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.

"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! 🤘"

"Epic learning experience!!! Conceptual, tactile, visual and hands-on! Very thorough lesson by highly experienced instructors at the perfect pace to allow even the most novice of beginners to grasp the dexterous maneuvers required to take to the road beyond. Absolute must step to getting the m1 license. Huge thanks to Wyatt, Kevin and Steve for helping me pass my test and getting on the road to that horizon. AAAAAAAAA+++++++++"
