"Very experienced instructors who shared important skills and knowledge that every new rider should have. I took this course with my 17-year-old daughter and we had a great time and feel much more confident about riding on our own now."

― Dan Lawless

"The beginner course was PHENOMENAL. I had no previous experience and left feeling ready to ride. Peter was such a great teacher fun and light when appropriate but also serious when called for. An A+ company."

― Kristen Baylis

"Great time at Iron Buffalo, we got over 25 miles of practice in two days and a good class size for learning. Chadwick and Doug were a great Odd Couple pairing and provided concise feedback. My girlfriend and I decided after the class were more comfortable continuing our learning on dirt bikes before moving to the road, partially due to the instructors focus that the basic class is just an intro class and not THE motorcycle training course..."

― Adam Cansler

"My daughter (18) and I (43) took the class together, and it was fun and informative for both of us. We both went in with zero skills / experience and came out with a motorcycle endorsement, and a solid understanding of how to be safe and responsible on the road. I can't say enough good things about our instructors, Tana & Jiri..."

― Elizabeth Bierbach

"I had some experience riding in the past but i wanted to do a license and training course to get my endorsement. The instructors Bob and Chadwick were amazing i saw other students in class who had never been on a motorcycle become competent riders. Total Control learning material was very informative and was easy to under stand..."

"I took the trike training class. The classroom part was a 3 hour zoom class. This was great, because it made our on the bike training day shorter and more fun. The class was small which was great to have better attention from the instructor. Lot's of good information and training. I highly recommend taking this class if you are going to ride a trike of any brand."

― Marla Hawkins

"Where do I start ! Such an amazing experience. I learned so much in the class that when taken the test it was like an overview. The instructors were all helpful and knowledgeable. They had much patience to teach and Reteach. The class and course was fun best thing I ve done all 2020!!!"
