1st Gear Motorcycle Training: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Recently took the dedicated rider course and the experience was great! Adam and his team in Langley did an excellent job at introducing things slowly in a manageable way. I feel a lot more confident in my riding skills and had lots of fun in the process. Should you choose to take a course look no further, you won’t be disappointed!
Excellent Bryce. Thanks for the write up!
Fantastic experience: Adam and his team are extremely skilled and experienced instructor. As a complete beginner to riding, after taking the MST course with Adam, I left fully capable of riding alone for long durations of time. Adam is extremely honest and supportive. He helped me pass my road test first try with a clean sheet. Highly recommend for anyone trying to get a motorcycle license.
Nice work on the clean sheet Jaideep. Thanks for writing up about your experience.
Fantastic experience: I recently attended a motorcycle training course, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the experience. The instructors are fantastic, particularly Adam, who was incredibly patient and attentive. Adam's teaching style is clear, and he ensures every student feels confident before moving on to more advanced skills. They all made learning fun while focusing on safety, which was a top priority throughout the course. The team was knowledgeable, friendly, and professional, creating an environment where students of all levels felt comfortable and encouraged. Adam went above and beyond to make sure I fully understood every aspect of riding, which greatly boosted my confidence. I now feel well-prepared to hit the road, thanks to their dedication. If you're looking for a top-notch motorcycle school, I highly recommend this one, especially with Adam as your instructor!
Thanks for the write up Alexey. This is the experience we strive for. As long as students are writing up about us this way. We know we still got it. Ride safe out there!
Fantastic experience: Completed full course with Adam. Very good instructor and I passed my road test first try. If anyone needs lessons this is the place to go. Fun and very good experience. You learn alot of stuff.
Thanks very much Trevor!
Fantastic experience: Only the best work here! Wouldn't be the rider I am today without these fine people.
Thanks very much Ryan. You sure had the life changing experience here at 1st Gear!
Fantastic experience: Took my rider training with 1st Gear/Roadcraft and it was a really fruitful experience. Instructors are knowledgeable and make sure you get the experience and knowledge you need. Would definitely recommend to anyone who is considering starting to ride motorcycles.
Thanks Shane! It will be a long winter... Next year a full season of riding for you. ride safe!
Fantastic experience: Best place to get motorcycle license. Got road test passed on my first attempt. Got only 1 road ride with adam . Adam is great instructor. He knows what he is doing being a professional trainer. Had very bad experience with valley driving school. That was wastage of my money. Over 20 student in class and rude behavior. Highly recommending 1st gear for motor cycle license. Thanks to team 1st gear.
Alright Daman. We are glad we got you to where you wanted to be. Thanks for the write up!
Fantastic experience: I just completed the Dedicated Rider training course last weekend (June 2024) and was very satisfied and impressed with each of my experiences. The sign up process was simple and straight-forward. I chose a date 2 months into the future from the time of registration to ensure I had plenty of time to complete the online portion of the training prior to the week of classroom training (1x 3 hour session). I repeated a few of the sections to be sure I absorbed and retained as much of the information as possible. It could easily have been done in a day or 2 without breaking a sweat, but both work and home responsibilities made me nervous that I would not have the chance to finish on time. Turns out I would have had plenty of time, and the closer to the course is better for retention anyways. I had the occasion to send questions by email, and they were always very quick to respond with full and complete answers to my concerns. The classroom learning was similar to the online learning and felt like a natural extension and next step from the self-guided part. Walking into the course with the other students felt like walking into a friendly community of like-minded and eager students. I can't really give full credit to 1st Gear for this, but they definitely supported the idea of riding as a social activity. The material was all current and relevant, from safety and how-to tips to pointers on what to look for in a new or used motorcycle, places to get good prices on good gear, and more. The 2 days spent on the training lot (I attending in Richmond on Viking Road just east of Jacombs off Cambie) was a steady pace from the very basic safety riding concepts through all of the necessary drills that build the skills to pass your MST/MSA (Motorcycle Skills Test/Assessment) test that is required by ICBC. They have a good variety of smaller engine motorcycles available for you to learn on. With 10 people in my class (about average according to one of our instructors, Lee RideFar), there were people ranging in ages from 19 to 59 and with varying levels of previous experience, including at least 4 with no experience riding, or even driving a car with a manual transmission. They must be doing something right, because while everyone definitely learned at their own pace, every single person learned well enough to pass the test at the end of the weekend. We were lucky to have Lee, Mel and Noah as our instructors who all shared a clear love of riding and were amazing at delivering clear, simple and relevant information as well as answers to everyone's questions. I would highly recommend 1st Gear to anyone looking to learn to ride, upgrade their skills, get the license they should have gotten long ago, or just learn how to be a better, safer rider.
Joel. Thanks for the extremely detailed write up! This is the experience we want all riders to have.
Fantastic experience: I recently completed the safety rider motorcycle course at Langley and had an amazing experience. The instructors, Adam and Kiefer, were very knowledgeable, supportive and all around great teachers. The classes were definitely worth the investment, even as someone with dirtbike experience. I now feel prepared to safely practice my skills on the road and prepare for my full license road test. Definitely recommend if you want to get into motorcycling.
Excellent to hear. We are always curious how riders with experience enjoy our course. We are glad we were able to make you a better rider.
Fantastic experience: A very big thank you to Aadam and Keyfer!!!.. what an amazing course.. THEY DO NOT GIVE UP ON YOU.... amazing people!!!!
They certainly do not. Everyone can be a rider!
Fantastic experience: Good class
Thanks Rob
Fantastic experience: I just finished my course this weekend and it was amazing! The instructors are very knowledgeable and will answer any questions you may have, they are also patient and will help you feel more comfortable riding and doing the manoeuvres! All in all it was a great experience and I will be recommending this to anyone who is looking to get into riding. Thank you so much!
Thanks so much Mercedes! We want it to be a fun experience.
Fantastic experience: just finished my learning to ride course this weekend! i had an absolute blast! the instructors were so helpful (and specific) when learning technical slow speed manoeuvres as well as getting up to 3rd gear. absolutely no complaints about anyone at this course, will definitely recommend to other new riders and i hope to see you guys soon!
Hello and thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback! We are thrilled to hear that you have nothing but amazing things to say. Ride safe!
Fantastic experience: Amazing course! Adam and Kiefer were fantastic instructors. I feel like everyone needs to do this course. I would never recommend trying to ride on the road without taking this or an equivalent course. Well well well worth the prices!
That is so amazing to hear, Christopher! Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback.
Fantastic experience: Attending motorcycle training at 1st Gear was an exceptional experience from start to finish. I have not ridden in 25 years, I took a two hour "refresher" with my Superstar instructor Ted who was not only knowledgeable but also incredibly passionate about riding, which made the learning process engaging and enjoyable. Safety was always a top priority, with thorough instruction on proper gear, defensive riding strategies, and emergency procedures. One of the standout aspects of the training was the emphasis on camaraderie and community. I can't recommend motorcycle training at 1st Gear highly enough. Whether you're a novice rider looking to build a strong foundation or a seasoned rider seeking to refine your skills, this training will exceed your expectations.
Thanks for taking the time to write about your experience Michelle! We will be sure to pass on this review to Ted. It will make his day.
Fantastic experience: Adam and Keifer are great instructors, I highly recommend taking the course with them. I had no prior motorcycle experience and they were able to build my confidence and skill in riding.
Thanks Taranpreet!
Fantastic experience: I took my Motorcycle training through first gear! I had a blast! Adam was my instructor and was able to teach me how to ride in 3 days considering I have never been on a motorized bike. They even have road rides and rental bikes to get prepped for the road assessment. Hands down would recommend this school to all my friends.
Hands up on the bars! You are a rider now. Thanks for writing about your experience Kay!
Fantastic experience: Adam & Kiefer were great instructors. They taught the skills needed to pass my MST and ICBC road test both on the first try. I had never been around or attempted to ride before taking the course and I was amazed at how quickly their course helped me to overcome initial anxiety around riding, and then the road rides offered with the school were also very helpful for increasing my confidence on the road
That is what we do! Zero skills to passing the MST test. Then on the road. Thanks for writing about your experience.
Fantastic experience: Really excellent school. Takes the time to explain, plus provides real world experiences. Within a month, of taking the course, passed my ICBC road exam with flying colours. Thank you to 1st Gear Motorcycle School. Would recommend to anyone serious about obtaining their motorcycle license to take a course with this company.
Fantastic experience: Adam and Keefer were my instructors at 1st gear riding, These guys run an amazing sessions, with abundance of knowledge and experience. Learing to ride is one thing, but riding responsibly and being safe on the road is whole another chapter that these guys will prepare you for. My experience of investing in my safety on the road through 1st gear has is the best decision i made for myself. Can't wait to take some of the advanced riding classes that they put on from time to time. Thank you 1st gear for putting on such a great riding program.
Fantastic experience: Our class was taught by Keefer and Ted. Two of the most outstanding and humorous instructors I have ever come across. They were very direct and assertive with every single instruction enabling us students to better grasp the foundations of motorcycling. I couldn’t have asked for a better set of instructors. I highly recommend everyone take up this course if they are looking to dip their toes in the world of motorcycling. Keefer and Ted were all about safety and (REAL LIFE) scenarios, something that is looked pass if you are just taking the ICBC skills test. Again much thanks to the whole First gear team for making all of this possible and I hope that everyone gives this class a shot. Thank you again Ted and Keefer!
Fantastic experience: Adam and Kieffer will teach you how to ride in the short amount of time they have with you as long as you are willing to actively listen and apply. Trust that they are telling you what's best for your safety, and forget everything that you think you know. I appreciated the direct and honest feedback while taking the course. Don't be shocked if you get yelled at for making the same mistakes over and over. Those same mistakes out on the road could be fatal. But, also expect acknowledgement for doing things correctly. Thanks, and good luck.
Fantastic experience: I really enjoyed the three day course I took with the Langley crew. The knowledge and experience that is passed on is invaluable. I would highly recommend taking some riding lessons and parking lot practice if you're getting into motorcycling.
Fantastic experience: Great experience Very knowledgeable instructors
Fantastic experience: Just done the course with them, awesome group of guys, definitely learned a lot in 3 days, you will enjoy the class a lot
Fantastic experience: My wife and I just completed their course. Their staff are highly experienced and get you the skills you need to pass your MST. They cover some crash avoidance techniques not required to get your MST, and provide ongoing services to their students to make sure you enjoy a safe motorcycling experience. We haven't booked any road rides with them yet, but the basic corse includes 2, and their dedicated rider program includes 4. I am looking forward to building my skills to pass the road test, and maybe beyond with them. This is a great choice for motorcycle training, highly recommended.
Fantastic experience: I recently had the opportunity to attend 1st Gear Motorcycle School, and I have to say that my experience was absolutely fantastic. The instructors were incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about riding, and they went out of their way to ensure that every student felt comfortable and confident on their bike. From the moment I arrived, I could tell that the team at 1st Gear Motorcycle School was dedicated to providing a top-notch education experience. The facilities were clean and well-maintained, and the equipment was up-to-date and in great condition. Throughout the course, the instructors were patient and encouraging, and they provided clear and concise feedback that helped me improve my riding skills quickly. By the time the course was over, I felt much more confident on a motorcycle and was excited to get out on the road. Overall, I would highly recommend 1st Gear Motorcycle School to anyone who is interested in learning to ride. The instructors are top-notch, the facilities are excellent, and the education experience is truly second-to-none. Whether you're a complete beginner or an experienced rider looking to brush up on your skills, you won't find a better place to learn than 1st Gear Motorcycle School.
Fantastic experience: Adam definitely made it fun and entertaining. I'm glad I picked going here for my course. highly recommend anyone to come do their courses here. worth every penny and never a dull moment
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend this school for new riders. Adam and Kiefer are awesome and very knowledgeable instructors, I went in with no experience and was confident enough to be riding on my own by the time the course was done.
Fantastic experience: Just finished my course, and passed the MST on my first try. Just to mention I have never been on a street bike in my life. I was a bit nervous but after everything they tought me over the 2 days on the lot I not only learned how to operate a motorcycle but also by the end of the second day I felt confident in my abilities to be a safe rider on the open road! I definitely recomend doing this course before you hit the road. A like to give a big thanks to the whole First Gear Family for the time and care put into developing this amazing program!
Thanks Sid! We're glad you had a such a great experience with us. Thanks for taking the time to write about it :)
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend. Whether you're brand new or experienced, Adam and Kiefer will make you a safer rider and you'll have fun doing it!
Fantastic experience: Great motorcycle riding school, highly recommend! Fast paced learning environment but they always make sure everyone is up to speed. Very direct and honest teaching method, they will help you correct any mistakes quickly. Friendly instructors and a fun course!
Fantastic experience: Adam and keifer were my instructors. They were both very patient and calm. They corrected as necessary, and very knowledgeable especially Adam. Would highly recommend 1st gear to anyone who is thinking,about getting a motorcycle.
Fantastic experience: I highly, HIGHLY recommend 1st Gear! I walked into this course never riding a motorcycle before, nor have I driven a standard so I didn’t have a basic understanding of clutches and gears, so I was as green as they come. 3 days later I was riding a grom and passed my MST on the first go. Adam and Kiefer are awesome! They truly care about your safety and they really want to see you succeed. They’re also just all around good and funny guys. Adams humour really helped me let go of some of my stupid nerves and pulled me out of my own head. And I could tell they really believed in me, even when I started to question myself. Thank you so much guys!!! I can’t wait to start getting out to the lots on weekends and really practice all the skills you’ve taught me! :)
Fantastic experience: 1st gear riding school was awesome! Adam and his son Kiefer were great instructors and very knowledgeable at what they do. You don’t need to look anywhere else if you want training. Highly recommend these guys.
Fantastic experience: They have a variety of different bikes to choose from. I’m 5’2 so finding one where both my foot touches the ground was important. the teaching was dedicated and everyday was both informative and enjoyable. Greatly recommended.
Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend to start your riding experience at 1st gear. Lots of useful information and riding skills acquired in just one weekend including training for and passing the mst. Adam and Kiefer were great explaining and answering our questions with lots of contagious passion. On top of all I was able to try and ride different types of bikes and understand what I want as my first motorcycle.
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend you go with 1st gear ,I had the best instructors you could imagine they prepare you for the road and all the dangers that come with being a motorcyclist, its not as easy as jumping on a bike and riding around ! they go above and beyond they teach you and prepare you for the road and to feel comfortable on a motorcycle,and really instill safe riding habit,i had 0 experience on a motorcycle and they made it so easy and fun to learn, I am so so thankful I chose this school thank you Adam and Kieffer, I can't wait to go for my road rides and I feel confident on a motorcycle because of you two !
Thank you Annette! Our first 5 star review of 2023.
Fantastic experience: If you are looking for motorcycle school, THIS IS THE ONE. I came knowing less than nothing about riding, moreover, I've learned how to ride a bicycle only last year. So my case was kinda special. I took 3 days group classes and 2 individual trainings, and today I got out on the road, by myself. With almost no fear . Adam and Kiefer are absolutely amazing: understanding, supportive, knowledgeable, attentive. THESE IS ABSOLUTELY NO QUESTIONS ABOUT RIDING THEY CAN'T ANSWER. I can say I am honored to be trained by them. Thank you very much for all your work guys
Thanks Lexy! I will pass it on. Please come back and visit us next year.
Fantastic experience: All of the instructors at first gear were incredible. You could tell they really knew their stuff and were supportive to get everyone to ride to the best of their ability. Thank you, First Gear!
Thank you very much! This will be a long winter for you now that you are waiting for the warm weather to come back to ride.
Fantastic experience: Very great course. Great instructor's
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend. Friendly and knowledgeable instructors making class and training time a great and safe environment. Wonderful service doesn’t just stop when your classes end, over a year later and they still help out their students where they can. Thank you to 1st Gear Motorcycle!
Fantastic experience: 1st Gear is a great place to go to become a better rider. I learned so much. Well worth every penny. Will be doing more with them.
Fantastic experience: Love these guys & everything they’ve done for me! I went into this with zero knowledge & totally scared that I couldn’t do it & they helped me become a confident & competent rider in no time. There’s no messing around & at first u might wanna throw in the towel & quit, but if u stick with it you’ll be part of a super special community for life! Totally life changing - highly recommend
Fantastic experience: Had the best experience taking this course!
Fantastic experience: As a newbie and a woman, I can say this was a great course! I had way more fun than I had imagined but - more importantly! - learned so much! And that was partially due to the fact that I felt comfortable in their class, even though I know (knew!) absolutely nothing about bikes and am not a tough biker mamma! Supportive, encouraging but no BS!
Fantastic experience: Great team, g8 instructors, lots of fun and most importantly instructors do care about u - they want u to pass and want u to u stay alive and enjoy riding. I highly recommend them.
Fantastic experience: Had an excellent time, learned a bunch of things that I was doing were going to get me hurt and most importantly the skills to pass my road test on the first go a month after my course. Highly recommend
Fantastic experience: I would say this is an essential course for anyone looking to get into riding - well worth the time and money spent
Fantastic experience: I did the "Learn to Ride" course and a practice road test through 1stGear and went from no experience to full license in a month. I would highly recommend anyone who wants to even try riding do one of their courses. It was fun, practical and made me into a confident and safe rider!
Fantastic experience: I would very highly recommend going through 1st Gear Motorcycle Langley for your motorcycle training. Lee did a great job on the video presentation and the in class theory. Lionel and Kiefer both did a fantastic job with the hands on motorcycle training. They were very fair and clear with their instructions and always encouraging us to ask questions. They all made sure that you understood the techniques and demonstrated the skill before moving onto the next step. I had a blast. Thank you very much and I will definitely recommend people to your training school.
Fantastic experience: Thanks for the Excellent instructions.
Fantastic experience: Great place to learn how to ride. Adam and his family are amazing at what they do. Very well planned course. I would recommend this specific school to anyone who is looking to learn to ride.
Fantastic experience: Excellent value. Great school. I Loved that it was only one evening during the week and a Saturday and Sunday. More then enough time to feel confident on a motorcycle and have the skills needed to start riding. All instructors and staff are great.
Fantastic experience: After a bad experience with another driving school, I connected with 1st Gear Motorcycle School and Training. Absolutely the BEST way to learn to ride. Although Adam can come across a bit gruff from time to time but his knowledge base is phenomenal . The videos on his website to help you ride safely and competently were a great help to me. 1st Gear will be the only driving school I will recommend. Thank you for all your patience and hard work Adam, Kathy , Kiefer and Selina .
Fantastic experience: Had a lot of fun at this course! Adam can raise his voice quite a bit, but it's because he is trying to teach you life saving skills. Once you warm up to him he is like a big teddy bear. Would recommend this school to anyone. RIDE SAFE!
Fantastic experience: as a new rider, i would highly recommend Adam and his crew/family at 1st gear, not only will you get a thorough understanding of safety but also have the opportunity to fully familiarize yourself with the motorcycle, controls and movement, which is perfect for new and returning riders, at first i was skeptical of moto schools and thought i could just wing the mst and go but after taking this course, i fully believe that if i didnt take the course id probably die within the first 2 years. 100% this course is probably the best you can take in BC if you are newish to riding and want to keep riding for years to come. (p.s. just passed the mst in the rain 1 hour ago :D) thank you again Adam!
Fantastic experience: The absolutely best instructors I've had, great at helping you understand and grasp everything. Highly recommended 1st gear Langley to everyone.
Fantastic experience: if you take your course and get Adam, Kathy, Jeremy, Keefer...... you have the best team! I wouldn't trust anyone else. In my opinion: if you want to learn properly, this is where you go. Also, shoutout to Selina from the office.
Fantastic experience: This riding school was the perfect balance in order to learn how to ride a motorcycle for me. The instructors take full responsibility in making sure you develop the skills necessary to ride safely. I had zero experience on the controls of motorcycles before starting and in 1 weekend I am confident enough to say I understand what it takes to ride a motorcycle. Adam, Cat and Ted are the perfect balance of tough love and encouragement in order to gain a humble confidence that you will need on the road when the time comes.
Fantastic experience: Adam and Ted were amazing instructors. My wife was able to go from never riding a bike before to passing the MST test in a weekend. Once you have the basic principles down they go above and beyond with the skills they teach such as counter-steering through and around cones to simulate avoiding dangers on the road, emergency breaking situations, how to emergency break In corners, u-turns and much more. They teach to your experience level and challenge every student to be a better rider when they leave, whether you’ve never been on a bike or you have years of experience.
Fantastic experience: The Safety Rider course was amazing and a lot of fun to take. I saw new and semi-experienced riders learn fundamentals, road safety and life-saving skills from a wonderful team of enthusiastic, caring and fun instructors! I highly recommend taking training from 1st Gear in Langley! Adam and Ted are particularly awesome to learn from. Thank you for everything Adam, Ted, Cat and Selina!
Fantastic experience: Wonderful place to learn to ride. Great environment, great instructors who care about you succeeding. I highly recommend this class for new riders
Fantastic experience: This was one of the best learning experiences I have ever encountered...if you are looking to improve your riding skills and get out on the road I highly recommend booking this course you will not be disappointed!
Fantastic experience: clear, direct communication along with practical exercises with clearly stated and useful objectives. Like learning how to counter steer, avoiding objects and many more made for an intense and extremely useful course.
Fantastic experience: Had an excellent time over last weekend. Adam is a great instructor with a tough, but caring teaching style! I would definitely recommend this course for all new riders. I purchased a motorcycle prior to attending the course, now I feel much more confident on my new bike. Thank you to Adam and Raymond for all of their help.
Fantastic experience: Adam was the best teacher I could’ve ever had! After the course I went to a Honda dealership and confidently bought a brand new Honda CB500F. Which I also got a great discount and free gear on, thanks to Adams techniques! I confidently rode the okanagan hills after just 3 days of learning! I couldn’t believe I’d learn to ride, but after 3 days I turned into a professional thank you Adam! I have yet to learn more, but everything Adam taught me. Will for-sure make me a better and safer rider! THANK YOU ADAM!!!!!
Fantastic experience: i so injoyed adam and kathy showing me thing i needed to work on... how to take corners better and to be more confidence .... i cant exspress how thankful for there class.... jessyca
Fantastic experience: Adam was absolutely amazing! He cares about his students and puts their safety priority number one. I was someone who came to this course with absolutely no riding experience. But after taking this course, I know I have a long and safe future with riding thanks to the team at 1st Gear!
Fantastic experience: 1st Gear was recommended by a friend, took his advice. The instructors are great at what they do, and help you over come your issues in a manner that helps build your confidence, I would highly recommend taking training with these folks , I just can not say enough about the instructors, MONEY well spent!
Fantastic experience: 1st gear was an amazing experience for me. Adam, as an instructor, is tough on everyone, so if you are looking to get cuddled into passing the MST it's not gonna happen, that's what Raymond is there for. I came out of this course with skills and habits that will help me grow and a tremendous amount of confidence. Great job Adam, Kath and Raymond!
Fantastic experience: Adam was a really good instructor, made learning really easy , and he truly cares about the safety of his students. Would definitely recommend 1st Gear for anyone trying to learn how to ride a motorcycle skillfully. 5 stars.
Fantastic experience: I took the new riders course last weekend and being the only girl in the class who's also 4'11 surrounded by big men, I was intimidated to say the least. Small talks with Adam really helped, made me feel more comfortable and took away from the nerves. Whenever I struggled with something, both Adam and Ray took their time to explain to me what I was doing wrong and what I can do to improve. They also let me know what I'm doing well. The first day on the lot, I fell behind on one of the first activities but Ray caught me up. Both Adam and Ray were super patient, not once did they ever get angry or upset when I dropped their bike. The U-turns were the hardest, I couldn't do it at all on the 1st day, but on the 2nd day on the lot, I managed to get it down, same with not stalling the bike. Again, both Adam and Ray really took the time to help with best practices on how to complete a proper U-Turn. I was honestly super worried about the MSA, I thought I was going to fail. When I asked Adam how soon can I retake the MSA if I failed, he told me that I would be fine and I ended up passing the MSA on my first try!! I would definitely recommend 1st Gear for any future riders
Fantastic experience: Hi I just did my course last weekend...Adam and his team is awesome love the environment Raymond is the champ so calm and teach you all about how to stay safe on the road..Kathy will watch you and point out what you doing wrong she is great...Adam is just the best l love it how he teach you to stay safe on road and ride safely...these guys are the best highly recommend..I knew how to ride before I took the course but I learned a lot money well spend....thanks guys for making me a better and safe rider...God bless you all
Fantastic experience: Finished the course today and it is the best decision taking it here in 1st Gear. Amazing and extremely talented teachers that cares for you. ADAM ("Looking down and seeing what's in your odometer when stopped is like your IQ lol"), RAYMOND ("Look where you're going, the pavement isn't your destination"), TED ("Commit, Commit, Commit!") and KATHY ("Awsome Cheerleader!") they are the best! THE BEST! They're strict but informative, serious but fun. Not only do they teach you how to ride but they will engrave safety in your brain which is vital for riding. They will push you to be better but they won't rush you. They will make sure everyone is on the same page and make sure you're not falling behind. They will point out what you're not doing correctly and what you're lacking on and they will guide you thoroughly to be a better rider. All the praise and thank you so much to the Langley Team. Enrolling to the course is an amazing investment, no doubt! Will definitely spread the word about 1st Gear and recommend to family, friends and people interested in riding. *Prepare and take some Tylenol every after lot training :D
Fantastic experience: Me and my husband were so glad that we chose 1st Gear to learn motorcycles. Adam and his team were absolutely awesome, we learnt a lot. It was such a great and fun time with them. Definitely will recommend 1st Gear to all my friends. Thanks Adam, Raymond and Cathy so so much for helping us!
Fantastic experience: Adam and his team are professionals. They take your safety and everyone else's seriously while having fun at the same time. I enjoyed the course and would recommend them to anyone looking for motorcycle training. Thanks 1st Gear!
Fantastic experience: Took the new riders course with Adam as my instructor and Jason as an assistant. Both were very helpful and informational. Adam was strict and would raise his voice but only because he wanted to place emphasis on what it means to be a SAFE rider for people who are new to motorcycles. The best thing I gained from this course wasn't just the MST pass but also the ideas on how to be safe on the road and protect myself from external dangers. Every time Adam saw me do something that could lead to potential injury or death he always pulled me aside and told me those maneuvers can easily get me hurt. Now with my MST passed, I can stay safe, have fun, and enjoy the rides! Adam is a very ethical teacher and truly cares for his students' well being. Thank you Adam, Jason and all other helping staff!
Fantastic experience: Adam is very professional. I took this course as soon as getting my motorcycle license and it's the best choice I've made. Adam is very professional and takes his time teaching everyone independently based on their skill/confidence level. Thank you guys so much for building my confidence on the road!
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend 1st Gear for your motorcycle training needs regardless of your skill level. Adam Grainger is an excellent instructor with extensive motorcycle experience and a lot of really valuable wisdom to share. Book now - this is money well spent.
