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.

"The introductory motorcycle course was great! Stephen the instructor was professional, friendly, and a great teacher. He gave excellent feedback as we practiced and made sure to identify and correct problems. The class taught so many necessary skills and aside from that, it was fun! Even though the second day on the range it rained, we still pushed through and completed the lessons. I highly recommend the course to anyone looking to begin riding..."

"I have never ridden a motorcycle and appreciated the way the class was taught. I appreciated that the instructors were patient, spoke clearly, was right there with me through every step. I felt my growth and how excited when I was able to lift my feet onto the pegs and ride to the end of the course. This was a great course to start this new journey on. thank you Brian, Tyson and Shoakah for showing me the way."

"It was fantastic, I had alot of fun. You can never have enough motorcycle training. I've already seen a difference when I go out riding. I use the new skills that I've learned and practice them everytime I ride. I already went to dmv and got my motorcycle endorsement. Now i can legally ride on the freeways.Great instructors. I will recommend this training course 👌 💪"
