"George and Isaac did an awesome job! Not only did they give an amazing presentation but they made sure we had tons of fun! We learned so much in such a little time but they made sure we understood concepts such as SPAT and SIPDE. I feel really comfortable with approaching turns and safety maneuvers. The classroom instructors were awesome too! Very engaging and knowledgeable!"

"The instructors, Q, Steve, and Evie were very knowledgeable. They explained things well and kept everything on time. They were able to identify when I needed special instructions and pulled me out to coach me on proper techniques and gave me specific information that helped me improve."
― Joe Kepiro
"Couldn’t hope for a more comprehensive way to refresh my memory after not riding for the last ten years, and get my motorcycle endorsement while at it. Super easy to reach (walk through the Tanforan from the San Bruno BART station and it’s right across the street) and incredibly patient and knowledgeable instructors (props to Dillon for his great attitude and humor!)."

"The instructors made the class very enjoyable and fun. I appreciate their patience and assistance with all that had questions. I will recommend them to anyone who is planning to ride a motorcycle."

"I took the Pacific Motorcycle Training course in San Bruno and it was an incredible experience. The instructors did an awesome job not only teaching in-class principles effectively, but demonstrating in the field why those principles are relevant and necessary if you’re planning on riding motorcycles for a lifetime. I had a great time in this class and would recommend it to anyone who wants to be a better, safer, and more proficient rider."

"I am so impressed with this company I felt enthusiastically inspired to express this as a recommendation to all who have even the slightest interest in bicycles, e-bikes, motorcycles of all kinds and even drivers. We all share the road, and though there are more divers than motorcyclists, becoming aware of the safety for all vehicles, and human lives traveling in or around them, is such a key cornerstone anthem we should always be striving for. This class did just that. Pacific Motorcycle Training team were so helpful. It was so easy to sign up. Not only did I become familiar and successful completing the online e-rider course, the two days of hands on experience operating and learning with expert instructors supporting me the whole way through, this journey has made all the difference in the world to feeling more confident excited to explore such an exhilarating experience of motorcycles. I was so impressed with their skill, knowledge, patience and their ability to teach the material in a very digestible and memorable manner. I am so grateful I signed up for this course. As a 38 year old woman I now feel empowered to ride knowing that I’ve gained so many skills and abilities to be as safe as I can in real life without the anxiety of getting into a situation and panic instead of calmly reacting appropriately and safely. Some people love 4 wheels and some prefer 2 wheels, yet both deserve respect , consideration, and concentration of all who participate in sharing the open road. Thank you Pacific Motorcycle Training and team for all your guidance and encouragement and I am very much looking forward to continuing this journey taking classes to the next level and continue striving towards gaining even more skills and knowledge in how to be the best rider I can out there. Thanks 🙏 I appreciate you all. -Ruthie"
