Testimonials

“This was a great class, and I would recommend it to anyone who may be interested in learning to ride.”from a 2010 student who took our MSF Basic RiderCourse.

“Instructors were great, everything was explained and gone over in great detail. I can not believe how much of the information I learned is used in my riding. Big Apple Motorcycle School gave me the confidence to purchase my first motorcycle. Thank you Diane and George.”from Chris of Ronkonkoma, a 2010 student who took our MSF Basic RiderCourse.

“I found the first two hours of riding hard. I didn’t think I was cut out for it. But with the instructors continuing helpful suggestions (I expected them to be demeaning like drill sargents but they were not), everything started to click and go into slow motion. I think all the instructors (Diane, George, Dave, and Jerry) were great. If they can teach an old [dog] to ride a motorcycle almost anyone can do it.”from Dave of Suffolk County, a 2010 student who took our MSF Basic RiderCourse.

“I enjoyed myself immensely, the experience of the classroom to the range including all of the range instructors are to be commended on every level. They helped bring confidence to my riding.”from Jeff of Oakdale, a 2010 student who took our MSF Basic RiderCourse.

“Big Apple did a Great Job getting me ready for my road test. The last time I was on a bike was in the 70’s and I passed my road test on the first try. Diane & George are Pros making you feel confident and safe. I plan on taking more classes to become a better rider. Thanks for everything.”from John of Massapequa, a 2010 student who took our Road Test package.

“I can’t say enough about BAMS – everyone who had a hand in my education and developing my moto skills is a top-notch professional, as well as being attentive and considerate. They also did a wonderful job accommodating me with my difficult work schedule. I’m looking forward to taking additional classes with them, and I’m recommending their advanced classes to my friends who already ride.”from Celia of Sea Cliff, a 2010 student who took our Novice Rider package.

“I am an adult learner and I ask a lot of questions; Diane and her staff were very patient and made my experience an awesome one. Love this school”from Jacqueline of Brooklyn, a 2010 student who took our Novice Rider package.

“I’m so glad that BAMS was recommended to me by my motorcycle dealership. Diane and George were extremely professional and provided continuous feedback on how I was performing during each training exercise. I learned technical skills that you need in order to pass the road test of course, but more importantly, they taught me to be a more aware and safe rider. I had only ridden a dirt bike a few times (almost 20 yrs ago) before taking the course but I passed the DMV road test easily and have already put 150 miles already on my new bike – and I only finished the BAMS course 1 week ago!!!! I’m sincerely thankful to George and Diane and would recommend them to anybody getting their license for the first time or just looking to be a better rider. Thanks again guys.”from John of East Meadow, a 2010 student who took our Novice Rider package.

“Having never riden before I was very happy with the training I received at Big Apple . They took me step by step through the learning process so that by the time I was to take my road test I was very confident . I’ve been riding for a few weeks now and am confident in my training and look forward to returning to Big Apple to expand on the driver training . I’d highly recommed Big Apple for anyone wanting to learn how to ride . Two thumbs up !!”from Jeffrey of Levittown, a 2010 student who took our Novice Rider package.

“So, you’re thinking of riding a motorcycle, and want some extra help? You get what you pay for. I say this because intially I was going to attend another riding school which did cost less and would have allowed me to not take the NY road test. Boy am I glad I didn’t. Teaching at Big Apple was 1 on 1, 2 on 1 and sometimes all 3 instructors for 1 student. Diane, George and Dave were all fantastic in their teaching. They teach the rights and wrongs, and don’t criticize or belittle you if you mess up. The professionalism from Big Apple is 2nd to none. Think about that when your class size is 10 – 12 students and one teacher. I was recommended by a friend, and will recommend Big Apple to anyone who is interested in the propper riding techniques.”from Chris of Williston Park, a 2010 student who took our Novice Rider package.

“It was well worth it and I learned things I didn’t even know I had to know about motorcycles and motorcycle riding.”from David of Lynbrook, a 2010 student who took our Novice Rider package.

“I was extremely happy with Big Apple Motorcycle School. The instructors were very knowledgeable and really cared about me not only passing the road test, but also to be a better and safer driver. Although I already passed the road test without a problem thanks to their help, I still plan to take further lessons to enhance my skills. Thanks!!!”from a 2010 student who took our Intro to Motorcycling package.

“The best way to learn how to ride. Diane and George were nothing but knowledgable, courteous, and attentive to each individual need.

“I really enjoyed the classes and they were very helpful!”from Scott of Deer Park, a 2010 student who took our Novice Rider package.

“It’s been just about two years now since I took your classes, and I haven’t looked back. I have over 10,000 miles on my Vulcan 1500 Classic now, and I have to say that you guys did a great job training me. I received many compliments on my riding in my first year and I’ve been all over New England with groups and solo. “from Michael of East Northport, a 2008 student who took our Novice Rider package.

“Once I got off that bike at the road test, other riders said to me immediately, ‘I can tell that you took that lesson with Big Apple’. Right then I confirmed what I already knew, what great teachers Diane & George were. Thanks so much!”from Vinny of Massapequa, a 2009 student who took our road test package.

“When I started my lessons, I was intending to only ride in rural Connecticut with a friend. I thought I might buy a motorcycle in 3-6 months. Big Apple Motorcycle School instilled such confidence in me that I bought a motorcycle two hours after passing the road test for my motorcycle license. I wholeheartedly recommend Big Apple Motorcycle School.”from Todd of Yonkers, a 2009 student who took our novice rider package.

“Your school was excellent! I entered as a person that had never sat on a motorcycle, and I was able to pass the road test without a problem.

At the same time, you prepared me for successfully taking and passing the NYS motorcycle road test. I will not hesitate too recommend the Big Apple Motorcycle School to friends and family! I wish you the best luck and success in the future and I will see you when my son is ready to take lessons himself.”from Joe G., a 2008 student who took our road test package.

“When I began this training I didn’t even know how to start a motorcycle. You both took me step by step through the fundamentals of motorcycle operation. You provided an environment that was both friendly and conducive to learning. As the lessons progressed I was presented with different techniques for safe motorcycle operation. Each lesson built upon the previous one. From pre-tripping the motorcycle to driving in traffic each item was conveyed in a very logical and easy to understand manner. Unlike other motorcycle schools, Big Apple provides you with one on one instruction. I found this to be the most valuable aspects of the training. In the end I leave with confidence in, and respect for the safe operation of a motorcycle. Thanks again for everything!” from Mark M. of East Northport, a 2008 student who took our novice rider package.

“I am so happy that I chose the Big Apple Motorcycle School to learn to ride. It was the best choice I could make because my instructor’s attention was directed ONLY on me. After the first lesson if I had had any doubt initially, all my concerns were lifted and I never felt so positive. One more thing…when I finished the road portion of my road test and came back to where the other students were waiting to take their test, I received a wonderful compliment on my circles and figure 8’s and I have to say that I owe all of that to Diane. She really over emphasized the importance of turning my head and looking at her which helped me so much. Thanks Diane and George! See you on the road”from Carrie of Plainview, a 2008 student who took our novice rider package.

“The Big Apple Motorcycle School was an incredible way for me to learn all of the basic and some advanced techniques that are incorporated with the handling of a motorcycle. The two on one approach with George and Diane was a great way to really hone in on many of the key points of riding and emphasizing a considerable amount of time on safety practices and responsible riding, especially with regard to proper attire and being seen on the road strategically, so that others are aware of your presence and you can enjoy yourself on the open road with much greater confidence in yourself and the others around you.
