Come Share Our Passion for Motorcycling

We strive to have a positive learning, training, and working environment for all clients and employees. We believe that everyone deserves to be treated with respect and integrity and have the opportunity to learn a new skill.
Our Mission
Our primary goal is to improve, facilitate, and provide continuous learning for all levels of riders in a safe and controlled environment. We’ve trained more than 10,000 motorcyclists in the Casa Grande, Marana, Tucson, and Sierra Vista communities.
The Ride Arizona MTC Team
Trina Meeks
Owner
I took my very first motorcycle safety course in 1995, and I have not left the range. I became involved teaching others to ride because I, myself , almost failed the class when I first tried. My compassion for others, and complete understanding of what it means to someone to learn how to ride, helps me to work with students who didn’t think that they would really be able to ride—ride!
Steve Meeks
Manager
My name is Steve. I am part owner and rider coach for Ride Arizona MTC. We have been offering classes now for 15 years and have loved every minute of it. Every now and then you find something that defines you as an individual. Conducting motorcycle training classes is who I am. That is my defining role. With all I have done in my life, what I do now exceeds everything else.
The joy of watching the student put their feet up on the pegs for the very first time and ride that motorcycle, knowing that they can ride, is the reason I love doing this. The pleasure of meeting new people with the same goals as us at Ride Arizona is the proverbial icing on the cake.
I currently ride a 2019 Indian Springfield Darkhorse and a 2020 Suzuki V-Strom dual purpose.
Harry Ines
Rider Coach
I have 11 years of riding experience, mostly on naked and adventure bikes. Currently, I have a Kawasaki Ninja zx6r. Being a Rider Coach isn’t just a job for me – it’s a calling. There’s nothing quite like witnessing the spark of excitement in a new rider’s eyes as they conquer their first miles. But more than just teaching the basics, my mission is to instill a deep appreciation for safety and responsibility on the road.
John Griffin
Rider Coach
My name is john; I currently ride a 2016 Harley Davidson Fatbob. I’ve always been a cruiser guy, but I enjoy pretty much anything with two wheels and a motor.
I’ve been with Ride Arizona since 2022, after I took a BRC course and had so much fun I decided to get certified and teach. I’ve always had a passion for motorcycles and teaching is away for me to share that passion.
Ben Lisak
Rider Coach
I became interested in motorcycles as a child and have since made riding a primary aspect of my life. I took the MSF course as a student multiple times, accompanying friends of mine who were also interested in riding, and my coaches suggested to me that mentorship was worth pursuing. I have been a Rider Coach ever since and I have also developed a career as a safety gear specialist. I ride nearly every day; hot, cold, rain or shine, and look forward to sharing my knowledge with everyone who is interested.
