“I took the Basic Rider Course at Front Range Community College. I have only ridden on a motorcycle as a passenger and decided I wanted to finally ride myself. This class was awesome! Marsha Hall was our instructor and she was fabulous. Never lost her patience even though I am sure I did many things to try hers!! She was able to coach us very well and really make the experience great. I will definitely be recommending this class to my friends!” ~ FRCC motorcycle student ~
