This group is outstanding all around. It's a family business, so that's worth supporting alone, but they got everything else right too. The rental gear is cheap and excellent, clean and is plenty new. (The helmets looked brand new and didn't smell like dudes). The bikes were great. There were four of us and everything was all set when we pulled up. Nice. Professional. Helpful. If you have never been, it's a great spot.
Thanks for a great day GMR!

Spent the weekend out here 2 weeks ago with my friends. 4 of us were newbie riders. The younger guy, Johnny, had impeccable customer service skills and I would highly recommend his capabilities. He was never judgmental and was extremely patient with everyone that was riding. He also would go quickly to help people when they were in a bad situation. Dude has top notch ability. He's an incredible asset to this business and I hope they treat him well. The rentals were straightforward. All gear included. Bikes were in good shape and taken care of. They seem to take some abuse by new riders yet are in good condition for everyone that rents them.

These place is excellent! We rented a Honda 250EX quad for my dad for a day....we got there late and John the owner, accommodated us perfectly and adjusted to our schedule...Really nice guy, friendly and helpful....They're very conveniently located behind the Chevron off the Gorman exit and the whole experience is as turn key as it gets....Show up, fill out a few simple forms, and then you head to the riding area....and they either bring you the bikes or the bikes are already on site. The bikes are in great shape, gear is provided, bikes are gassed up and ready...all you gotta do is show up and ride.....I'll definitely recommend to my friends and rent from Gorman Motorsport again....Great experience, great prices, turn-key, and family-owned and operated....A great way to spend time with friends and family while enjoying the outdoors..

Crazy good time! We rented 3 bikes mid-week for myself and two 17 year old boys. John hooked us up with Honda dirt bikes, helmets, chest protectors, gloves, elbow and knee pads and boots. He delivered the bikes to Hungry Valley and showed us how to start and restart them, and went over the trail maps in detail. This was our first time to Gorman and were not used to the vastness of the riding area. There are tons of trails, hill climbs, sand, and some pretty technical terrain. Before our first break, we rode about 12 miles one way on various trails. We pretty much had the place to ourselves so I suggest mid-week if you can do it.
One warning - beware what is on the other side of a hill climb. Three of us climbed a hill to find a steep downhill immediately on the other side. One of the kids freaked out and hit his front brake hard, causing him to exit the bike, which did an endo and landed on him. Thanks to the excellent safety gear and the durable Honda bikes, no harm came to either. Based on John's pre-ride instructions, I was able to de-flood the carb and get the bike running again without any problem.
Another warning - stay on the well-worn trails. There are unexpected "surprises" lurking in the scrub - from wild animals to ancient stumps to hidden washouts that can swallow a bike.
At the end of main trail that bisects the park there are ATV and motocross practice tracks.
We had a blast and highly recommend Gorman Motorsport Rentals. John will hook you up right.

What an amazingly fun and easy experience! My husband and I have been there twice and expect to make a return trip soon. This is a mom and pop shop that makes you feel great about supporting a local business. The bikes were in great condition, the 19k acre park had a wide range of levels of difficulty. We rode for 4 hours straight and never went on the same trail. Take your friends, take your family. Its such a great way to get out of the city and get your adrenaline on!

I searched for a rental company like this early in 2012 when my 11 year old son learned how to ride. Too bad Gorman Motorsports didn't exist then. I bought a CRF 100 and started renting a Uhaul since I have no desire to own a truck. Since my son found out about Gorman Motorsports because his older brother and I wanted to go riding as well, his bike has sat in the garage. It is so much easier to just drive my car to Hungry Valley and rent the bikes from Jon and it comes out to about the same price after paying mileage for the Uhaul. I raced dirtbikes growing up in Michigan and I know when bikes are maintained properly. We have rented bikes from Jon several times this year and they are always well maintained. Customer service is great!! Will be going back soon.

totallllllly awesome. this was the first time riding for me and a buddy of mine. Jon was extremely helpful and funny to deal with. they delivered the bikes to our campsite and were cool enough to wait around so i could get used to the bike. we rented pretty basic bikes that were still more than enough for our skill level. I'd highly recommend to anyone who's considering getting into it to rent a bike here first to see what you think. will return.

A group if us, novice to experienced riders, used Gorman Motor Sports and it was AMAZING! We literally showed up, paid, were fitted with our gear by the owner's awesome family, drove to the park, met one of the owners Jon and were on our bikes in no time. When we were done, we gave back our gear and bikes and hit the road. You could not ask for an easier, more cost effective way to participate in the sport we love, than by using this company. Great job!

My wife surprised me for my bday and reserved bikes and gear for me and 3 buddies. None of us had ever ridden before. John the owner is the nicest guy. He taught us how to ride then hung out for a while to make sure we had the hang of it. The bikes were is perfect condition and the gear was rock solid. It was so easy and crazy fun! Thanks Gorman Motorsports. I CAN'T WAIT TO COME BACK!!
