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.

"Definitely would recommend this to anyone beginners! I'm genuinely surprised on how much I was able to learn in the two days I attended the training! Dylan and Chris I believe was his name were really patient with me and wouldn't ever show signs of frustration or stress when I would make mistakes. Definitely will consider their intermediate course."

"Dan and Wyatt were great instructors. Wyatt is super chill and explains well while offering his own tips to make sure you really understand. Dan is super lighthearted and is always cracking jokes so you don’t feel too bad or beat yourself up when you make a mistake. I would definitely recommend taking this class as a first time rider they are super patient with you no matter how many times you stall the bike, make sure to bring snacks it’s a decent amount of time to be rider and learning."

"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! 🤘"

"Instructors (Chris and Sheila) were awesome, knowledgeable but also used humor and personal stories to help us remember things better. Learning how to ride on the range was much more intense than I expected - went from learning what the clutch and throttle is on the bike to practicing weaving around cones, taking a quick turn, upshifting and then swerving past an obstacle in the road. Great class overall!"
