"Great experience. Instructors were very patient, thorough, and professional. Would highly recommend for anyone who’s never taken a class whether they are a complete novice or an experienced rider they can benefit from a formal overview of the fundamentals of riding."

"I am a motorcycle rider of 38 years. My son is a newer rider and I took the Basic Training course with him so he could get his license. The instructors are on point and thorough. They went through all the basic skills needed to get started. I really appreciate the training because it never hurts brushing up skills either. I will be returning to this program for more advanced training for myself. Our instructors were Isaac, Jacob and Craig over the two days..."

"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!"

"Wyatt, Q, and Dylan were firm and supportive trainers that for me was the right balance of leadership. The training was a blast with a fun group of beginner riders. The bikes were in top notch shape."

"The instructors were so patient and the safety training was excellent. I felt much more confident after the sessions ended. Erin, Connor and Lorenzo were great instructors and I totally recommend undergoing the safety training before you take your motorcycle on the roads!"

"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..."

"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 ✌🏼"
