"Fantastic, I would highly recommend anybody who is contemplating riding or, is riding a motorcycle to attend. The course work and instructors have given me the basic tools required to learn how to ride a motorcycle correctly as well as of course, a taster of how much fun riding a motorcycle can be."

"It was a great experience. Crusoe, Aaron or Adam? and Mike were all exceptional and explained everything simple enough for me to learn the basics to riding. I have little to no experience prior and I feel a lot better after taking the course."

"PMT was awesome! I’ve been riding a few years and still learned so much! Mark and Zack are great teachers! They explained everything very well and made sure everyone understood. I’ll be going back to the intermediate class and talked one of my friends into going also, definitely worth it. Hopefully I’ll get mark and Zach as instructors again! 🤘"

"Highly recommended! I haven’t been riding in 10 years so this beginner class was perfect! Instructors are very experienced and knowledgeable. I learned so much about what I didn’t know."

"Fantastic experience. Joey, Erin, and Anthony were great instructors! I had taken this same course at a Harley dealer, but the range guy there was a bit of a jerk... I mean I get it, with safety and all... And a lot of people don't pay attention to simple instructions... But c'mon, it's just a beginner class 🤷🏻‍♂️. At Pacific, it was A GREAT learning environment. And I loved the extra exercise at the end with them having us pretend that we were in traffic! I'm glad I signed up and will get some miles under my belt before I try the IRC! UPDATE: Just took the IRC and it's basically an advanced beginner course! Much less intimidating than what I thought it would be originally..."

"Very great place to get your license as a beginner if you don't want to take the dmv test! Instructors Wyatt and Isaac were amazing! Picked up new skills even though I already knew how to ride. 10/10"
