SOCAL Riding Schools?

My Fiance is looking to start riding and I am looking for a riding school or ABATE (Indiana thing) class that is located near Ontario CA. She has never rode before and at this time, does not have a bike so a class that would provide motorcycles would be great. My close to 500 lb TL1000R isnt the best learning bike for a 120 lb female. any help is appreciated!!!

Motorcycle Safety Foundation is the way to go. They provide the bikes.

First, try MSF. They teach all over and normally provide bikes.

Second, if you want to have a happy marriage, never publish your future wifes weight on a public forum. Females tend to be a little wierd about those things. The marriage advice is free!

Re: SOCAL Riding Schools?

I took one in Redlands at the airforce base and it was great. They provided the bikes and there were several women in the class and a few were brand new riders. Everyone passed and one of the women that had never riden before did better then her boyfriend that was already riding. It was So Cal Motorcycle training Inc. Ride Rite Inc. they have classes on Thur Fri Sat in Corona or the Sat Sun Classes at the airforce base in Redlands the office is in Norco and the Instructor was Martin Argo 951-736-8179. Hope this helps Good luck.

Re: SOCAL Riding Schools?

MSF is the way to go, I'm 5'4 and ahem 128 (it's okay if we say it!). They will provide her with a bike that fits just fine. I was on a Kawai Eliminator, totally flat footed!!! LOL

She will love it!
