Anyone been to Valley Driving School for Motorcycle training?
 

So im looking to get into riding this season and after looking at PRS, Pro Ride... Valley Riding school seems to be the only one that has a schedule that works for me. After doing some research it seems like prs and proride are the top ones around town but I haven't been able to find many reviews on valley. Has anyone had experience with them and how was it? Also their location is another big factor for me as I live in tricities as well as the roads I am more familiar with for the road test.

You shouldn't be picking a riding school because you're "more familiar" with the roads. If you go and learn how to ride properly you should be able to handle yourself on any road.

Yeah thats a good point. Ive been reading mixed reviews about valley too so I think ill be going to 1st gear to learn.

You'll enjoy it at 1st gear, a great selection of bikes and great instructors.. When are you taking your class?

Yeah id like to try different styles of bikes for sure. Im leaning towards May 18 evening class... checking on the weather forecasts, every weekend seems to be raining tho.

I've always recommended PRS to anyone looking to take classes. Great group of instructors there.

1st gear is really good and a group of friendly instructors

I did my course last summer but afterwards sprained my left ankle and shit weather so didn't get a chance to get on a bike again until this past weekend. My first ride and the instructors allowed me to take my time to get reacquainted and made me feel comfortable even though I knew I was holding the entire group back.

As much as I hate riding in the rain like any other fair weather rider, being able to practice in the rain and dropping a bike you know you wont have to repair is actually a pretty good thing to practice.. Better to drop a practice bike in the rain than your baby.

1st Gear was my school. They're really awesome there.

I took Valley Driving School in Coquitlam and it was fine. I don't see a reason why not to go there. My reason for going to Valley is cause their schedules worked with my work schedule. Ride safe!
