| LF: Motorcycle School *newbe*
Hi Everyone,
I just passed my knowledge test. I am looking either for private lessons or group lesssons. What do you guys think is best? I know of these schools but can't find any reviews for them:
-PRS
-Sunday Motorcycle School
-Action Motorcycle School
If anyone is interested, maybe we can get together for the same class and get a discount if we get enough participants.
thanks for your inputs !

I went to Pacific Riding School, loved it...
I think the instructors there are great...and in a way, you join a community of other riders as PRS is quite popular in the lower mainland

PRS, no regrets
agree with night school B with Dat, learned so much and had a ton of fun
I cant imagine being in the parking lot during the day doing slow speed riding/talks while in the hot sun

At the same time you can sometimes tell by their riding style who has gone to PRS without even talking to them. I say sometimes because there still are those who have done the PRS course but kept their ego's with them. That or just randomly yell Seattle Portland at a rider and see how they react lol.
I'll add another +1 for PRS. best $800 I've ever spent.

The ride out to the Summer Meet from the Pre Meet showed that most rider took a riding course.
In a group we always kept the proper ride positions (1 and 3) shoulder checks made it a much safer ride.
And I did not go to PRS but Open Road, but if taught properly it is all the same.

Thanks for all the replies
I will be joining JITBC motorcyle training in Oct
If anyone is interested let me know
For gears so far I looked at Imperial Motorcycle, Second Gear Coquitlam and Kawasaki Store in Burnaby. I've heard Modern sells a set for roughly 500-700$, this includes gloves, pants, jacket, boots and helmet. Sounds like a good deal. Will check it out soon=)

My friend is taking pro ride next week, although I told him NOT TO and ONLY take PRS he insisted due to timing.
But I heard nothing but bad from Pro Ride > PRS

I tell people who want to ride
If you are Young, Asian or want to ride a Sport Bike PRS is the place to go
If you are older and want to ride a cruiser Open Road
The best second choice is Justice Institute
The difference between PRS & OpenRoad is the style of teaching not that one is better than the other but young and older people learn different.
