We offer classes on learning to ride scooters and motorcycles every month during the riding season. Please call us at 503-363-0634 for information on signing up and reserving a spot. Cost of a class is $199, with lots of supervised practice! We meet Thursday and Friday evenings, practice riding Sat. and Sun, then finish up Monday evening. Once you pass the class, you receive a certificate you can take to DMV to get your endorsement to become a legal rider for two wheel motorized vehicles. No further test is required. Please scroll down this page for more information on the course. 2009 classes are all complete as of October. We will post 2010 class dates here later.
