Yes for starters, Look up ccriders and doesn't seem like they offer classes, just saw a motorcycle club

+1!!! they'll teach you some new tricks and teach you to get rid of bad riding habits. plus if you pass their course you don't have to take the practical test from DMV.

check this site up and try to find a location near your home to do the course. this is the one that when you pass just bring the certificate to dmv and you get your license and they'll waive the pratical test. you'll learn lots of street survival knowledge.

Ya they dumb the course down so a person with no experience can/will learn alot. But anyone with actual riding experience will find parts of the class kinda boring. Its good knowledge and reinforcement of the current knowledge u do have.
