The KickSTART Motorcycle Training Series offers personalized Rider Training for you.  AMDS is a NYS approved Driving School and established course since 1986.  We customize your day to meet your needs, concerns, experience and fear level.  Your lesson is one-on-one with a NY DMV Certified Motorcycle Instructor.  You may work on one of our many light-weight training motorcycles or learn on your own.  Private lesson Package (PLP); Is also an excellent opportunity for someone to learn how to ride a motorcycle that is unable to dedicate an entire weekend for the Basic Rider Course. This package offers a relaxing way to receive personal attention and to learn at your own pace. PLP can also be a wonderful alternative for people who are uncomfortable in a group setting or simply prefer individual attention.

2 hour Intermediate course
This is often used by individuals who have attended the Motorcycle Safety Foundation & NYS Motorcycle class, called the Basic Rider Course, but did not fulfill the requirements to receive their Road Test waiver. That individual may choose to enroll in a private lesson before they return for their second attempt at the Skill Evaluation. Also many new riders elect to have a private lesson on their own motorcycle after successfully completing the course. Some like to use their 2 hours to enjoy a street ride with their instructors. Others may choose to take a NY State Road Test Prep course and/or use our Escort Service to the Road Test. With the Escort Service, we provide a small Motorcycle to use on the test and a NYS motorcycle licensed driver to go with you. Schedule Now >
