"I completed the basic safety course this past weekend with Thomas and Erin. Great instructors - patient and really helpful! It was my first time riding a motorcycle so I was pretty intimidated at first but much more confident and comfortable by the end of day 2. Huge thanks to the instructors for their time, patience, and dedication. Highly recommend!"

"Pacific Motorcycle Training will provide the basic tools needed, preparing new riders to get out there and mix it up safely with the four-wheeled masses. The numerous instructors are very knowledgeable and give an appropriate dose of confidence to new riders, while offering valuable reminders and safety tips to the more seasoned rider. They also offer more advanced riding classes. Totally worth the time, money, and your life"

"I had a great time! Great instructors, very knowledgeable and gave good feedback. Generally patient people, but can be stern when they need to, as motorcycling is a very dangerous sport. Ending up passing the test at the end of my beginner lesson with 0 points taken off. Great school!"

"The introductory motorcycle course was great! Stephen the instructor was professional, friendly, and a great teacher. He gave excellent feedback as we practiced and made sure to identify and correct problems. The class taught so many necessary skills and aside from that, it was fun! Even though the second day on the range it rained, we still pushed through and completed the lessons. I highly recommend the course to anyone looking to begin riding..."

"Excellent course and the instructors were on top of it. Awesome instruction from Q, Dillon, and Caruso! Safety was priority 1 with no exceptions. Course material was well handled, and there was lots of bike time to practice and get comfortable with what they taught. Recommend for any rider, with or without a permit!"
