V-Twin Motorcycle Riding School

I took the full motorcycle training course this summer. The instructors are excellent, and patient with people who have no experience on bikes. Taking the skills test during the practical training is a great way to get approved to ride alone since they cover everything you need to do. The two weekends spent learning to ride put me on the road with the skills and confidence to be a safe rider. Happy to say I've passed my road test and now have a full licence. Highly recommended taking the training for a motorcycle here, especially if you're a complete novice.

If I could write two different reviews - one for the instructor, and another for v-twin as a company I would! Maarten, who was my instructor for the Accelerated rider training, was absolutely great! And would give him 5 stars as an instructor, he did a great job of tutoring me and helping me to feel comfortable, knowing when to push me but also when to take a step back. Sadly my customer experience with V-twin outside of this wasn’t to the great standard that the instructor provided. I’d booked my accelerator rider training for end of season 2020 and took the theory, and understandably when the snow came early my training was cancelled. I was told that as soon as V Twin opened for the 2021 season I would be contacted right away to book in my training since I’d already paid. When it came to early March, I figured I’d just send a follow up email, asking roughly when V Twin would start the trainings back up. I didn’t hear anything back after a couple of weeks, but happened to be driving one day and saw the new rider course happening. I tried calling to see if I’d be able to book in my training since V Twin seemed to now be open, and left a message. After again not hearing back I called and left a message, and then followed up with an email. I eventually received a call from an unknown staff member (they did not introduce themselves or that they were calling from V-Twin) and they were extremely rude to me over the phone, being very abrupt whenever I tried to ask a question about the training. The person was so rude I was made to feel like I had done something wrong, even though all I was trying to do was inquire about a service I’d already paid for.

I had such a great experience with V Twin! I had never rode a motorcycle before I took the New Rider Course - I was very nervous, but they went through all of the basic skills and by the end of the second weekend I was riding around town with no issues. Gordon was a great and patient instructor!

This group is AWESOME. If you're planning on getting your license, take the course from these guys to get prepared. I had wanted my motorcycle license for all my life, and now after 30 years, I finally have it because of the excellent instruction, communications, guidance and enthusiasm from Dan, Bill & Martin (sorry guys, not sure on your last names). I was very nervous starting out as I had never really ridden a bike before and by the time I was finished the course, I had so much more confidence. I felt I had learned how to properly handle a bike and what the differences for driving were (compared to driving a car/truck). Also, because I had taken the course, I got an hour and a half of private instruction from one of the instructors, plus the use of one of the course bikes, before and for taking my road test. That was HUGE - it made me much more relaxed going into the test. The instructor stuck around until I was finished. When I passed WHOOHOO!!!, he and I rode the bikes back to the storage unit and off I went, in all my glory (I was stoked). I am elated to finally have my license (and a new bike!!) and there's no doubt I got it from having taken the course and done some practising in between. Thanks V-TWIN, Ride ON!! Kelly

“Highly recommend” you take your training with V-Twin Motorcycle Riding School. If you plan on getting a motorcycle; it is a MUST to learn from the professionals. It’s invaluable training that will absolutely make you the best rider you could be. Their training has made me knowledgeable about motorcycles and riding techniques, which has ultimately made me a confident rider that I ride my motorcycle year-round. I will be forever grateful for the above and beyond training that I was provided with. V-Twin you guys are the BEST!!! Thank-you so much❤️

I recommend V-Twin. Enjoyed the practical portion the most (of course). Matt was a knowledgable instructor with a great sense of humour. It was a lot of fun. Try to book early or late in the season if you want to avoid getting toasted in the summer heat.

I took the learning to ride course with V-twin. I had little knowledge and basically zero experience with riding motorcycles. In just about two weekends after doing online theory I was taught all the basic skills from pre-inspection to control in a safe environment at low speeds to highway and residential areas. I would highly recommend this to anyone; even experienced riders wanting to brush up the important basic skills or take a more difficult course. The lessons I learned from this school have proved to be a tremendous achievement and confidence boost that is making riding that much more enjoyable. I tip my hat to the entire team that has made great memories come true. Thanks again V-twin!

The instructors were all great. Gord is really good, he pointed out something specific I was doing wrong, which helped me learn to do U-turns really well. On the road test I did a flawless U-turn. Don't bother using an email address on their website, they don't respond, you have to phone. Anneke at the Vernon phone number was nice and helpful
