"Wyatt and Issac were excellent instructors, I learned a lot. It was good practical training, I plan on going back for the intermediate course"

- Robert Bickford, July 2025

"I highly recommend PCT to anyone wanting to learn how to ride. Tony, Crusoe, and Q were fantastic trainers. They were really patient and very helpful! Such a great experience."

- Reggie Brooks, July 2023

"Really cool staff, very knowledgeable (Maya, Tommy, George and Chris are all excellent instructors! ) Had a good time and learned a lot plus gained confidence in my riding. Will be signing up for that track day soon on my new Mt 09 :)"

"So handsome, so dashing"

"The trainers were absolutely amazing. They gave reassurance to everyone to make sure they were comfortable on their bike. Erin and Wyatt work together flawlessly. Dave was a great trainer as well but it seems he has his own style of training versus the other instructors. I would definitely recommend this course. It was a fun class to take. Hope everyone stays safe riding ✌🏼"

- Jocelyn Butler, September 2024

"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!"

- Pearce Ekel, April 2025

"PMT is an excellent choice for all your motorcycle training needs, hands down! Very professional, could not think of a better teacher for what I am looking for in furthering my competency as a motorcycle driver!!! Thank you!"
