"My experience was great with Pacific Motorcycle Training in Woodland, on the Pioneer High School campus. Thomas and Steve were the instructors and they were very knowledgeable, supportive and fostered an overall nonjudgmental environment that was conducive to learning. I had never ridden a motorcycle in my life and by the end of the course I had a lot of the foundational skills down. I would recommend this course to anyone. And extra shout out to Thomas and Steve!"

"What an excellent class. I was expecting when j showed up that many people were going to have a lot of experience on a motorcycle already. Turns out, most of them never been on a motorized bike, we all passed, a couple folks needed some extra time to learn things and that’s what happen. 100% recommend this beginner course for anyone!"
- Andrew Butko, May 2026
