"Great course even if you have zero riding experience like me. Instructor Dillon struck a great balance between enthusiastic coaching, professional approach and having a good time. Lots of time actually riding and learning to handle the bike. You can bring your own bike if you check with the office first. My partner (who already rides) took this class with me and thought it was a significantly better class than other CSMP courses he has attended in the area..."

"I struggled a lot with the weight of the bike and fell a couple times. Q gave me helpful tips on balancing the bike and offered a lighter bike. All the teachers were very helpful, knowledgable and patient. The first day was hard learning the basics but by the end I learned how to ride the motorcycle and was able to pass the class."

"I came in here with 0 riding skills and signed up for the basic level course. With our small group of students, the instructor Zach payed careful attention to each students skill level and making sure we all performed to the best of our ability by explaining what it expected of us. Before certain drills, he would run them down by himself so we understood how to perform, then we got a chance to practice with the bike off, then on. If some students were performing better, he gave them other pointers to look out for while riding, and if we were in need of more help, he provided examples to help us understand how to ride safer..."

"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."

"I had an amazing time at Pacific Motorcycle Training in San Bruno! I had no experience with motorcycles before, but I left with a solid foundation and a clear understanding of how to ride one. Our day 1 instructors, Dan and Mike, were super helpful and informative. They showed us how to get familiar with the bike and its controls, and they taught us the basics of riding. I left day 1 feeling really good and excited for day 2. To my surprise, Our day 2 instructors were different, and we were told that’s usually not the case..."
