"I had a great experience with Pacific Motorcycle Training. The online course was fun and easy to follow while also being very informative. It changed my opinion on a few items. The in-person training was so much fun - even though it rained a bit 😃. The instructors were friendly and knowledgeable and the course was set up well. I plan to take the intermediate and advanced classes next."

"This is the place where you want to do your training. The instructor Steven was excellent, the bikes were in good shape and easy to ride, Jennifer in the office went above and beyond to get me my certificate quickly so that I could start the process at the DMV in time for my trip abroad. Highly recommended."

"The Pacific Motorcycle Training held by Issac and James was an excellent experience. Both instructors took care in providing specific and clear coaching advice. Doing the online course provided a great deal of preparation for the in person events. The only somewhat feedback I could give was around logistics. The pin included in the email routed me to the spartan race parking area just over the hill. I recommend paying more attention to the turn by turn directions included in the email instead of relying on the pin drop in the email..."

"Attended the ARC1 in San Jose. The instructors were great and the course was interesting both the "classroom" and the practical aspect. What really surprised me, was at the end of the course I didn't think I got much out of it, a few pointers maybe, but I felt like it wasn't worth the time... I was wrong!! As soon as I got on my ride home over Hwy 17, I realized very quickly that I was much more relaxed, rode faster, and yet more safely, and expended much less energy while doing so, the corners flowed with zero tension..."

"This course was a great value! The instructors have a fantastic breadth of knowledge and know exactly how to make their wisdom stick with the students. I would recommend this course to anyone who wants a leg-up on motorcycle safety which, in this day and age with more and more people on the road, is a necessity."
- Adam Stroup, October 2019
"The Instructors Are Really Nice & Cool With Everybody In The Class . They Demonstrate & Read Instructions Each Skill Very Clearly.. I’ve Enjoyed My Time Taking The MSF Class Even Though It Was My First Time On A Motorcycle.. If Anyone Would Like To Learn The Basics Please Take This Class I Highly Recommend !"
