"Erin, Joe and Evie are incredible instructors, super friendly, funny and they have tons of patience. Even someone who has been riding for years can learn a new trick or technique. No one is perfect, and for the beginners, there is no better class. Thank you PMT and team!"
- Stacy Lee Ferguson, May 2025
"Zac & Isaac took the time to explain not just how to ride, but why each technique matters—from proper clutch control and braking to situational awareness on the road. They created a comfortable learning environment where I felt supported, never rushed, and always safe."
- Sheila Brosseau, August 2025
"It was fantastic, I had alot of fun. You can never have enough motorcycle training. I've already seen a difference when I go out riding. I use the new skills that I've learned and practice them everytime I ride. I already went to dmv and got my motorcycle endorsement. Now i can legally ride on the freeways.Great instructors. I will recommend this training course 👌 💪"
- Corey Harvey, July 2025
"Instructors (Chris and Sheila) were awesome, knowledgeable but also used humor and personal stories to help us remember things better. Learning how to ride on the range was much more intense than I expected - went from learning what the clutch and throttle is on the bike to practicing weaving around cones, taking a quick turn, upshifting and then swerving past an obstacle in the road. Great class overall!"
- Zohaib Khan, December 2019
"I had a great experience with Pacific Motorcycle Training. The coaches were super knowledgeable, upbeat, and made the class a ton of fun. I would highly recommend their training classes to all levels of riders. I noticed a remarkable different in my skill level since training with them and look forward to going back!"
- Matt Beals, January 2023
"I am a motorcycle rider of 38 years. My son is a newer rider and I took the Basic Training course with him so he could get his license. The instructors are on point and thorough. They went through all the basic skills needed to get started. I really appreciate the training because it never hurts brushing up skills either. I will be returning to this program for more advanced training for myself. Our instructors were Isaac, Jacob and Craig over the two days..."
- Craig Balson, December 2025
"Let me start off with WOW! This course was just magnificent. The instructors are really fun and amazing, I've never been on a bike before until this course and they tought me every thing I needed to know and now I can confidently ride a motorcycle."
- Gregory Woodruff, September 2018
