Complaint Review: Texas Motorcycle Training

I took a basic motorcycle riding class in April with Texas Motorcycle Training and will never recommend them to anyone. Jim Slaughter, the owner, is very disrespectful and doesn't have any consideration for a person who is learning. Riding a motorcycle for the first time is scary and yelling doesn't help. I dropped the motorcycle and he yelled at me in front of the entire class and indicated that if I dropped the motorcycle again I would be kicked out of the class. I have seen experienced riders dropping their motorcycle and don't understand how he expects beginners to be perfect.

Their motorcycles are in very bad shape - the first day I had a motorcycle that wouldn't go into neutral and another motorcycle broke down and one of the other students was put on a scooter.

My friend was kicked out of the class after 30 minutes of practice because "she was a danger to herself" - she wasn't given the opportunity to even try. They didn't tell us when we registered that we needed to know how to ride a motorcycle before signing up for the beginners class.

The quality of the instruction was awful, the facilities bad, no bathrooms anywhere.
