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!

"All I can say is that I had so much fun taking the class specially when I had no experience riding a motorcycle. 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"

"This is the place where you want to do your training. The instructor Steven was excellent, the bikes were in good shape and easy to ride, Jennifer in the office went above and beyond to get me my certificate quickly so that I could start the process at the DMV in time for my trip abroad. Highly recommended."

"10/10 i was so nervous my first day and even fell because of it, but the instructors were so nice and helpful that i was able to get up and pass the class. Would definitely recommend it for anyone in the sac/woodland area."

"Amazing course, recommend every rider take at least the basic. My instructors, Joseph and Tony, were upbeat and very knowledgeable. They encouraged all riders to try their best and constantly improve. Very friendly environment overall."

"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."

"Even though I have many years of riding experience this course really helped me identify some things to help me really improve my riding abilities. Seth and Steven were really great and gave me great feedback throughout the sessions. Highly recommend this course for anyone who has never ridden a motorcycle to those with some experience."

"Dylan, Chris, and Q were all excellent instructors! I genuinely feel so much more safe and confident on a motorcycle now, and definitely recommend anyone thinking of riding (even if you're just riding Revel scooters around SF like I am!) to do the class, totally worth it."
