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.

"Took a training class here and was extremely impressed by the instructors. I had quite a few questions and they answered them all quickly and logically. Being a newbie rider I didn't have a ton of confidence at first, but halfway through the course I felt like I was riding like a pro. Will send my friends here and definitely recommend PMT for anyone getting into riding!"

"My instructors Steve and Erin for the first day were amazing. They were great at getting me acquainted with the bike, feeling comfortable, and boosting my confidence. They were exactly what I needed for my first day riding. My instructors Dylan and Crusoe for the 2nd day were equally amazing. They took everything we learned from the first day and expanded on it. They were extremely knowledgeable and could exactly pin point my errors so I could work on them in real time..."

"I had a good experience in this training. I felt pretty safe riding a motorcycle around the course. The bikes are pretty new, and the helmets are in good shape too! The staff is knowledgable, friendly, and they answer all your questions."

"Our two days of training with our instructor Q was great. The helmet that they loaned me for me alright and was in great condition. The motorcycles area smaller and off brand for the most part. Some throttles and clutches were really old to the point where some of us had to kick the shifter so much it just broke off. Overall the sign up process was also straightforward. I called in to make sure i got everything right, they called me back and patiently explained everything..."

"Super patient and Likable instructors. Don't come thinking you know everything, do not be late, bring healthy snacks, listen and pay close attention to more experienced riders. What you pay to participate in the course is so worth it in the end. Morning class Feb 28 - Mar 1."
