"Just wanted to send you a note to express my feelings about the Riders Edge Class!! It was awesome! I came into it only ever riding a motorcycle 50' in a parking lot with my husband trying to teach me. That's where it ended...I felt so much more confident... that I could actually ride the Fat Boy® that I had just bought! People kept telling me to buy a smaller bike, you're going to dump it for sure. I didn't listen to them and I'm so glad that I didn't...I have put over 400 miles on the bikes in the last 3 weeks...Jim and Dennis were invaluable. They made the class fun and light-hearted, while still drilling the basics into our heads. I felt safe and the building block approach to the class made it a no brainer to learn to ride...it doesn't matter what bike you ride, its all technique...I sure did impress my husband by making a U-turn on my Fat Boy® without putting my feet down in a confined space on our first ride out together. WooHooooo!!"
