"Great instructors, great group of learners, and good conditioned bikes and well-run course. Special shout-out to Lorenzo and the other instructor from the 1/24 course (sorry I forgot your name)."

"Zack was a very understanding and caring instructor. Answered questions outside of the classes scope when brought up and taught that basic teachings weren't the be all end all. Amazing experience and teachings."

"I had an excellent experience during the CMSP basic course with Pacific Motorcycle Training in the Monterey/Salinas area. I have been a passenger on a motorcycle before, but had never rode one by myself. The instructors for our course, Dillon and Chris, were enthusiastic, cared for our safety, and made everyone feel welcome regardless of experience level. They made me even more excited to begin my journey as a motorcycle rider."

"The location was fenced in and well protected from any outside traffic concerns. The motorcycle provided was well suited for my size and ran well. The course was both challenging and educational at the same time and the instructors - Cursoe, Dillon and Q were very helpful with clear instruction, firm safety practices, supportive feedback, fun and alot of patience. Great job by all! Even with a little rain it was a great experience."

"The instructors take time to explain everything for beginners and intermediate training. They then show you how each concept is implemented on the motorcycle and learning hands on. Although I was nervous, the instructors had a lot of patience and pointed out what I needed to do to become a better rider."

"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."
