TRAINED BY SOMEONE
WHO LIVES IT
KYLE COWGER
FOUNDER & LEAD INSTRUCTOR
Kyle has been riding since 2000, dirt bikes as a kid, street bikes through college (he sold the car, kept the bike), and everything in between. He's set four land speed records and completed an Iron Butt Ride.
He's not just a rider. He's a teacher. And he brings that same passion to every student he works with.

REAL RIDERS.
REAL RESULTS.
★★★★★
"I hadn't ridden a motorcycle since I was a kid, so I went into this class pretty nervous, but it
ended up being a really great experience. The instructors were patient, encouraging, and
did a great job breaking everything down in a way that made it easy to understand. By the
end of the class, I felt way more confident and actually excited to ride again."

★★★★★
"This has been the best experience as a brand new rider I have ever had. I have never
used manual on anything before and have only been a passenger on a bike. My instructor
was patient and gave me great feedback on how to improve. I was able to take the course
at my own speed. 10/10 best place!"

★★★★★
"Kyle was a phenomenal instructor. His 2-day rider course was excellent — very patient and
kind, with great constructive feedback throughout. Anyone who wants to start from the
beginning, or develop their existing skills; 10/10 recommend Kyle and Two Trails Moto!"

★★★★★
"Kyle is a great instructor, super laid back and calm, gave valuable tips and pointed us in
the right direction when we needed it. He's super personable and gives real life stories and
scenarios. Would recommend him to anyone no matter the skill level."

Questions
BEFORE YOU BOOK
List of Services
-
Do I need any riding experience?List Item 1
None at all. The Basic Rider Course is built for first-time riders. Most students have never ridden before, and many have never used a manual clutch. We start at the very beginning.
-
Do I need my own motorcycle?List Item 2
No. We provide the motorcycle for the entire course. Just show up with your gear.
-
Do I really skip the DMV road test?List Item 3
Yes. Completing the course satisfies Virginia's skills-test requirement for the M2 license, so there's no separate road test at the DMV.
-
What should I wear and bring?List Item 4
Long pants, a long-sleeve shirt or jacket, over-the-ankle boots, full-finger gloves, sunglasses, and water. If you have a DOT-approved helmet, bring it. Otherwise, let us know when you book.
-
What if it rains?
Courses generally run rain or shine, since riding in light weather is part of learning. If conditions become unsafe, we'll contact you about rescheduling.
-
How much does it cost?
$369 for the full 2-day course: motorcycle, MSF curriculum, certified instruction, small-class coaching, and the DMV road-test waiver all included.
