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!

Appreciated the water and snacks provided. I will go back to attend more training, I feel so much safer on the road having completed their courses!"

"Lots of fun! Plan on continuing with the Intermediate and Advanced Courses. Great location... I drove from Sac to avoid the 100 deg days. Instructors: Tony, Q, Steven, and Dillon were each awesome. Great conclusion by Dillon making sure we understand our level of experience... saving lives."

"This was my second experience with Pacific Motorcycle Training. Both classes were conducted with the highest level of professionalism and care for each student. I noticed that every member of this most recent class signed up for a followup class. I would highly recommend this outfit for motorcycle training on all levels. As they said the class, these skills are perishable and require on-going practice and re-learning to maintain."

"Absolutely fantastic training for the newbie!! I was riding a motorcycle by the end of the day- it was fabulous! The teachers, both in the classroom and on the range, are all very experienced (10+years) riders. They stayed calm even when I didn't. The classroom instruction is thorough but not excessive; I would have loved a few more hours on the range since I was SO new. I will definitely be taking more classes with them!"

"PMT class was an amazing experience, much better curriculum and instructors than I’ve found through any of the other many classes I’ve taken. Registration was simple. Instructors delivered materials efficiently and in pretty simple terms. Thanks, guys! I’ll come back to you guys for sure when I decide on to move to intermediate and advanced classes. Highly recommend"
