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!


"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 am training to be an instructor and it is required to take several classes to get an understanding of the program from a new rider's perspective. I am impressed with how well the program works I have been to 1 class and then I was a student both times I watched Evie teach very new students ranging in age how to ride a motorcycle. She is a great teacher and is very good at giving positive feedback and helping the students if they need help in a certain drill..."

"Chris and Dylan were phenomenal instructors. They were professional, funny, and ensured me and the group were safe. I thoroughly enjoyed this program and would highly recommend it to anyone. On top of being highly informative, my instructors were patient and made sure I was educated. I didn’t know (almost) anything about motorcycles but after this course I feel confident in riding. If you’re thinking about it, you should do it! 🤗"

"It was fantastic, I had alot of fun. You can never have enough motorcycle training. I've already seen a difference when I go out riding. I use the new skills that I've learned and practice them everytime I ride. I already went to dmv and got my motorcycle endorsement. Now i can legally ride on the freeways.Great instructors. I will recommend this training course 👌 💪"

"Very good experience, 10/10 would recommend. The trainers are very experienced and are nice, they made everything easy to follow and complete, and they are super patient with you no matter what. Definitely worth it if you are a new rider or looking to see if you would like to ride a motorcycle some day."

"Wyatt, Q, and Dylan were firm and supportive trainers that for me was the right balance of leadership. The training was a blast with a fun group of beginner riders. The bikes were in top notch shape."
