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 and scooter 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.

"The instructors- Chris, Alex and Isaac, were incredibly kind and helpful, and made sure everyone in the course got the skills they needed to be more comfortable and informed riders. I could not recommend these guys and this course enough for anyone looking to get into being a safe rider on the road"

"I had basically no experience on a motorcycle. The instructors were patient, extremely helpful, and had a good progression though the class for beginners. By the end of the riding portion I had a basic grasp of how to ride. I am by no means ready to hit the highway, but I am more than comfortable enough to ride and practice on my own on slow streets and get better on my own now that I know the fundamentals."

"I think it was one of the best things I’ve done for myself in forever. It was very knowledgeable. Very informative and instructors were awesome. I just wish it was more personalized anyways, but that’s it other than that I would recommend it to my grandmother. I witnessed almost 2 individuals that had no knowledge about motorcycle riding when they got there and on the second day, they were riding their motorcycle like a champ that goes to show that the instructors did their jobs ..."

"I rode a motorcycle a long time ago. I stopped riding in 1992 and about 7 years ago I let my license go . I found it to be very informative. The instructor was wonderful. I'm going to take their advanced class."

"I recently attended the Pacific Motorcycle Training as part of the California Motorcycle Safety Program, and I had an excellent experience. The training was incredibly helpful, providing me with the necessary skills and confidence to ride safely. The instructors were knowledgeable, patient, and always willing to go the extra mile to ensure everyone understood the material. The staff was also very friendly and supportive, offering additional help whenever needed..."

"Instructors were friendly and gave good constructive criticism about how to fix your issues. I was a total beginner when it came to riding a bikes and by the end of the class I was quite comfortable with the maneuvering. My only wish is if the course completion certificate and form for the DMV was given faster or in person rather than mailed so we can get our license faster."
