"I highly recommend this class to any and all riders! I'm a repeat customer (ARC Lvl. 1 & 2) and I am blown away by the curriculum, and even more importantly, the instructors. Ofir and Collen are both amazing! I have ridden motorcycles for over 11 years and have a ton of miles my belt. Even so, I have learned so much from each and every class. I plan to keep practicing and will be back soon!"

"It was cold. It was windy. It was pouring down rain, but the fundamentals were all there for every experience that you may encounter when riding a motorcycle great for beginners and experience riders alike."

"Absolutely amazing experience with Pacific Motorcycle Training! I am so glad this company is offering classes in San Jose. I have taken classes with mutiple training schools and PMT is the best, by far. Their dedication to making riders better is apparent and the staff is amazing. I believe continuing to take motorcycle classes makes riders the most skilled and safest we can be. Highly recommend!"

"I had ZERO experience on a motorcycle and by the first day of behind the wheel class I was riding!! Great course! It’s a lot to take in but the instructors were very patient, friendly and knowledgeable! Dylan and Tony were awesome!! They had great chemistry and made the course fun!! Tony is super supportive and encouraging and Dylan can be hard on you but when he praises you, you know you did a good job! Love the enthusiasm of those two. Will definitely sign up for the intermediate class in the future."

"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!"

"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!"
