About Us

Pacific Motorcycle Training

Pacific Motorcycle Training is a motorcycle riding school where students learn the basics and gain confidence to operate a motorcycle safely. We offer motorcycle and scooter training classes at six great locations: South San Francisco, San Bruno, Livermore at Las Positas College campus, Woodland, Salinas and San Jose. These locations are easy to find and parking is always hassle-free.

Our basic course is CMSP-approved. This means students who take and pass our course receive a DL389 certificate required to waive the DMV riding skill test. We teach the very latest techniques in safety, accident prevention, cornering, and how to use a clutch as well as proficient braking.

For New Riders

Learn the basics of riding safely in a controlled environment and receive the certificate that may waive the DMV riding skill test. Our friendly basic riding course was designed for people with zero experience on a motorcycle. We provide motorcycles and helmets for you to learn with.

For Experienced Riders

Become a better—and safer—rider using your own motorcycle with our Intermediate Riding Clinic. Or take your cornering and crash-avoidance skills to the highest level with our Advanced Riding Clinics, taught only by the best certified instructors in the Bay Area!

"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."

"Great school! Great instructors: Craig, Chris and Ricky are all passionate about teaching others the ins and outs of safe motorcycling. 45 year rider with prior training and I learned new things. If your thinking about taking the course…do it!"

"🏍️ Fantastic Beginner Experience: Boosted Confidence on the Road I recently completed the motorcycle course on April 27-28, and as someone with minimal experience, I can't emphasize enough how valuable this course was for me. Not only was it incredibly enjoyable, but it also significantly enhanced my confidence in handling a motorcycle. The instructors were the true stars of the show. Their wealth of experience was evident, and they adeptly conveyed essential knowledge while making the learning process engaging and fun..."

"I took a two-hour one-on-one session with Craig and it was the best investment I’ve made since I first hopped on a bike in 2008. We focused on slow-speed maneuvers and cornering drills that were different from what I’ve covered in multiple MSF courses. The skills I developed and the confidence I gained have made me a better rider. I am looking forward to taking the Intermediate Riding Course with PMT next!"

"I can't thank these guys enough. Such incredible patience and knowledge! We had a class with students from all walks of life and backgrounds, and these guys were able to make everyone's experience a very pleasant one. The classes were super informative and fun. They really do give 110%. Ray, Isaac, and Chris, thank you guys so much. You're absolutely terrific and it's been a pleasure learning from and getting to know you."

"I signed up to this class wanting to overcome past trauma and full filling a life long desire. Walking in with sweating palms, a shaky gate and even fogging up the shield on the helmet I thought everyone could notice the anxiety that was clearly evident. It was my very first time being in control of a motorcycle- there was no need for me to tell the instructors- they already knew. They began to build up my confidence little by little and as the day progressed my body felt more and more at ease..."
