I did the 3 hour starter package with Karin and it was the best decision I've ever made. This 1:1 starter was done on my big, heavy 650cc bike with forward controls that I had ZERO experience on... because im stupid.
I'd never so much as rolled this bike down the driveway. By the end of the course we had three different loops around my street to practice with, I was pulling off without stalling more often than not, I was parking well and also gained enough confidence to get my bike to a parking lot on my own to practice slow speed maneuvers and start/stops in my own time because these scare the heck out of me. I dropped the bike twice on our journey when I panicked and Karin helped me get it back up and even showed me how to do it myself so I could be the hero of my own story if it happened when I was alone. Karin was patient, calm, and never once made me feel bad for the many times I pulled over to take a breath because I got a fright or felt rattled. Im hella scared but I'm also determined. I hope to look back one day and see how far I've come, with this starter package being the catalyst that got me taking that first step in my motorcycle journey.
