taken. Mo and Chris were fantastic coaches...All the tips and basic information/instructions/comments given were put in practice immediately! Today, I rode my Harley! It felt great and I was in control, no hesitation! After 18 years, I’m back in the saddle! Ready to hit the road again! Thank you very much to both! 100% recommended!
I took the Individual Novice Level 1 course and my instructor ( Mr.Don Withrow) showed me more than I thought I would learn in the time allowed. He was also very patient, however stern in his teaching, which is what I need. I want to learn all I need to become a safe cyclist. I am taking the course again as well as all of his courses.
Second time taking a class with MRC, and keep improving my ridding skills! Tim was great. Can’t wait to come back in Spring.
Would definitely recommend MRC to anyone.
Thank you Don

Let's hear it for MRC Headstart class 21238. They came out as a major rainstorm was ending and got to ride for 90 minutes. Why, you ask? Well, it's simple. They wanted to know if riding a motorcycle is something they can and want to do. Guess what? They found out. They'll be back in the spring to take the full licensing course. See you soon. Never stop learning.

Congratulations to MRC Basic Rider Course 21038. So, the first day was absolutely beautiful. Sunny skies. Moderate temperatures. And then there was the second day when we took all the photos. Those are biohazard suits they're wearing. They are rain coveralls that keep them somewhat dry. They deserve your respect for learning and gaining skill in such weather. A special shout-out and congrats for Thomas who scored perfectly on the riding test and received the coveted MTG hat. Ride Safe. Ride Long.
