WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE YOU REGISTER.

Saddleback Rider Training is committed to bringing you a positive and supportive experience and doing everything we can to ensure your success. However, not every student will successfully complete the California Motorcycle Safety Program course. If you cannot meet the performance objectives or if you pose a safety risk to yourself or others, an instructor may counsel you out of the course. Please note: Once the course has begun, there are no refunds.
