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!

"For never having ridden a motorcycle, the instructors did an amazing job. It was well worth the money, and I had a blast! Would definitely recommend this course to anyone thinking about getting a motorcycle."

"I have never ridden a motorcycle and appreciated the way the class was taught. I appreciated that the instructors were patient, spoke clearly, was right there with me through every step. I felt my growth and how excited when I was able to lift my feet onto the pegs and ride to the end of the course. This was a great course to start this new journey on. thank you Brian, Tyson and Shoakah for showing me the way."

"This was a great experience. I'd never even been on a bike before and by the end of day two I could actually manage the bike and learned so much. The instructors were amazing, informative, patient, and knowledgeable. Would highly recommend."

"The instructors were so patient and the safety training was excellent. I felt much more confident after the sessions ended. Erin, Connor and Lorenzo were great instructors and I totally recommend undergoing the safety training before you take your motorcycle on the roads!"

"The instructors are really patient and extremely knowledgeable. I recommend this class especially if your a beginner rider. Even if you have been riding for a while like me I actually learned some stuff that I didn't realize I was doing wrong. You really can't put a price on safety."

"As a person who rode for 18+ years then took a 35+ year break, the class was an excellent refresher. It helped me remember a lot of things (push steering for one) that I had long forgotten. The instructors were personable, friendly, professional and VERY knowledgeable. All in all, I feel it was an excellent investment in time and money. I highly recommend this class for ALL beginners and those of us that have had a long hiatus from riding."

"Absolutely amazing experience with Pacific Motorcycle Training! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I just completed the 2-day CMSP course (May 28-29) at the Marine Corps Reserve Center in San Bruno and I left with not only a passing grade but also a huge confidence boost. What made this course stand out: • The instructors are SO patient and genuinely care about each student's progress. They take the time to explain every drill — Box, Cone Weave, Quick Stop, Swerve — and break down the techniques in a way that's easy to understand..."
