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.

For Experienced Riders

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!

"Great class and teachers. Q, Crusoe, and Dylan really did a great job, especially with coaching some of the first time riders. I used to ride a dirt bike when I was younger and I found this class a great refresher for getting back on the road and I highly recommend this taking courses here vs Bay Area Motorcycle Training (which I've taken before)"

"The instructors, Wyatt and Steve were great! Before this class, I had not even sat on a motorcycle for more than 10 seconds (maybe). Their approach to teaching and coaching was very warm and welcoming and was exactly what a beginner needs to understand the basics, risks, safety, and what happens or doesn’t happen when performing riding techniques. I have already recommended this class to friends and family and hope they also get the top tier teachings I experienced."

"Isaac and Zac were fantastic instructors for the Basic Motorcycle Training course! They did a great job explaining everything clearly and thoroughly, making sure everyone understood the fundamentals needed not just for training but also for getting licensed. The practices were run on time, well-structured, and really helped build confidence. They treated everyone with respect and were patient with each person’s skill level. Highly recommend this team if you’re looking to get started with riding!"

"Chris and Dylan were phenomenal instructors. They were professional, funny, and ensured me and the group were safe. I thoroughly enjoyed this program and would highly recommend it to anyone. On top of being highly informative, my instructors were patient and made sure I was educated. I didn’t know (almost) anything about motorcycles but after this course I feel confident in riding. If you’re thinking about it, you should do it! 🤗"

"Outstanding class, instructors knew the material but also provided me insightful tips that really made a difference in real time. I appreciated the feedback and truthfully it was not an easy class to complete and requires stamina. Elvie and Erin were so supportive and so was Tony, highly valued their comments and feedback. Relax elbows, ride smoothly and don’t get overly confident. I would recommend all three levels of riding before getting out on the road..."

"Kevin, Wyatt, and Steve were amazing, enthusiastic, and experienced instructors. They made learning how to ride a motorcycle so much easier. Very informative class if anyone is looking into riding. I would highly recommend taking the beginner class to learn the basics. It’ll help you become a better rider on the road."

"Had great teachers. Christ and Isaac. Have great tips and teachings to help me do things correctly and fix my mistakes. I got great skills and confidence and will definitely take the intermediate class at a later time."
