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 training classes at 7 great locations: South San Francisco, San Bruno, Livermore at Las Positas College campus, Woodland, Salinas, Cloverdale and Eureka. 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.

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!

"Loved the training. Had great instructors and everyone loves to teach. It was a place i felt great with learning and making mistakes so they could teach me to be better. Location was perfect as well. Nothing better than being at Laguna Seca."

"PMT was awesome! I’ve been riding a few years and still learned so much! Mark and Zack are great teachers! They explained everything very well and made sure everyone understood. I’ll be going back to the intermediate class and talked one of my friends into going also, definitely worth it. Hopefully I’ll get mark and Zach as instructors again! 🤘"

"The location was fenced in and well protected from any outside traffic concerns. The motorcycle provided was well suited for my size and ran well. The course was both challenging and educational at the same time and the instructors - Cursoe, Dillon and Q were very helpful with clear instruction, firm safety practices, supportive feedback, fun and alot of patience. Great job by all! Even with a little rain it was a great experience."
