This is my 2nd class with Lore at Biddeford. I was unable to finish the first class due to a health issue. I drooped out on 2nd day for medical, and Lore re scheduled me. Instructors in both classes were good, informative, and talked loud enough so we could hesr over our bikes engines. They want students to succeed but will wash out somebody not safe to ride. I highly recomment Lore.Instructors in both classes are very good

Couldnt ask for a better course. Majority of the class is on asphalt learning actually useful skills while being quizzed on your knowledge between evolutions. The entire course is organized and well thought out.

Holy smokes! I learned a lot and had even more fun! Instructors were amazing and made sure to explain everything clearly and made it super fun! They had an extreme amount of patients despite teaching this course for years and I would absolutely recommend this to a friend as it was recommend to me.

I think this could be a good course if you get good instructors and a functioning bike from the beginning especially if you have some knowledge and are already comfortable on a bike. It’s definitely more for auditory learners you are told how to do something once and you’re expected to understand from that point for us hands on learners doing it a few times to practice is not an option. You get to try an exercise 2 times that’s it and the second you mess up the gentleman leading the class would scream or make unnecessary remarks. It may be how some people learn but that certainly was not for me. If you want to learn or have any sort or encouragement about riding I do not recommend the class. I think they should offer a class thats less pressure, a beginners course where the only expectation is to learn. Due to the nature of offering permits etc it was rushed. I’m a quick learner but the course seemed to be set against me from the beginning. I started with a bike and we were learning the very basics I understood and was just getting use to it however the bike kept shutting down, mind you this was the section where we were to get a feel for the bike learn how to use the buttons etc. It was frustrating and when it would shut off it lead to holding other people up which was very annoying. Finally into the next section they switched out my bike (they did say it was the bike not me) however I was expected to be as smooth on it as the bike before but everything for knobs/switches was in a different place or had a different mechanism. It was really frustrating as each time anyone made a small slip up he would be screaming. For me personally that does not help me learn it makes me worse so it became unenjoyable very quickly. It was a shame because I know I really like it. Had I known I was paying $350 to be read a manual showed how to do it once, only have a time or two to practice all while being yelled at ... I certainly would not have done it. I feel like a more accurate representation of the class should be made. If they want to have more riders in that class performing well from the beginning they should have a basics course and bikes that function properly. Disappointed in the class I left early and I wasn’t the only one - most adults would not pay to be yelled at like a child for a new hobby they are trying to learn (the yelling wasn’t all safety related which I would understand). If you have experience, and work well from auditory directions and don’t mind being yelled at not taught then I’d recommend this class. Props to Diana who was the co-instructor she was a much better teacher, unfortunately I spent most of my time with the other guy. I’ll be practicing on a friends bike and retaking the class at another location.

Review of day 1 - expected (as in most classes) to sit and listen to lectures for 75% of the time. I was thrilled to find the instructors getting us on the bikes almost immediately. The exercises are carefully thought out to build on each other. The instructors are personable but push you to keep improving at every stage. So far, it’s exceeded my expectations greatly!Day 2 was equally great! Very glad I went with LORE. Instructors were fun and kind, but also pushed you constantly to be your best. Even after ending the class, I can still here them coaching me! :) Very appreciative!

Absolutely amazing course with even more amazing instructors!!! Josh and John were the best riding coaches you could ask for they are positive upbeat guys that give you the feedback and constructive criticism needed without creating a stressful riding experience. Barbra was outstanding going over course material while having a realistic level headed teaching style that also eases your nerves. Your skills will improve dramatically in a two day course, Could not be more impressed. I wish I could give them a 6th star!

Very professionally conducted. The information was given clearly and the steps were made simple. The staff is incredibly supportive and even though it is a lot of information it is presented easily and makes it so you can understand and comprehend otherwise complicated instructions and actions. 10/10

Amazing and very professional coaches to help all skill levels excel in this class. Hai is an amazing coach and his knowledge and patience have made this course top notch and one I’d recommend to everyone.

As a car driver that has never rode a motorcycle, dirt bike, or scooter I am incredibly proud of what I learned in this course. Not only were Josh and Barb supportive from the start but they never made me feel incompetent about my lack of experience. It is absolutely the support of my coaches that influenced the amount of information I learned. I will be recommending this group to anyone.

Lots of information, maybe too much for 15 hours. The instructors take the time to work with you at your pace and comfort level. I like how one of the coaches gave positive feedback along with an encouragement to try adding in another aspect; other was focusing on negative feedback and added to the stress of learning

Barbra and Hai where great to work with. Very knowledgeable and where not afraid to give constructive feed back which I feel is very important when you are trying to learn a skill. They made the class fun and Hais quirkiness kept me entertained and focused. High energy! Really glad I went through the weekend education with those two. There was an immediate difference in my ability to ride my 600cc Gsx-r the next day to work. Would recommend this school and location to anyone. Thanks Barbra and Hai! Hope to see you out on the road.

The Basic Rider Course is an excellent course that will teach you the proper way to ride. Ive been riding a little before the class, but felt fairly uncomfortable on my bike. After taking the course I feel very confident on my bike. The day after the course I took a long ride and loved it! Instructors Willie and Terry are amazing. They know their stuff when it comes to motorcycle riding. After a few years on the bike Id love to take an advanced riding course with Willie. I know the BRC is mandatory in the State of Maine, but if it wasnt I would still recommend that all new riders take this course through Lore!

Barbara, Hai, and Josh were awesome!!! If you want to learn how to ride properly they will show you with patience, encouragement, and discipline. They will make you want it and help you get it. Could not of asked for a better experience.

Well I work here so Ill be honest. Youll learn how to be safe. 90% pass with endorsement. 95% pass with permits. 100% are safer riders.

Had an awesome experience, way better than I had initially imagined. Even if youre a beginner, the instructors make it super easy to get riding. The instructors also clearly cared about making sure everyone passes, even went above and beyond with some 1 on 1 work with one of the students. Great job guys, definitely would recommend.

This was a fantastic and insightful class that is run by very knowledgeable and experienced riders. I had zero previous experience riding bikes, be that dirt bikes or motorcycles, and no experience with using a clutch and shiftig manually and within 2 days, this course gave me the knowledge and skill set to ride safely and confidently. I highly recommend this course to anybody; beginners or experienced riders.

I took the two day course and passed with ease. They really do a nice job showing you everything there needs to know about a motorcycle and the safety of it too. I really appreciate how well they helped me on getting my motor cycle license.

Instructors were great, class moved at a good pace, much more time on the bikes than sitting in the classroom. Since you dont have a choice but to take the MMSEC class if you want to ride in this state, I highly recommend taking this one. Left the weekend feeling much more confident and capable, and much less likely to crash and burn on my new bike.

For those first time riders looking for a safety class to get your license, look no further. The instruction provided in this course was clear and constructive with a focus on building defensive riding skills. After two days our class had learned the basics on bike maneuvering, throttle/clutch control and advanced obstacle avoidance. I would recommend this course to anyone looking to learn and hone their skills, whether youre starting out or have ridden for 5+ years!

Terrible I went through 5 motorcycles for various break down. Reasons as a new rider it was terrible the first words out of a instructor was “ I don’t want her in my group” related to I have never driven a standard and it made it worse every change of of a bike . Looking for my money back or another opportunity to work with professional instructors with bikes not breaking .

Nice instructors for a permit but that’s anywhere, horrible to get your license. People can do worse than you and Magically they will pass but you may not. Do not recommend. Edit- People were redoing, stalling, not following directions and plenty more on the exam. I never had a single stall or redo. A redo on the braking portion and I would have passed, being I was 1 point from passing and it gave me 3 points. With a bike that has new brakes so you have to be soft in the rain or they will lock up and I still had good stopping distance. But failed with out a retry that others got, leaving me 1 point away from getting my motorcycle license on their exam.
