SafeRide Motorcycle Training

Fantastic experience: David S and Lindy were absolutely great to work with . I came in to the class a bit nervous because I had never rode a motorcycle before. They were super positive, instructed very well and gave me plenty of skills. I’d recommend this class to anyone.

Fantastic experience: I'll admit, I'm a bit of a lazy person and I don't share reviews enough, but I want everyone to know what a wonderful class this is. 6 out of 5 stars, I wish I could give more, because the coaches and staff alike go above and beyond to make sure you understand exactly what you're doing. I did not pass the first time, in fact, I fell off during the test! But after the next class, I feel so much more confident in my skills, and I'm more than excited to hone them in now that I have my endorsement. And the fact that you can come back a second and third and fourth, as MANY times as you want for NO EXTRA CHARGE! It's damn well worth the money. Dave, Betty, Brian, Tom and Savannah are all wonderful people to be among and I hope you get the chance to do so. If you wanna learn how to ride, this is the place to go. They will not give up on you. <3

Fantastic experience: Dave S is absolutely amazing very professional and extremely knowledgeable not to mention very very funny he is very good at helping you understand what you are doing wrong and how you can make it better he will even take the time to say hey I like how you are doing you are doing very well that helps when someone is new basically if you get Dave S you will be in great hands he will take care of you

Fantastic experience: Great instructors. Dave and Dominic were great and very good at relaying information in a way that can be understood no matter what you're riding experience level was. Simple instruction and demonstration of the exercises. Very informative course. I would highly recommend this school.

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend this place enough! The instructors were phenomenal. I was extremely nervous having absolutely no experience riding a motorcycle or driving anything manual. However within 2 days and bingeing the online class these guys were able to teach even me the basics of riding and most importantly drill the SAFE way of riding into my brain. I was so afraid I would not be able to learn and that I would not pass however the instructors believed in me and even when I dropped the bike and I wanted to give up they encouraged me through it. I was able to get endorsed solely thanks to my instructors Dave and Dominick!

Fantastic experience: Came into this with zero riding experience. Luckily, this place lets you take the course as many times within a year as possible. First time wasn't the best dynamic for me, as most of the other classmates that round already had experience and I was holding the rather large class back, but was encouraged to come back. Second time around it was a small class and Dominick was so patient and kind. Really has a knack for being encouraging and even allowed extra time and practice on the course. Would highly recommend for all these reasons!

Fantastic experience: David was phenomenal. I did a refresher course after a decade of not riding and am so glad that I did. David was very encouraging and communicative during the course, letting me know where I need to improve and what I'm doing well on. I will recommend this location and instructor to anyone in the area. Absolutely best choice I made before buying a bike again. Thank you so much, David!

Negative experience: The teacher was like a Poleon. Did not learn anything. Almost got me and my uncle killed went to a different school. Learned a lot better and passed the next day. He is up with the wrong bikes. Dave sucks.

Fantastic experience: Susan and James were great trainers at the Eustis location.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love Dave and his teaching style. He is very knowledgeable and also a Veteran, which is a bonus for me. Thanks, Dave.

Fantastic experience: Im very pleased with this company, especially the instructor. He has a lot of experience, was a good teacher and thought me things I didn't know. I would recommend this cource to friends and family.

Fantastic experience: I have been riding for years but just never had gotten the endorsement, so I took class to get it. Dave was very professional and extremely thorough in class on all aspect of what we would be doing. It was very affordable and extremely informative. If you need a endorsement this is definitely the place to go, you will be happy you did.

Fantastic experience: I’m 18 years old and was insanely nervous about taking this course … but after I got there and seen how chill everyone and the environment was , all was good , Dave was an amazing instructor. I definitely recommend this course to anyone who is looking to get there motorcycle license/endorsement , had a great time and will be back to say hi on my first bike !!!!!!!!!

Fantastic experience: Great experience! Course was fun instructor made it fun! Small group was able to instruct everybody as needed in the course from advanced riders to zero experience riders. 100% reccomend this course to any and all riders

Fantastic experience: I just passed my test today I'm disabled and they didn't look at me any different one of the best choices I ever made anyone looking to get their endorsement this is by far the best place!!!!!!!!

Fantastic experience: The instructor here will make sure you are ready for the road all you have to do is listen because he definitely will teach you!! Mr.Dave is the best!! So happy I choice to come here!!!

Fantastic experience: Great Professional Trainer...very top knoch...

Fantastic experience: The number one school in Florida. Great instructor I give him 10 stars and will recommend to anyone the best of the best.

Fantastic experience: TAKE THIS CLASS. DAVID IS AN AMAZING INSTRUCTOR. I took the class the weekend 12/2-12/4/2022 and I can not express how amazing this class was. As someone who had never been on a bike before I went into the class very nervous/anxious and left confident and knowledgeable. I never once was compared to another rider or singled out. Whenever I was coached David was very personable, comforting and broke down what went wrong and what to work on without making me feel discouraged or embarrassed (even when I dropped the bike) I never felt overwhelmed at all once I was on the bike and riding. David was patient and really made sure all the riders were comfortable before we moved onto the next course.

Fantastic experience: Dave was super awesome instructor. My fiance, his friend, and I all went recently and can't be any more greatful for choosing his class. He was patient with us and super nice. He definitely is a down-to-earth kind of guy. We plan to take more of his classes with him. And hopefully ride with him. We will see you again coach!! -Lillie O

Fantastic experience: Dave is a great coach, takes his time with all his students and gives everyone feedback on a per-person basis. Other reviewers have elaborated on that already, and anyone who says otherwise must be a total bonehead because we had one student who was having an EXTREMELY difficult time picking up basics, but Dave was very nice, patient, and helpful with him. One of the few courses that is mostly shaded in the morning/afternoon!!

Fantastic experience: Dave was wonderful. Coming from a sketchy riding background. I learned alot and by the end of class I'm so much more confident. Honestly I thought it was going to be just about the test . You won't be disappointed.

Fantastic experience: We took the course this past weekend. I have zero experience on a motorcycle, but instructor Dave went through the basics very thoroughly and thoughtfully. He stresses major safety points, and if you are looking to actually learn motorcycle safety then his course is the one. He totally lives up to the many 5 stars he has received on these reviews. Instructor Dave really wanted us to put safety at the forefront of our riding. After all, safety is the key premise so that you can keep on riding.

Fantastic experience: If you need to get your motorcycle endorsement no need to look any further. Florida Professional Motorcycle Training is the place to go. David Cruz is a professional with a passion in motorcycling and teaching. His instruction is top notch and his ability make you feel comfortable and confident is extraordinary. Whether you have experience or little to no experience his basic rider course will leave you with the skills to safely operate a motorcycle and a foundation to build upon. I appreciate his instruction and I am a better, safer rider because of it. If Dave ever decides to open more courses to expand on riding skills I would look forward to taking more classes with his instruction.

Fantastic experience: Let me say this I had no experience on a bike as soon as I went to this class I couldn't feel more comfortable and more better with the skills and the safety training that this man taught me it's one of the best classes I suggested to anyone who is looking to get the endorsements or their license please take this class it's the fastest comfortable is just great and trust me you will not be sorry

Fantastic experience: I’d highly recommend this school to get your endorsement.William and Dave are great instructors who truly care about your safety and development as a rider .The investment is well worth it as you will not only gain skill , your confidence level will raise as a new rider taking this course.So dont be scared just call william and dave , they got you covered

Fantastic experience: Dave is a great coach. Learned the basics to practice so as to become a better rider. Very relaxed and friendly atmosphere, made some new friends. Well worth the money for the knowledge and peace of mind..

Fantastic experience: Great place for starting and beginner riders. Would recommend for friendly and helpful teachers.

Fantastic experience: I hadn't ridden a motorcycle since high school (20 years ago). I had been telling my wife since we got to Florida that I wanted to take a class to get my endorsement and start riding again. Well, she surprised me with a certificate for David's course for my birthday last December. This weekend was the 2.2 day class that I signed up for. It worked best for my own schedule. I couldn't be any happier that my wife chose this riding school. David is a wealth of knowledge and does an EXCELLENT job of teaching you the proper techniques. I highly recommend that anyone wanting to get their endorsement in Florida (Pasco County area) look into his school. Look at his reviews as well 5☆

Fantastic experience: After a horrid experience at a Harley place in Clearwater, my Queen and I approached this course with anxiety and trepidation. We want to ride scooters anyway, as motorcycles aren't our jam. We didn't realize anywhere let one learn on a scooter. This guy does. So, evening one an old man with ASD, and his Queen show up to start the classroom portion. The owner/instructor is the nicest, most personable chap. He takes the information seriously, but he also makes it understandable. The riding portion is also understandable as much as possible. In a world where teachers continually made me feel less than, where adults and others told me I'd never learn to drive or do many other things, this instructor took the time to guide each rider. The result is that my Queen passed and I will redo the riding part in January. This bears explanation. On day 1 of riding, a rear brake line on a scooter snapped. This happens. The bikes are well maintained but fate is fickle. Because of this my Queen and I alternated on one scooter the rest of the day. The second day we were asked if one of us could take the riding part again in January. This was both for safety and to insure we received 100% effect of the course. That how important safety is to this instructor. I am still anxious about passing the riding portion. I'm an old man with ASD who takes longer than others to get certain concepts. If anyone can guide me through, it is this instructor.

Fantastic experience: Best decision I made when it came to getting my endorsement. An amazingly patient and knowledgeable coach. Glad I came here!

Fantastic experience: Dave was great. Would recommend to anyone who has the need.

Fantastic experience: Oldest in my class. Learned alot. Glad I called Dave. David was the trainer for my class & very helpful, professional. Glad I took the class with them.

Fantastic experience: I was so nervous about having to get my motorcycle license. Honestly, this was the best experience ever. Dave is a great instructor. He was very patient and understanding. I learned so much in the class and the training was phenomenal. He really wanted to see you succeed.

Fantastic experience: Excellent instructor, They don't just push you through, but truly want you to learn to be a safe rider

Fantastic experience: Dave is very knowledgeable and professional . He makes it easy to understand the written test along with Detailed and hands on instruction on the track and when administering the test. You won't find a better course or instructor in the area. Both myself and my son enjoyed the class. Dave was able to show me things I've done wrong in riding for almost 50 years

Fantastic experience: Amazing school with a great instructor. I recommend this school to everyone. The staff is very professional, patient, and respectful with all the students. Overall a great place to get your motorcycle endorsement.

Fantastic experience: Came in at middle of a class and Dave was so professional and told me no rush cause of my work schedule. I cannot wait till I start his class.

Fantastic experience: I just passed the road test after taking this course. I cannot explain how helpful and patient the instructor for this class is. I knew basically nothing going in and was highly worried, however he handles everything so professionally. He covers literally everything you should know before getting on the road and helps build your confidence immensely. Take his class!! You won’t regret it!!!

Fantastic experience: Excellent experience for training to get your motorcycle license! Great teacher !

Fantastic experience: Dave is absolutely outstanding! I had little knowledge of motorcycle operation but he had me leave feeling super super confident in riding on the road. He really cares about his students! He wants to make sure that you’re ready and he’ll take his time and ALL the time needed to make you feel like you mastered the skill. He explains everything super well! His personality is awesome as well! I’d travel 2 hours to go take his course! Highly Highly Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: The best teacher I’ve ever had

Fantastic experience: I enjoy the class very much was a very intuitive class and the instructor was awesome I would recommend this place to anybody looking to learn how to ride a motorcycle and get there endorsement

Fantastic experience: The instructor, David, was knowledgeable, skilled, a great teacher, and made the class fun. Lots of quality time on the bikes, which were in good condition. I highly recommend to any new riders, and, as an experienced rider who needed to get a FL endorsement, it was a great refresher and I learned some new things as well. Great value, I easily recommend to anyone looking at Basic Rider Courses for FL license endorsement or anyone who just wants to be safer on the road. I will be looking into the Advanced Rider Course with David.

Fantastic experience: David P. Cruz is the man! I recommend anyone who is looking to ride take his class! David is very knowledgeable and professional

Fantastic experience: My boyfriend and I took this class and had an amazing experience. Dave is a fantastic teacher-would recommend to anybody looking to ride a motorcycle.

Fantastic experience: Fun place to get your motorcycle endorsement. Great instructor.

Fantastic experience: Good quality teaching. Hands on training.

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend!, Very nice guy, is patient but thorough, Personal yet professional. Also has great personality . you will not regret it i promise. Join up for class now and give yourself the (peace of mind) knowing you will have an endorsement and can ride legally. STAY SAFE EVERYONE

Fantastic experience: Such a great time. My daughter and I both earned our motorcycle enforcements from this school. The instructor made it fun, informative and very professional. Thank you, Michael

Fantastic experience: I had good experience here, Dave is great teacher!

Fantastic experience: Dave is awesome , he goes through the course with everyone and makes sure they are comfortable to continue, nice small classes so alot of one on one direction.

Fantastic experience: This was a enjoyable experience knowledgeable, and professional. I scored a perfect score on my road test and i haven't rode a road bike before 110% recommend to everyone

Fantastic experience: I went in with little to no experience. The teacher was nice and knowledgeable and detailed in his instructions. I am 100 % confident to hit the streets now thanks to this training program. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Was an amazing teacher and showed you everything step by step. He genuinely cares if you leave his class and are safe. If you want to get your license or do a refresher course or even the advanced course DEFINITELY come here!

Fantastic experience: I took Dave's course in October 2019. Became instant friends and even started helping out on the range. Everyone should take his course. He's extremely knowledgeable with several years experience. Great communication skills, Friendly, trustworthy, and makes every class relaxing, and fun. Even if you've been a rider for years. I can guarantee you will leave with more knowledge and experience than you previously had.

Fantastic experience: I had no riding experience coming into this class. The instructor was amazing!! Highly recommend!!

Fantastic experience: The reviews speak for themselves, for those of you that had a bad experience... I have a hard time understanding how? The training was great, I’ve had minor experience (I am from a different state with different rules,) but what I learned from the course was safety. I always pay attention and make myself “noticed” on the road, to ensure people see me. You learn to reduce your risk and decrease the chance you become a statistic. Listen to David, he knows what he’s talking about. It was hard for me to let go, look up, turn my head and let my body take over without looking down at my controls or into my turn. He watches your eyes and makes sure you are looking through and your head is up, once you get that down, your turns become great! You’ll be thoroughly impressed with yourself if you listen to him. David, the teacher/coach, is a great guy and very easy going. You’ll make mistakes. But don’t let those mistakes get to your head. Let go, reset and clear your mind after every exercise. Good luck to all of you future riders.

Fantastic experience: Great instructor and helper on the bike course training. I would definitely recommend! I have been riding motorcycles since a teenager and actually learned things that I now practice!

Fantastic experience: Nothing but the best when it comes to Dave! He is very professional, thorough and systematic. He CARES about teaching you the RIGHT and SAFE way when driving a motorcycle. Never makes you feel bad about doing something wrong when learning( corrects and shows you when needed but says it’s okay you’ll get it!) Always puts scenarios into perspective with real life so that you understand the importance! His main GOAL and FOCUS is to make you a safe and successful motorcyclist while enjoy riding. Thank you Dave for giving me the tools and knowledge in learning how to ride a motorcycle, a long time dream accomplished!

Fantastic experience: Go here. Do not go to another place. The class was awesome, very personal, detailed, highly professional and superior to other training schools. The instructor treats you just as if you were his own family. His former students respect and like him So much that they will literally stop by on their motorcycles just to hang out and support the class as they watch him do the training. That says a lot. Thanks again!

Fantastic experience: I just finished class this weekend and i have to say Dave has made it fun. I had a bad experience with another place that i was not happy with and very scared to even try it again. Dave has given me the knowledge and experience that has given me the willing to get my bike on the road. I couldnt be more happier. Thanks Dave

Fantastic experience: I came into this course with minimal experience and a lot of questions. David has a way of explaining and demonstrating the exercises that put me at ease. In no time at all, I was cruising and having a great time! Very nice and highly knowledgeable. If you don’t know something, ask and he will help you. 199$ and worth every penny. I plan on going back for the advanced course after I get to know my new bike better!

Fantastic experience: He is very good at his job and made me a better rider then i was before, he will always answers your questions and tries to help you out with any problems your having with your bike

Fantastic experience: Great experience, instructor was extremely knowledgeable and patient. I would recommend this school to anyone wanting to learn to ride.

Fantastic experience: Great instructor. Easy to follow. Patient and he cares. Very great experience. I highly recommend him.

Fantastic experience: Excellent course, great instructor, and very informative. I definitely feel I am better equipped having completed this course and would highly recommend it to anyone no matter the experience level.

Negative experience: Only called to ask about motorcycle course. When telling him I'm going to call around and see what else is available I was given attitude and was told every other class is junk compared to his and that I should look at his reviews and just come there. I will not be coming their after that display, it was very unprofessional and a bit childish.

Fantastic experience: If you are thinking about getting a motorcycle, take this driving course first. The instructor Dave taught 8 of us from the basic controls to maneuvers and safety. He assigned a bike to each of us so we would become very familiar with it and that increased our confidence handling our bikes. I had limited knowledge on how to ride and I walked away with a better understanding on how to safely control starting, stopping and everything in between. I recommend this course to anyone regardless of their skill level.

Fantastic experience: Best motorcycle course you can take. Very informative, takes his time and if you are a visual person he may also show you what to do by going through each section of the course himself.

Fantastic experience: I recommend 100%!

Fantastic experience: Best experience of my life, Super Help full, Explains everything clearly and demonstrates what to do before you do it! I will recommend this class as the Best Place to get your motorcycle training!

Fantastic experience: I recently finished Dave's class. His small class size keeps the training on a personal level. Even though I have ridden for years I realized how much I didn't know. Don't look any further than this class, even if your driving from Pinellas County as I did. 5 stars plus.

Fantastic experience: David is an absolute blast as an instructor. I took his class from half day on Friday to Sunday and had so much fun while still being professional and productive in learning. David answers any one of my questions about riding and more. He does exercises with you to explain the importance of safe riding and following speed limits, and other traffic laws. I passed my test first try as a new rider using the skills and knowledge taught to me by David. I highly recommend anyone looking to take their endorsement class to come here. 10/10 thank you so much David!

Fantastic experience: Florida Professional Motorcycle Training, Inc. Safety is #1. They have good teaching ethics and will help you ride.I actually was scared to ride a motorcycle. Instructors David is fantastic. He is with you every step of the way and provide feedback to help with your weak spots. That shows right off the bat he want his students to learn. He is very friendly, and if you are doing something incorrectly, he will tell you. How can you excel at something if you are doing it wrong. This has been my first riding course and I highly encourage attending their program if you want to be taught how to ride a bike right. I drove down from Riverview to take the class this weekend it was well worth the drive. Thanks David.

Fantastic experience: Had a fantastic time! David is super friendly and professional -- doesn't make the course stressful at all. He made sure every student was confident in their abilities when going between each exercise. He takes his time and carefully make sure each student is following on without calling them out. He is the best instructor in my opinion in all of Hernando and Pasco county. I'd highly recommend that you go to him for your Motorcycle course. He is cheaper than the competition around the area! 5 stars for sure, thank you very much David.

Fantastic experience: Great place to get your endorsment Dave truley cares about you and your safty.Takes the time to train you properly

Fantastic experience: The Best hands down, Dave makes sure all are comfortable with the skill before going on to next, and his small class size accommodates this type of training.

Fantastic experience: David is extremely personable, professional, and friendly! By the end of the class everyone, no matter their riding skill or experience, was able to pass with flying colors. He said it himself, he's a coach, not an instructor, and a coach should want to have a winning team. If I had to take the course again, this is the place I'd do it.

Fantastic experience: I walked in with barely any knowledge about motorcycles, and left a couple days later with full confidence! Dave's instruction and interactive learning style are extremely thorough. I can't say enough to tell you the this is the best course for obtaining your endorsement, but I highly recommend you give Dave a call before going anywhere else

Fantastic experience: 10/10 David is a great guy, I loved his course as well.

Fantastic experience: I had 0 riding experience & 0 riding ability going into Dave’s class & 3 days later with the skills the rider coaches Dave & Steve taught me I acquired my endorsement but most of all I acquired the skill & confidence to be safe on the road. Dave is a great guy & teacher with a wealth of motorcycle knowledge. Dave & Steve make the class fun & informative at the same time. If you make mistakes they correct you & encourage you but they don’t make you uncomfortable or to feel uneasy. I could go on about how great this school is however I’m going to end by saying...... this is a GREAT school & great place to learn to ride or get more knowledge if you already have experience.

Fantastic experience: Best place to get your endorsement especially if you are a new rider with no experience. Dave is great!

Fantastic experience: I searched for a month and so grateful I found Florida Professional Motorcycle Training. Dave is a wonderful instructor. He's very knowledgeable, patient, entertaining, and professional. He truly cares about his vocation and it shows. Worth every penny and we highly recommend Florida Professional Motorcycle Training. Thank you Dave! Clarissa and Arledi

Fantastic experience: GREAT LEARNING ENVIRONMENT FOR A FIRST TIME RIDER!!! Dave was amazing !! Thank you for giving me the tools to help me earn my endorsement!!! SOOOOOO EXCITED TO RIDE

Fantastic experience: No experience when I started, but NOW with the coaching from Dave, & being able to absorb some knowledge from him, I have too say I have complete confidence in myself. AWESOME & FUN EXPERIENCE. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I have previous experience from dirt bikes to motorcycles over many years of sporadic riding. I knew that before I purchase & ride my own personal bike, I needed to go through the training course and get my endorsement. I never thought I would learn so much fundamental knowledge for proper riding. Though some prior experience assisted me during training, the lessons David Cruz teaches will make a world of difference on how you view riding before vs after the class. If you are considering the course, make it a "no brainer". David's the best in town (from numerous locals as well) and teaches you how to learn effectively and have fun doing it!

Fantastic experience: This guy is legit. I'm 46 an started riding dirt bikes at 12 years old an I thought I knew how to ride, I was wrong. It's amazing how much I learned in such a short time an how fun it was. I want to thank Mr. Dave Cruz for the lesson an I totally recommend him for anyone looking to get their motorcycle endorsement. Thanks again Dave. See ya soon.

Fantastic experience: David is a very nice man, he can teach even the most experienced riders a thing or two, he made the course super easy and super friendly in a non-threatening environment. Worth every penny in the long run, he will show you tips that aren't even in the handbook that can save your life one day, he is the best around!

Fantastic experience: Great class and instructor. Dave knows what it takes to be a good and safe rider.

Fantastic experience: Excellent class makes it easy to learn and takes the time to teach you what you need to know and explains things very well if you don't understand

Fantastic experience: Dave is a great teacher! Taught me a lot of things I didn't know, and has a great attitude. You can tell he's passionate about motorcycles and safety. This is exactly what a riders course should be! 10/10

Fantastic experience: This is a great place to get your endorsement. Low stress, but you'll get the skills you need to ride on the road.

Fantastic experience: At 51 I just bought my first bike. Although I had some riding experience, I am glad i had to take the class. Dave is a patient teacher who lets you know what you're doing wrong but also is happy when you correct your mistakes . I live in Holiday less than 2 miles from another motorcycle school but decided to take Dave's class and glad I went a little out of my way because he does a great job. Thanks Dave !!

Fantastic experience: David Cruz is very experienced, knowledgeable and helpful. The class truly was professional and I was very happy with David's coaching style. I would highly recommend his services.

Fantastic experience: Guys listen dave gives such a general simple to follow instructions it's hard to fail. The class is great dave is great and I promise you will learn something new.

Fantastic experience: Very professional, genuine concern for your safety. Coach Cruz is the owner and main instructor. Hard press to do any better.

Fantastic experience: My partner and I took Dave's course...I had not ridden for 30 years my wife never. We both passed and have had a wonderful safe years driving thanks to the awesome training we received here....highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: The instructor, Dave, genuinely cares about you learning the techniques taught in the class and clearly doesn't just care about the money. He is the best instructor anywhere around New Port Richey and I recommend him to anyone I know who even consider getting their endorsement.

Fantastic experience: Dave is great. My wife and I both were never evers and I feel very comfortable (still needing practice of course) and my wife needed some extra attention and Dave definitely went out of his way to make her confident and comfortable. There are lots of Motorcycle endorsement classes available but you will do yourself a disservice if you take anywhere else. Dave is the best, hands down. I will be taking the advanced riders course with him as soon as I have accumulated the miles I need.
