My instructor was Dennis and he is phenomenal. I had never even turned turned on motorcycle before, never road a dirtbike; I had zero experience. After taking the course, I could go buy a bike tomorrow and feel confident enough to ride safely. I enjoyed the course, the material, the content, and variety of learning methods. There was a wide variety of experience amongst the students but everyone said they were happy they took the course. There is more time outside on the bikes than in the classroom wouand I would consider taking the advanced course after buying a bike and gaining more experience! I'm completely satisfied and would recommend First MSP. Read Less

If you want to improve your skills as a new rider or seasoned motorcyclists this is the place to go. I'd advise getting at least 20+ hours of parking lot practice under your belt and taking the online course a couple times to immerse yourself into the sport first in order to be able to fully appreciate the course and soak up all the knowledge like a sponge. My instructor Gene taught me skills that may save my life one day and I know I'm a better rider having been able to learn properly from a veteran motorcyclist. He was not just teaching a curriculum he was sharing years of his experience in the saddle. Read Less

I payed for the rider course, $275. I was late because my bike broke down on the way in. I showed up at 9:00 after having my pops bring me a fresh plug. They refused to help me out in any way, claiming that 90% of the course fee goes to insurance and other expenses and was already spent. I have a ton of experience riding motorcycles since I was 7, I don't think I would have missed anything I didn't already know in the first hour. Long story short they ripped me off for $275 and I received nothing. The only reason I took this course is because the were no road test appointments available. I don't feel this is ethical, regardless of how they spent my money, I paid for a service that I did not receive. Waiting to hear a response regarding a fee waiver or a refund but not holding my breath. Read Less

Just finished the Basic Ridercourse with these guys. Have to say I'm fully satisfied with the experience. I went into it with virtually no riding experience, and came out with some basic skills, and what I feel was a very good appraisal of my aptitude with them. I did pass the class, but the instructors were very good in imparting to me the understanding of just how basic my abilities are, and what areas I am most needing practice in. Overall I'd say that the class was worth every penny of the reasonable price. Read Less

I'm surprised there are no reviews here yet. This is an excellent program for anybody interested in motorcycling, and the instructors at First MSP/Groton Cycle Center are awesome. I just took the class here last week and had a blast and learned a bunch, things that have already made the class worth the price in avoided medical bills. They even made it a comfortable and enjoyable experience for a few in the class who had zero experience with motorcycling. No tough guy MC types, and no judgement - all are welcome. Really can't recommend it enough, A+. Read Less
