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!


"Excellent training services. Friendly customer support. Awesome instructors. Would recommend. Wyatt and Lorenzo do an amazing job!"

"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!"

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..."

Joey, Erin and Jason made it so easy and FUN and NOT BORING taking the class they were so supportive, hands on and they teach you all the basic stuff even with or without experience in riding a motorcycle this Duo was really awesome I was really glad I had them as my instructor. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED"

"Very knowledgeable and clearly dedicated staff. Q, Wyatt, and Tony were energetic, understanding, and had our safety and learning as their highest priority. As a somewhat experienced rider, I found this course very informative and useful. If you are a new rider, this course is indispensable. Take the course."
