"I feels so much more confident on the bike now! The instructors were incredibly knowledgeable and patient with us. I would recommend anyone looking to get on a motorcycle to take this class first!"

"Top notch. The instructors are GREAT! So informative. I was very new to riding and new to California, and pmt gave me the confidence and training I needed to ride safe."

― Tyler Jones

"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. I took the advanced course level 1 and will probably take the level 2 class when my schedule and a course line up. My riding skills increased immediately as I completed this coarse and will continue to improve as I practice during my normal riding schedule."

"I had a great time taking this course! The instructors Craig and Issac, were patient with me and answered all of my questions. (I hope I didn't ask too many!) They were very informative and made me feel confident, and now I can be a better rider and also a better driver too! I would recommend this course to anyone in the Bay area no matter what level of rider you are."
