I took the class in Port Richey, FL, and it was great. Definitely worth it.

I took the NJ course and enjoyed it. The instructors knew the material and were very good at providing coaching so we could learn. It is an investment. I would recommend it.

The class is super and had a great time. Hey Matt, Your photo brought back memories of my first run up the Parkway. Just like that and I had a brand new scooter. I didn't even have 200 miles on it. Very glad to slide in to the motel at 9:00 p.m.

I live on the West Coast and wanted to take the class until I found out they are taught in FL. I did the next best thing and bought a couple of the videos. They are very informative. The obvious downside is you don't get the fun of the class experience. However, it can be great fun if you get a few friends together and run through the techniques as a group.

You may want to go back and check. Jerry Paladino has franchises all over and I'm pretty sure there is one in Los Angeles too.
