Super helpful. Bike died on the last portion of the test. Was able to borrow a bike from someone to finish the test out ... the staff at SW Motorcycle helped me fix my bike to get home.
A big thank you!
Sacha Amundson
What a great experience! I am 46 and never ridden a motorcycle in my life. The instructors were SO incredibly knowledgeable, and supportive in making sure I understood the material and made sure I could perform the skills needed with confidence. I am excited to come back for another class in the future!!!!!

I took the LTR class last fall and finished my endorsement tests a few days ago. The instructors, especially Khembar are extremely patient and knowledgeable. They spend countless hours training riders and give nothing but tons of support and good advice. Thanks SO much!!

I had minimal experience riding a motorcycle prior to the Learn To Ride 2 day course I attended. The instructors were knowledgeable and passionate about teaching new riders. I recommend this course to anyone looking to start riding and learning about getting up and running on two wheels.

Took my "Learn To Ride" course here 2 days ago, going in with absolutely no experience on a motorcycle. The instructors, Khembar and Verne, both clearly gave a damn about teaching us how to ride safely and wanted to see us all learn the skills required to pass. The course was pretty fun and I definitely plan on coming back for a "Returning Rider" course later this year. Great place to learn new skills or unlearn bad habits.

I took this class a couple years back. I've been riding motorcycles since I was 6 years old. The instructors do a great job of keeping you thinking and learning. We had 2 people in our class of about 20 that had some real problems with the hands on road course, the instructors worked extra hard with them as the reat of us continued practicing for our final exam/tests. One passed, one failed but they encouraged the person to keep practicing and sign up again.

I took the LTR class with Khembar and Moe in March for my permit and then with Khembar and Joe a few weeks afterwards for my endorsement. On both occasions, I found the classes to be well presented and organized. There were a few notable lessons that I learned on both classes that made me realize why I experienced certain riding mistakes in the past, but more importantly, I learned how to correct them and apply better street riding strategies to avoid them.
Another good thing about the classroom portion: From time to time, the instructor (Khembar on both of my classes) would provide additional information to really illustrate why certain parts of the Washington Rider Manual are important to remember. This would include either his personal experience or a video/photo that showed what could potentially happen if some of these points are ignored, or what to do in case a rider finds him/herself in a similar situation.
The range portion of the classes were equally informative. The instructors would take time to properly teach technique and would pay special attention to students who need additional attention.
All in all, I would recommend these classes to anyone interested in learning how to ride or just brushing up on skills. I plan on taking the Advanced Road Training class in the future when it does become available.

My wife and I took the Introductory Riding course Apr 2 & 3 of 2022 in order to gain our WA. Motorcycle Permit endorsement. We found the class to be challenging, very informative and most of all fun. Our instructor, Moe, had a wonderful sense of humor and many years of riding experience which she was able to call upon to aid in the learning experience.
At the conclusion of our 2-day class we both successfully passed our riding skills evaluation and our written evaluation needed to secure our permit endorsement. I cannot speak highly enough of the great job that Moe and others at SW Washington Motorcycle Training do to help arm their students with the knowledge and skills neccessary to develope in to a proficient and safe motorcycle operator. I would highly recommend their classes to any interested person seeking to enter the world of licensed motorcycle operator or any person looking to gai new knowledge or hone their motorcycle skills.

I took the Can-Am 3-wheeler training course/endorsement. The instructors were great, very thorough, good communication. They took the time to make sure that we knew what we were supposed to do and why. Highly recommended.

I would highly recommend this place for taking your test. The instructor was great! He was professional and took the time to make sure everyone knew what was needed in order to be successful on the test. My bike was having fuel problems on the day of the test and he allowed me to jump start it in order to complete the course. I would also recommend taking advanced courses from this school. The owner and head instructor has a lot to offer and it could save your life. Thank you!

Over the past year, I've taken three classes with SW Motorcycle Safety. Starting as a brand new rider, I took the LTR for my permit. Six months later, I took the Returning Rider for my endorsement. And this past weekend, I took the OTR class. Khembar and team are fantastic instructors and it's obvious they actually give a sh*t about the culture and training people how to safely ride. The LTR is the only state required class, but I highly recommend spending the extra money taking the additional classes -- you will level up substantially in a matter of a few hours when otherwise it might take years, if ever, to get the same kind of improvements these classes offer. Think of training like wearing your gear. You might never need it, but you'll be glad you have it when you eventually do.

I have been there a few times as I let things expire. I have had 5 different instructors, all of whom are top notch. Such as Nate, he has a serious passion about training and helping people learn and goes the extra mile.

Took the 2 day Novice class. The instructors John and David kept things relaxed and fun. My driving is all on scooters so when I booked I asked if they had any automatic scooters I could train on. A 125cc Zuma was available and John and David really helped me improve my skills. Nice that I could train like I plan to drive. Should have done this years ago!

I went last weekend to do the begginer class my instructor's were Joe who was really calm and patient. I can't remember the other guys name but man he was hilarious passed both tests with ease and had a alot of fun and definitely recommend this place I already did a returning rider class back in june so I am now fully endorsed thanks guys!
Aaron Blackburn
My instructors were Nate and joe. Both were very clear with there instruction and in demonstrating the skills needed, they also gave positive feedback during range time to improve what I was doing. During the class portion there was plenty of time for discussions on the topics we were going over. At no point did I feel rushed, or that we didn’t adequately go over a topic.
I would also like to thank both of my instructors because I was in a hit and run just 2 days after completing my class and getting my endorsement, and because of them and what I learned i feel it made a big difference in the outcome of the accident. My bike was totaled and all I ended up with was a broken ancle and broken tibia, but that is because the car drove over my leg as they sped away.
If SWMS could reach out to me I would like to thank my instructors for everything I learned from them.

I took the intermediate level rider course and learned a lot of invaluable things here. The instructor and his assistant were great and would critique and give advice to each rider to push themselves withing their skill level. Be ready though its exhausting, so get your endurance up on a dirt bike if you have one! TIP: if you plan on getting your endorsement through this course level be ready to pass the written BEFORE the class.

Josh and Joe we're great! I highly recommend the beginners training course to hone your skills and learn new safe riding tips. The riding course was quite cramped at times. But overall a great experience. 👍🏍️ …
Abraham Servellon
Nate and Joe were great and patient instructors. You can tell they are passionate about riding and safety and pass that knowledge onward even if Nate wouldn’t teach me how to do a wheelie. Joe was definitely funnier
Brandon Perry

William Stepek
Taking the Novice class so I can hone my motorcycle riding skills,there is always something to learn from every experience in life.the instructor is top notch.
Mitchell Jacky
Although I had difficulty finding the location the first time I went there I did find that the testing was prompt and the facility was well-organized. I intend to enroll in more advanced classes in the future.
Sean Martin
Great staff and a friendly environment to learn to ride or take the tests to get a 2 or 3 wheel endorsement
