Idaho STAR Program

Negative experience: Can't rate zero stars, unfortunately. After paying the money, completing the online course, waiting a month, and completing the entire first day, I was turned away for being late on the second day due to my alarm not going off. Technically I was an hour early, but spring forward happened on this day. Lucky me. I understand it's somewhat my bad, but I breezed through the first day, and no doubt could have joined the group with ease. Hopefully reason can change this policy for people who already ride, because losing money on shit like this doesn't need to happen. Also, the head instructor could use an attitude check. The guy was making more than a few riders frustrated at the little mistakes they were making. There was a younger instructor doing a much better job, simply because he was teaching, rather than shaming and teaching.

Fantastic experience: Great training

Fantastic experience: Purl, Brian, Wayne and Mark were amazing. Both class instruction and the range coaching were top notch!

Fantastic experience: I am SO glad I took the STARS course! My instructors were absolutely amazing, and if I had taken the course 20 years ago, I wouldn't have almost had to have my arm amputated following a terrible motorcycle accident I suffered because I thought I knew what I was doing (I know how to ride a dirtbike! That must mean I know how to ride on the street!.....NOT!) Flash forward 20 years when I wanted to get back in the saddle, I decided to enroll in STARS. Like I said, my instructors were so knowledgeable, patient, and encouraging. Most of all, the knowledge and information they taught me were simply CRITICAL in being able to operate a motorcycle safely. If you already know how to operate a motorcycle but want to learn how to ride on the street, sign up for the Basic II course. Much respect to these fine folks, their instruction is undoubtedly sparing people from injury, suffering, and death. These guys ROCK!

Fantastic experience: I took the intermediate course. The first part was a zoom session. This was followed by the field experience at Skyview High School. I was so impressed with the level of professionalism and preparedness of the classroom instructor and the field instructors. I learned a lot of things that I thought I already knew. I found out how much I didn’t know. I am much more prepared to continue my riding. My class was on 4/2 and 4/6. Even if you have been riding for sometime, I highly recommend participating in an Idaho STAR motorcycle class.
