"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!"

― Jon Perpetua

"Helpful staff. Knowledgeable instructors. You will definitely come out more confident in riding a motorcycle if you are a newbie. A con though: You better pass the written test the first time, or else they will charge you $75 to re-take it. I personally did not see the reason why. I mean, I took it during their business hour."

― Johnny Gonzalez

"Evie, Erin, and Crusoe we’re great instructors, they gave great advise and feedback on our skills! I highly recommend taking this course if you’re interested in learning how to ride a motorcycle or just want to become a better rider…. For us newbies, we will need to continue practicing to hone in on our skills…"

"Absolutely phenomenal experience. The instructors were knowledgeable and exuded a deep passion for riding. I have ridden motorcycles most of my life but I was still able to learn quite a bit. The value of just practicing drills over and over again really enhances your understanding and comfort on the bike."

― Logan Ellis

"Pacific Motorcycle Training will provide the basic tools needed, preparing new riders to get out there and mix it up safely with the four-wheeled masses. The numerous instructors are very knowledgeable and give an appropriate dose of confidence to new riders, while offering valuable reminders and safety tips to the more seasoned rider. They also offer more advanced riding classes. Totally worth the time, money, and your life"

― Eric Stauss

"The instructors are great & the pace was perfect for me. Training on relatively heavy & powerful Sportsters probably sets riders up for success on more bikes than programs that use smaller beginner bikes. My goal was to gain enough skill to continue learning on my own (after many years away from riding). That s exactly what I got from the class."
