    I never thought that attending a motorbike training would be so fun, though a bit tiring since I'm not getting younger, and I feel so accomplished afterwards. I had never driven a motorcycle before, so I thought I should try. In this review, I can share my experience honestly. All the instructors were truly professional, from the day 1 online meeting to day 2 of the first actual training and day 3 of the final training today. . . April 19, 2026. Dave, Elliot and Bob are truly exceptional and awesome. Salute to all the instructors for being cool and pushing us to learn more. There hasn't been a dull moment during the training. It's a lively environment. Time passes slowly because you keep doing many driving exercises. If you make a mistake, just like I did, the instructor always instructs you to pull over to the side and explains your error, which I honorably accept. Well, I just did my best and kept going, even though my 'muscle memory' wasn't fully working. What can I do? Just do your best, of course and enjoy the ride. This training truly gives me self-confidence. I think I'm ready to purchase my first bike next month once I get my license so I can practice more before I join to a group trip. Overall, the training in this facility is 5/5 stars. No regrets, no complaints, and only happy moments. That's what I encountered. Others may have different experiences, but mine was cool. I recommend this training facility to everyone. Peace, brother ! PS: Kudos to everyone in this training. You are all beautiful and nice. Congratulations to everyone for passing the training course. Here's the photo of our group to enjoy !

    Huge variety of bikes - everything from cruisers to sports bikes to dual sports

    There are several things that make MRE Simi Valley so great, and I will cover each one in a few topical paragraphs. Some background on me is that I am a dirt and Moto-trials rider, who has bad habits for street riding - so though experienced, there is a lot I needed to learn, work on, and practice. First and foremost, the Zoom Meeting with instructor Dave (not sure of his last name), was perfectly concise and covered important topics. From the get-go, I knew that the instruction from this company was going to be concise and effective, and that the instructors at this company were going to be high-quality. Showing up on the first day of class, I met the owner of the company, an instructor named Bob, and an instructor named Dave Kaji. The owner of the company was as friendly as could be, Bob was obviously incredibly experienced, and I will get back to Dave Kaji later in this review. The first lessons learned were truly the first lessons to be learned riding a motorcycle. I've seen some reviews where people make it seem as if you need some level of experience to take this course, it just simply isn't true. They taught us every tool needed in order to ride a motorcycle quickly and successfully. It was amazing watching people who had never touched a clutch before excel at it in just a few hours. The lessons were a mixture of the instructors reading off of the company handbook, as well as speaking directly to us for further explanation and to answer any questions. We ran through exercises that included everything from crab-walking a bike to learn the clutch friction zone all the way to negotiating extremely tight turns, and using counter-steering to evade obstructions. Despite my experience in dirt moto, I left better, and with a TON of tools in my toolbox I can utilize to break my bad street riding habits, and become a great rider. So, despite this being only a two day on motorcycle course, the tools and practice you're given is timeless. When it comes to testing, none of it was a surprise. The written test was a series of questions directly off of the study material and covered in class - everybody in my group passed it with no problems. With that being said, it was not overly basic/simple, and it delved into topics such as outside-inside-outside curve negotiations, which are incredibly important. The on-motorcycle testing was nerve-racking, especially for people with OCD like myself, but that's for the best. When you hit the streets and are surrounded by pedestrian tanks, your nerves are going to take a hold of you, and you need to have the muscle memory it takes in order to have the awareness you need to assess the situation and take the right action, even when in a fighter or flight mode when muscle memory becomes critical. Nearly everybody in our class passed the test, and each exercise was directly taken from the exercises taught to us prior in the day. None of it was a surprise. To return back to the instructors, Dave Kaji is the gem of this course in my opinion. His relaxed and supportive demeanor was truly a breath of fresh air all while maintaining a confident hand to follow. He was the perfect mixture of highly professional and highly approachable, attuned to each person's needs on an individual level, and he executed instruction FLAWLESSLY. The best thing this company can do is keep him around.

    They have multiple bikes of all sizes. They allow the individuals to pick a bike.

    I took this class with no prior riding experience, not even knowing how to turn a bike on and passed. This class gives you great fundamentals to ride properly. While riding, instructors would give feedback if you were doing good or tips to help you improve. It was super helpful because it allowed the rider to make corrections in real time & get a feeling of how to do something correctly. Importantly, the feedback was never discouraging. Red, Nate, Duan & Bob were great. Safety was emphasized over anything else. The group ranged from people with riding experience to none, however everyone was super helpful and encouraging. It was a great introduction to the motorcycle community.

    Another day out on the Range.

    First and foremost, let me just say that Duan, Elliot, Rick and Bob are fantastic instructors who love what they do. They get you up and going on a motorcycle quicker than you expect. I highly recommend this company as your next pick for the MSF course. I really did enjoy it. And when you have instructors that love to ride and teach new riders as well, it makes it that much more enjoyable. Thank you to everyone at MRE, see you on the road! PS: when they tell you to bring the correct gear, they will be checking you. Also, when they tell you to bring lots of liquids, snacks, food, whatever, bring them. You don't realize how much riding a motorcycle takes so much effort.

    My son just turned 18 and we got him a motorcycle and I was so excited to do this class with him. I grew up riding dirt and some street but was never licensed and my son had never ridden before. This class teaches you you never knew how to ride correctly LOL! I learned so much and my son was nervous but after the first riding class you could see his confidence growing. The instructors we had were Dave, Duan, Elliot and Bob. All of them were so patient but firm. They let you know as soon as you made a mistake and how to fix it without making you feel horrible or like you couldn't do it. Anyone and I mean anyone could learn something new from this class. I recommend this company and class to everyone that rides or even has an interest in riding. Worth every cent. Now we are thinking about taking the next class after a little more of practicing what we learned. Thank you so much! After a few minutes of the first range class I totally trusted them with my son and could concentrate on my learning. If you're thinking about it just DO IT!!

    I just finished the first course last weekend. Like others, I've been riding for many years (in the dirt) and thought it would be a good idea to get properly educated on street riding before transitioning back to it. The two are similar and very different at the same time. My goal was to break some bad habits and develop some good ones. I learned things on the first night I hadn't picked up in decades of experience. I gained a lot of practical knowledge in the classroom, or Zoom in this case, that we then applied on the range the following days. In particular, getting ready to ride in terms of safety, strategies to navigate curves with confidence, and the hazard/crash avoidance techniques were all important to me. Nick kept the Zoom sessions interesting and interactive while Rick, Nick, Bob and Elliot were hands on with us at the range. Having the more complex exercises run through first by the instructors, before our turn, was a huge help. We practiced most strategies we covered in class multiple times. Coaching was ongoing during the exercises which built the skills and confidence. The selection of bikes was broad, something for everyone. And they even had an XXXL helmet for my huge head. I came out of it with the essential tools I was looking for and skills that I can build on with repetition and through their more advanced courses. I'd highly recommend MRE to anyone, beginner or experienced. It was time and money well spent.

    I had only been on a bike once before this past weekend. I decided to take the course so I can have a second option aside from my car. The course was three days and extremely helpful in all aspects. The zoom session on the first day (from home) was very informative, prepared us for the riding range the following two days. Red was an amazing instructor. He was passionate, patient, and helpful anytime I had a question. Elliot was just as great. Bob joined in on the range the last day to train us, and I only have good things to say about bob as well. I passed the course and walked out feeling a lot more confidence to get on a bike and ride safely in LA. Thank you Red, Elliot, and Bob for the great experience.

    Motorcycle friends share opinions about lots of things, especially about riding. But I quickly noticed they shared one universal thought about the *first thing* I should do as a new rider: TAKE A SAFETY CLASS. They were right. I enrolled in MRE's beginner class as soon as I purchased a bike. Even though staying off of it until I completed the course was difficult, I'm truly glad I did. Being able to spend a concentrated amount of time in a classroom (the first one via Zoom), and two days over a weekend on a motorcycle on a course (MRE provides the bikes), made all the difference in my confidence once I finally climbed aboard for my first ride. Rick (the owner), Elliott, Bob (who really should do stand-up), and the in-person classroom instructor (whose name eludes me but his masterful, hilarious instruction does not), were universally fantastic. They're patient, kind (but firm), and most importantly, there to teach you efficiently and effectively. I came away from the course hardly feeling like an expert (it's clear to me this will take years and logging lots of miles), but someone who has a firm grasp of motorcycle safety basics. I was immediately able to put these skills into play during my first few rides and continue to do so. It's difficult to overstate how important this class was for me once I pulled into actual traffic the first time. I cannot imagine having done so without this course. The bottom line is the cost is worth every penny. It gives you peace of mind and a strong grasp of the basics involved in safe cycling. Every day I learn something new, but this is always reinforced by the basics I got from MRE's instructors. I can't recommend this course enough and understand now fully why all my riding buddies recommended it!

    I had such an easy, pleasant experience with Driver's Ed Direct!…read more They were always quick to respond and provided me with all the information I needed. So, when the time came to schedule my 17-year-old, it was easy peasy and stress-free. I really appreciated how flexible they were with scheduling, too. Also, his instructor was such a great match for his personality-type which I'm so grateful for (he suffers from anxiety). I am proud to say that he has since passed his Driving Test. I couldn't recommend them enough!

    I wish I could give them a 10/5…read more We did our mandatory six hours with them and it was absolutely amazing, great instructors who clearly care about them learning, taking great notes and rooting for them. They come right to your door, on time, friendly instructors - every single one of them. I honestly don't know how they find people with such great attitudes. My daughter gets a little apprehensive about new situations so everyone made her really comfortable. They said she did great. So! Because of that, we bought three more classes (extra six hours of experience). The first new lesson, she got over her fear of the freeway and did really well. She was so scared when it's her parents but with an instructor, she got over that. The second new lesson? This was the issue and absolutely kudos to Drivers Ed Direct. So, she gets panic attacks sometimes. It used to be really bad where she would miss school and it was almost daily and she hated it but she couldn't get through them, it was a rough year at the time. But, we got them mostly under control but for whatever reason... she had one about 15 minutes before her instructor showed up. I couldn't get her out of it (it's awful to see, as a parent), she was trying but she couldn't breath, short of breath. I greeted the instructor and said I have to deal with 'something' first and he was so patient, when he didn't need to be, as we were on the clock. She was in no shape to drive, it was bad... so I told him that, unfortunately, we had to cancel but we'd just eat the costs, no probably at all. He was totally amazing, my God... I was so stressed and he was like, "Totally no worries, I live close, it's okay." Nicest guy, per usual with them. The day after, I just emailed them to just apologize for that and I didn't even bring-up the cost or anything because, yeah, I should be on the hook for that, it's not their problem. But, guess what. They said it's okay and didn't even charge anything! They are going to reschedule it! I had to come on here immediately and pass that along because they absolutely didn't have to do that -- at all. But that's who they are - they care.
