"Very good experience, 10/10 would recommend. The trainers are very experienced and are nice, they made everything easy to follow and complete, and they are super patient with you no matter what. Definitely worth it if you are a new rider or looking to see if you would like to ride a motorcycle some day."

"Outstanding class, instructors knew the material but also provided me insightful tips that really made a difference in real time. I appreciated the feedback and truthfully it was not an easy class to complete and requires stamina. Elvie and Erin were so supportive and so was Tony, highly valued their comments and feedback. Relax elbows, ride smoothly and don’t get overly confident. I would recommend all three levels of riding before getting out on the road..."

"Instructors were very patient and informative. They are very understanding of riders who have never been on a bike and make time to take you aside and explain how to adjust your riding style to improve your skills to have a better and safer riding experience! Thank you so much guys and special thanks to Stephanie!"

"This was the best class I have ever taken. The teachers were amazing, especially Craig. His guidance and teaching style was so approachable. So often teachers talk at you but not the case with this program. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!"

"I had an amazing time at Pacific Motorcycle Training in San Bruno! I had no experience with motorcycles before, but I left with a solid foundation and a clear understanding of how to ride one. Our day 1 instructors, Dan and Mike, were super helpful and informative. They showed us how to get familiar with the bike and its controls, and they taught us the basics of riding. I left day 1 feeling really good and excited for day 2. To my surprise, Our day 2 instructors were different, and we were told that’s usually not the case..."

"I came to the class very nervous and very worried because I'm an anxiety prone person when it comes to something that I know there's a test for afterwards. The instructors, Steve and Wyatt, were able to calm my nerves with their ability to clearly state and show through live demonstrations what was needed to be done. By the end of the course, I felt very confident that I learned enough to be able to ride a motorcycle in practice sessions without much fear of getting into an accident..."

"I had a great time taking this course! The instructors Craig and Issac, were patient with me and answered all of my questions. (I hope I didn't ask too many!) They were very informative and made me feel confident, and now I can be a better rider and also a better driver too! I would recommend this course to anyone in the Bay area no matter what level of rider you are."
