A.J. (Anthony DePasquale) Testimomial 2-6-2011: Before reading my testimonial, let me tell you my story: Last year my brother was killed while riding his motorcycle when a car pulled out in front of him. Within the year, I too was involved in a serious motorcycle crash. ---- After taking Daniel & Karen Blecha's Easy Rider Motorcycle Training I say this to them: "You guys are life savers! If I had Not Taken this course, I would be dead!" They taught and showed not only what to do but WHY it was so important! They made me think about things that I never dreamed of before - not only about riding but driving and other parts of living well. ------Thank you Dan & Karen! ----- I'm looking forward to riding with you both!

Testimonial – From Matt Fitzpatrick  1-2011

Having successfully completed this course, I would be remiss if I did not leave this feedback:

First and foremost, this class was as much FUN as it was informative.

If you are interested in “just passing” (legally able to go get yourself hurt or worse), this course does NOT just do that! ---If you are really interested in riding safely and learning things that will save your life, THIS COURSE IS FOR YOU! The emphasis is on saving lives, both yours and others! This course will make you a BETTER CAR DRIVER too.

I am 67 years old, never ridden but decided to inquire about riding a motorcycle. 15 years ago, I had a bad accident to my left hand … yep, the clutch hand, that left me with limited mobility. When contacting Easy Rider, I explained my issues and needed to know before I invested in the course. Daniel & Karen even offered me the opportunity to visit and try beforehand the operation of the clutch. They even offered me the use of their “scooters”. I was determined to ride but learned that DETERMINATION IS ONLY PART OF RIDING – Much more is required!

I was taught things I never would have dreamed were important! I learned riding techniques and awareness that the novice (and even very experienced) rider would not even consider, without this course. Even experienced riders in the class WERE AMAZED at what they learned. One experienced rider in the class dropped his bike but was immediately complimented on how he dropped the bike (and the whole class discussed what was done wrong & what should have been done – WOW). This “fall” was in a curve. Fact: 40 % of fatal crashes occur in curves. That means all those riders probably did not know (were never properly trained) how to go around a curve. The correct technique is NOT how must do it. As Daniel says: “Ignorance may be bliss, but it also is deadly.” Yes, there is a “right way to do everything”. The wrong way causes major problems.

Easy Rider Motorcycle Training also offers an Advanced Course. It is “on your bike & must be insured”.

If you are sincerely interested, no matter your skill level in learning to ride SAFELY, CONFIDENTLY, and COMFORTABLY with vast knowledge of instilled in all, this course is for you. I highly recommend for ALL RIDERS. You can contact me at: Mattahew65@gmail.com!

Kind Regards  --- Matthew Fitzpatrick

PS: Even if no interest in motorcycles, you, your spouse, or your children will learn much about car driving and much more about living a great, successful life!

Dear Dan and Karen,

This weekend was a surprise!!! All previous advice (from others) was "Put To Shame" after learning solid techniques. Your encouragement gave me confidence which showed me how important it is to be in control and be smooth and comfortable! You are wonderful teachers! -----Thank you! Thank you! --Chelsea Spaulding ----Inverness, FL   -------------------------9-5-2010

Dear Dan and Karen,

I went riding last Thursday down A1A for the scenic rout... It was a great ride! I was able to avoid a crash with what you guys taught us in class... I had a guy cut me off and slam on his breaks to avoid hitting a turtle, I was watching this guy pull up to the stop sign and saw his wheels never really came to a stop so I started slowing down.... He whipped out in front of me and instead of getting mad and trying to ride his butt and scream and hoot and holler just continued to slow down and he slammed on his brakes and I was already slowing down so it helped keep a safe distance, He then swerved to miss a turtle that I couldn't see at the time, but with me continuously slowing down by the time I did see the turtle I had plenty of time to react for an escape.... other than that it was a nice smooth ride. Hope Labor Day was full of fun for you guys! have a good week and I'll talk to you guys soon! THANKS!!!!

Comments!!!!

Dear Dan and Karen,

You guys are absolutely the best motorcycle safety trainers. My neighbor Bruce recommended you for this class, he talked highly of you. Well his praise of you and your style of teaching was the understatement of the year for me. Not only are you excellent instructors but exceptional people. As a couple you enhance each other like I have never seen before. Dan and Karen you "are" making a positive difference in the world. I have been blessed to have met you both.

Easter weekend was the only time that I was able to attend your class. Being a single Dad of two young children it is hard for me to spend the time required to complete the course. Your sacrifice working holidays was a godsend to me. I am so grateful that you guys are not selfish and are truly doing this because you love it. I know that because of your unselfish teaching you have saved lives, enhanced lives and are making the roads more save for motorcyclists.

Unknown to you I am disabled. I like to call it "abled" I have serious nerve damage to both legs, especially my right leg and I am unable to raise my feet in the "normal" fashion. I was not confident that I would even be able to ride, shift, brake and so on. I didn't tell you of my difference from others because I didn't want special treatment, well we all got special treatment and on the first day you helped to boost my confidence.

I have made some new friends in your class, I hope to see all of them on the road. I will not forget your teachings and will be back for refresher training as I can afford. Dan and Karen I thank you from the whole of my heart for helping to keep me save on the road. Thank You!

Sincerely,
Michael Taylor

"The Best!"

I own several businesses involving retail, service and manufacturing. Also I am a long time rider who just happened to do what many others have done: fail to get their motorcycle endorsement for many years. Finally it caught up to me. That was a GOOD THING actually. I learned so much! One of my business locations is next door to a different training school than yours, so EVERY WEEKEND I have watched classes they give. What I saw was not worthy of anyone's time and money (even if it was free). I have heard from tons of customers & friends that Easy Rider Motorcycle Training is the BEST and the only one they send anyone to. THEY WERE RIGHT! I now hand your cards out to everyone and instruct all my employees to hand out your cards. We keep them on hand for all to see! Thank you Dan & Karen. ---Jim D --10-2009

• WOW!

  Thanks Karen & Dan!
  
  I never would have thought there was such a big difference! Next time I will listen to my wife! She said she heard you and your training are the best. My buddy wanted me to go with him somewhere else because he "got a deal" so I did. She came to you! I watched her going through both the riding and sat in your classroom and I must say I learned more watching your training than I learned actually taking the course in another place.-MY LOSS! I forever will only recommend your training programs to everyone!
  
  I now tell everyone to not settle for wasting time and money but go to EASY RIDER MOTORCYCLE TRAINING. Fact is I just signed up for your next EXPERIENCED COURSE for myself, my wife and several friends.
  
  You guys really TEACH! and make it fun too.
  
  Again WOW!
  
  See you both soon!

• I was told by others that I could never ride a 2 wheeled motorcycle, only a 3 wheeled "trike" at best. You told me that you were confident that "we can help you to become a very good rider" and you did just that. Thank you Dan & Karen! The class was great! Peter R. Liga, Port Orange, FL.

• Recently we successfully taught a gentleman with no legs, only prosthetics to ride well.
•  Another "success" was a totally deaf man who acquired his Motorcycle Endorsement.
• Our philosophy is that if one is willing to learn and work hard, almost anything is possible!

• With my over 20 years of  riding experience, Dan, I thought you were nuts until I tried what you told me to do. Cornering is now so easy. Wished I would taken the course years earlier! Pete from West Virginia

• Murray completed the course on 11/4/2007 and called the next day saying: "Karen, thank you so much for the course. Today I went riding as I often do. I was day-dreaming for just a second and was into a curve much faster than I should have BUT the motor memory skills you taught kicked in. I heard your voice telling me to look, press and roll on the throttle. I made the curve safely! Without the course I would have crashed!" Murray- Palm Coast.

Thank you very much, Dan & Karen, for the great training your school provided both of us!

The MSF course fulfilled a goal I was previously unable to obtain. Taking this course, (Basic RiderCourse) they were able to take me step by step on how to operate a motorcycle. Everything was so perfectly paced that I was able to get over any fears I had (namely dropping the clutch!). This course was the only way I was going to be able to learn the controls and learn to ride safely.

Now, I'm not left behind when my father goes riding with his friends on scenic journeys through Florida's countryside!

I recommend this course over any others out there, just call 386-793-3262 to register.

Dear Fellow Cycle Enthusiasts,

I have been riding for the better part of 20 years and I first took an MSF class in 1987. I recently completed the BRC here in Flagler County and just want everyone to know  the staff are a fantastic group of people and the Basic Rider Course is a great program for the brand new as well as experienced rider. Even if you are brand new to the sport of motorcycling, don’t worry about a thing! You will be treated with dignity, patience and like you are one of the family. For me, it was good to know the good habits I picked up almost 20 years ago as a result of MSF training have stuck with me and the program is a fun and worthwhile way to get your Florida motorcycle endorsement.

I highly recommend the MSF course to anyone thinking about getting on a motorcycle, regardless of experience or gender. These folks are simply the best!

I had a great time taking the MSF Basic RiderCourse. It was a very informative class and the trainers "knew their stuff". Actually, this is my second time taking the course. I first took the course in 1989. I haven't been riding for years and needed "my motorcycle mojo back". So, I just bought a new 2004 Honda VTX 1300 and took the course.

My husband and I were riding the other day and got caught in a downpour. We were heading back home on Rte 100 and the school busses were leaving so traffic was backed up. We inched our way through the traffic and finally got moving right around the hospital. My husband was leading and we were in the left hand lane. The right lane is a turn only lane to get on I-95. A guy driving a pickup truck cut right in between us and I had to react very quickly. I had to apply both brakes because my front tire was inches from his truck. I started to go into a rear wheel skid and I was able to release the brake; reapply it, and keep the bike upright without hitting the truck or going down. It was like all of you were talking to me at that moment.

I really believe that if I had not taken your course, I would have been hurt....and my hubby agrees. He said he was so thankful that I had taken the course and didn't panic and was able to react properly and control the bike.

I have now ridden almost 2000 miles on the Sportie and that was the first time that I had a close call.

You can never let your guard down--not even for a second. I just hope that the next time a situation arises; I'll be able to handle it as well. That's why we are both going to take the Experienced RiderCourse after I get more riding time in.

Just thought you would like to know that you really do make a difference.

Thanks again,

The MSF Course was a great class to take. The Riding Coaches were wonderful and very helpful.

I had just bought a motorcycle about three weeks before and had done a lot of studying of the manual, but the MSF Course" gave me better understanding of riding motorcycles. It helped my confidence and taught me ways to ride my motorcycle safer and better. Knowing those things and applying them help me to enjoy riding my motorcycle a lot more. I definitely will be taking the advance riders class when I get the opportunity and will probably be bringing my girlfriend so she can learn how to ride with me.

Just saying I am glad I took the class is a big understatement. If anyone is not sure about taking the class, you definitely should, it's well worth your while. I'm sure it will save you from an accident and possibly save your life!  That makes it worth taking, doesn't it?

Thanks you guys
You guys definitely save lives!

Hey all. My name is Jacqui C, from Palm Coast Florida.

I took the MSF Course (can't remember the exact date- sometime in May this year). I signed up for the course after moving to Florida last year, and decided that after 20 years of dreaming of riding, and going through a battle with breast cancer, that it was time to realize this dream. Taking the Pre-Course AND the regular Basic RiderCourse was the BEST investment I have ever made.

I had never ridden a bike before, my whole experience was on smaller mo-peds. Mark and John were extremely patient, thorough and meticulous in driving home all the important skills needed to be a safe rider, and to be able to enjoy the ride. They covered all the important aspects, and monitored the class in a way that encouraged the best from everyone, no matter what their individual skill set. We had fun and got to make friends in the class.

I left the class enthused and excited to be riding. I started out on a Yamaha Virago 250CC (similar to one on the course). After one month of riding, I am now on a Yamaha 1100 Classic! All of the things that John and Mark taught, I have used over and over, and it has made my riding experience a safe and positive one.

I would also like to recommend US 1 Powersports. I was referred there by Mark and TJ, and told that I would be treated with respect and not "sold" a bike, but put on something that I could handle. TJ and Mark were not wrong. Dan is not only a wonderful salesperson - product knowledge and what suits an individual - but he CARES about everyone that walks into that showroom.  Dan has a passion for riding that he wants to share with everyone. He made me feel very comfortable, and being a woman I was worried that I would be "hustled". Dan sat and explained every option that I had, assisted me with financing, and after a month of riding the 250cc, he went above and beyond to get me my dream bike- Yamaha 1100 Classic. After you have been trained to ride by Mark, go and see Dan, and you will be on top of the world! Thanks Dan! <hug>

I highly recommend Easy Rider Motorcycle Training MSF Course - their passion, zeal, thoroughness, care and knowledge will carry you into the world of riding with a distinct advantage - for life. I am so happy, that I intend to sign my sons up for the program they may have for kids to learn about dirt bikes. <waves>

<hugs> Hey TJ! Hey Mark! Hey John! <hugs>
Thanks guys - I love riding!
Now UP TO: Yamaha VStar 1100 Classic

With very limited riding experience I wanted to make sure that I learned the basics. This course (Basic RiderCourse) met and exceeded my expectations. The class structure was very well prepared which made learning easy. The instructors are incredible. Their passion for safe motorcycling is evident with the step-by-step instruction. I didn’t just attend a class, I have a new hobby and I made new friends. I just took my first daytrip on my new bike to Georgia. I ran out of day before I ran out of fun. I’ve recommended the class to all of my friends that have an interest in riding and now I encourage you. . . stop reading testimonials and register today. You will have a great time learning to ride safely.

Thanks to the ENTIRE staff.

I am so grateful for the excellent training you gave me. I felt comfortable from the beginning thru the end (pouring rain and all ) of the course (Basic RiderCourse ). You guys are great teachers/trainers and the course was an experience I think everyone thinking of riding should take.

Thank you so much!

Thanks to you folks at the MSF Course, here in Palm Coast. I am having a SAFE and ENJOYABLE time riding my motorcycle. The course offered excellent info, i.e. book learnin' ,as well as, extremely valuable practical experience on the outdoor motorcycle proficiency course. The knowledge gained from this course continues to help me every time I climb on my bike and venture out into the street.

I was also very impressed with the insight, personal experiences, and guidance the Rider Coaches willingly offered to enhance my knowledge and learning experience. In addition, I will always be grateful to Mark and Rich for the genuine advice and recommendations when I began researching the purchase of my motorcycle. It sure helped!

Thanks again. I am looking forward to enrolling in your Experienced Rider Course.

Not To Be Missed!

That is in short what I experienced on the MSF course. Being what I felt was an rider with some considerable experience I approached the Basic RiderCourse with a degree of "not sure I need this" feeling. To then find myself among many experienced riders and the odd newey' was not only good fun, but a positive learning experience. We all had some stories to tell. My adage of "we never stop learning in life" came through again as I recognized and learned a great deal, and also ironed out the odd bad habits. The fact that what you learn on the course could also save your life, one fine day, makes it a must for any rider.

I use the applications taught to me every time I ride. I didn't realize the small things I would do wrong while riding my bike before taking the class. Challenging as the course is, I would recommend it to everyone who enjoys motorcycles!!!!

Thank you so much. You've given me techniques that will stay with me forever. Great RIDING!!!!!

P.S. Tell Rich I still want my gold star.

THE INSTRUCTORS THAT I HAD WERE PERFECT, THE NOVICE LEARNED AND THE BETTER RIDERS LEARNED, WE WERE ALL GIVEN THE SAME ATTENTION. 

THIS IS A SUPER WAY TO REALLY LEARN ABOUT 'SAFE' BIKE RIDING, AND BELIEVE ME EVERYONE SHOULD TAKE A CLASS, EVEN IF YOU HAD A LOT OF RIDING TIME. THEY COVER IT ALL.

DO YOURSELF A FAVOR, TAKE THE CLASS AT PALM COAST, THE INSTRUCTORS ARE SUPER GUYS, AND IT WILL SURELY BENEFIT YOU.

As a new bike owner, and not been on a motorcycle for many years, without a doubt I needed the training necessary to safely ride my new toy. RC's Mark and Rich took me through the weekend course and provided block of instructions during the road course that greatly helped me gain confidence. The Basic RiderCourse provided the tools and techniques, that when properly applied, will help me become a good offensive and defensive rider.

No second thoughts about this course. I strongly recommended.

Enjoy the ride!
