Texas Motorcycly Training Plano, Texas Rider Coach Jim Slaughter is like Sgt Slaugther...yelling, screaming, and shows no patience when teaching Plano Texas
I took Jim Slaughter's beginner's class on Nov11 2014. I am a complete newbie that's never ridden a motorcycle before. I know how to ride a bike and how to drive a automatic transmission car, but I have no idea on clutch or gear shifting. I was asked to leave midway thru first day on Nov11, we had just completed class session 1 and was on lesson 2 of lesson 15 of the hands-on motorcycle riding session. Like I said before ...I am a complete newbie...I am there to learn and be safe on the road for my sake and others around me moving or not moving. I am not there to goof around or waste time like a teenager. I couldn't follow or was slow to follow his instruction after 3 tries so he ask me to leave an not come back. For some, such as me asked a lot of questions and might be slower than others but that's why I am there TO LEARN..he does run a teaching school right? He didn't show any patience or any proper teaching skills...he just yell and tries to intimidate you...."my way or the highway" he shouted...he brags about how many students he had kicked out before so we better not pull any stuff on him....once again...He also shouted at me "you gonna learn my way not your way", I don't have a way..if I did (have my way) I wouldn't be there to learn...doesn't he understand we have no knowledge/experience and that's why we took his class???
I paid $190 to learn and to be safe for myself and others on the road...why would I not like to learn how to properly ride a motorcycle safely. I asked for a refund and he said I failed the class...how do I failed something that I didn't even learned yet or even took any test...a person can do something unsuccessfully while learning...and that's a part of the learning process, isn't it? if you don't have the patience and the compassion to teach everyone (fast learning, slower learner, experienced, total newbie, young or old) then you shouldn't be teaching. I am not the only person that has ever complaint about Jim's way of teaching....just search Texas Motorcycle Training and you will see similar complaints.
The classroom facility is a broken down trailer in the middle of Collin Creek Mall parking lot, no restroom (gotta go into the mall for restroom). Inside is stuffy and crammed, the day we had class, it was windy, felt like the trailer was gonna flipped. The motorcycles we were on, were old, couple of them didn't even start properly, he had to tinker with it on the spot for a few minutes go get it started.
I should've of know better and do some research before choosing him...I just went for the cheapest price I could find…unfortunately, the cheapest in this case is also the worst learning experience I ever had.
