Private Lessons
Private lessons are available by the hour.
Up to 4 riders can participate in a lesson at no additional charge.
A lesson can include learning and practicing motorcycle riding skills as well as classroom instruction to prepare for knowledge testing.
Lesson curriculum is a collaborative decision made by the rider and the coach.
Use of a 2 wheel training motorcycle is included with a lesson. 3 wheel riders are required to bring their own rig or make accommodations to use one of our 3 wheel rigs with advanced notice (Our rigs are ONLY available in Anacortes).

Private Lesson Cancellation, Reschedule, and Refund Policies
- Private Lessons are non-refundable. Reschedule requests must be made NO LESS than 48 hours prior to your Private Lesson. If you need to reschedule a Private Lesson please contact us via email (info@cascademotosafety.com).
Failure to contact us 48 hours before your Private Lesson will forfeit any funds paid.
Cascade Motorcycle Safety reserves the right to cancel or postpone a Private Lesson due to circumstances beyond our control. In the case of a Private Lesson cancellation, your lesson coach will contact you for rescheduling. - Extraordinary circumstances or government order may result in immediate changes to our policies. In such cases we will make individual determinations at our discretion. While our staff will do as much as possible to help you learn to ride safely, we cannot guarantee that you will complete a Private Lesson or pass any Motorcycle Tests. Motorcycling is an outdoor activity and you are responsible to ensure that you have appropriate riding gear to ensure your comfort and safety. No refunds or rescheduling will be given to students who are unable to complete a Private Lesson or Motorcycle Test due to not being prepared for the weather.
- Cascade Motorcycle Safety policies are subject to change without advance notice. Changes are in effect as soon as they are posted on our website.
