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 instructors who brought patience, humor and first class professionalism to the serious topics covered through this well thought out program. The bikes are adequate for the job and the location is ideal with great views and no distractions. The toilets are quite a walk and during our visit could have done with a few lightbulbs being replaced. The 6 to 1 instructor to pupil ratio is ideal in providing quality learning."

"The location was fenced in and well protected from any outside traffic concerns. The motorcycle provided was well suited for my size and ran well. The course was both challenging and educational at the same time and the instructors - Cursoe, Dillon and Q were very helpful with clear instruction, firm safety practices, supportive feedback, fun and alot of patience. Great job by all! Even with a little rain it was a great experience."

"A must for anyone thinking of riding. The instructors are amazing and actually care about you learning vs just trying to get you through the lesson. The exercises are useful and to the point, none of the time is wasted on anything you wouldn’t use on the road."
