Riders Guide to Shifting Smoothly

Shifting gears on a motorcycle differs from shifting gears in a car or truck, and many new riders may not have manual transmission experience. It can take some time to master the basics of shifting smoothly, but with practice, novices can wind up shifting like total pros.

What Motorcycle Gear Do You Need?

Learning to ride a motorcycle is one of the most rewarding experiences you can give yourself. It’s chalked full of excitement, gratifying new skills, and the inexplicable sensation of being fully immersed in your surroundings as you ride. In order to learn to ride, of course, you need a good bike. What you choose to ride can say a lot about your level of comfortability as a new rider, but also a lot about your personality and character. But the bike isn’t the only thing you’ll need to invest in.

What Do I Need to Know About Getting My Motorcycle Licence?

Riding a motorcycle takes the feelings of freedom and independence we get from driving a car and turns things up to 11. The open road, the wind on your face, and the sound of a v-twin or 4-stroke engine between your legs can be a fantastic experience - but first - how do you get your motorcycle licence?

Motorcycle Helmet Buyer’s Guide

There are few things that can rival the feeling of freedom and exhilaration manifested when riding a motorcycle, with the wind flowing over the body with the sounds of speed all around. The sensation is thrilling, but it also comes with certain compromises, particularly when it comes to personal safety. You should always give yourself the best odds with top quality safety gear, like a helmet that is properly constructed and fitted to you.

"A special “Thank You” to you. From what I was told, you never let my daughter put her guard down. Good for you.

I appreciate all the hard work and dedication you’ve given to my daughter. I will recommend Valley Driving School to as many people as I can.

Again, “Thank You” to everyone. Who knows…maybe my daughter will be back for other types of drivers training ie: motorcycle, standard, or even semi-trucks. Could happen. She ‘loves’ to drive.  

Best regards"
