"Dylan and Christian are extremely knowledgeable and very focused on safety and building confidence. They provided individual feedback during all the exercises to help ensure success. Dylan was particularly positive and encouraging and helped me gain confidence to pass the class."

"10/10 i was so nervous my first day and even fell because of it, but the instructors were so nice and helpful that i was able to get up and pass the class. Would definitely recommend it for anyone in the sac/woodland area."

"I took the most basic course Pacific Motorcycle Training offers (for simply getting your license). The instructors are very knowledgeable at teaching motorcycle riding, and made the whole experience stress-free, clear to understand, and fulfilling. It is worth the money, and I plan on coming back for more advanced classes after I get more advanced at riding."

"Great course that taught me the necessary skills while having some fun. They have a variety of bikes to learn on and the instructors Chris and Dillon were real cool overall great experience with the only one real downside being there can be a few too many people for the course I felt. 🤙"
