"A highly recommended, informative and thorough, course that covers all the basics, taught by extremely professional instructors and should be mandatory for any beginning rider. In attendance were riders of all levels of experience ranging from those who had never been on a bike to those who had ridden for years, but wanted to get back to the essentials. Also very fun, and it includes the driven test so you don’t have to take that part at the DMV once you’ve graduated."

"Fantastic program, facility, bikes and instructors. My 18 year old and I both took the 2 day beginner program; she's never riden a motorcycle but I have. The instructors were knowledgeable, patient and encouraging. Everyone in the group was supportive and just great people all around. Highly recommend!"

"I came in here with 0 riding skills and signed up for the basic level course. With our small group of students, the instructor Zach payed careful attention to each students skill level and making sure we all performed to the best of our ability by explaining what it expected of us. Before certain drills, he would run them down by himself so we understood how to perform, then we got a chance to practice with the bike off, then on. If some students were performing better, he gave them other pointers to look out for while riding, and if we were in need of more help, he provided examples to help us understand how to ride safer..."

"Zack was a very understanding and caring instructor. Answered questions outside of the classes scope when brought up and taught that basic teachings weren't the be all end all. Amazing experience and teachings."
- Zachary Zenner, June 2025
"Definitely would recommend this to anyone beginners! I'm genuinely surprised on how much I was able to learn in the two days I attended the training! Dylan and Chris I believe was his name were really patient with me and wouldn't ever show signs of frustration or stress when I would make mistakes. Definitely will consider their intermediate course."

"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"
- Eric Stauss, October 2019
"Loved the training. Had great instructors and everyone loves to teach. It was a place i felt great with learning and making mistakes so they could teach me to be better. Location was perfect as well. Nothing better than being at Laguna Seca."
