"Craig, and his crew at Pacific Motorcycle Training are pros, nuff said. They know their stuff and make a conscious effort to pass it along to you. If your goal is to know how to ride and be safe doing it, you've come to the right place. Prepare to feel confident on the open highway after completion; this course is the real deal."

"Great place to learn how to ride. I came in with absolutely no experience and felt comfortable with all the basics of riding after the course. Instructors were very experienced and supportive. The lecture portion is online and interactive, which is great because you can go through it at whatever pace and repeat chapters as needed."

"Highly recommended if you want to get your motorcycle license. Wyatt, Evie and Lorenzo are awesome instructors. They were very patient and made sure that we are properly trained before we go on the road."

"Great school! Great instructors: Craig, Chris and Ricky are all passionate about teaching others the ins and outs of safe motorcycling. 45 year rider with prior training and I learned new things. If your thinking about taking the course…do it!"

"I completed the basic safety course this past weekend with Thomas and Erin. Great instructors - patient and really helpful! It was my first time riding a motorcycle so I was pretty intimidated at first but much more confident and comfortable by the end of day 2. Huge thanks to the instructors for their time, patience, and dedication. Highly recommend!"

"I got the Total Control book by Lee Parks when I registered and read it before attending the class. I had started to adopt some of the new riding techniques before the course and recommend doing so if possible. The course followed the book with a short classroom overview of each technique and then repeated riding opportunities with coaching after trying out each new technique. The course instructors were all very professional and highly skilled riders that knew their stuff..."
