"Taking this class made me so much more comfortable on a bike then I previously was. After taking the online courses and the driving classes I learned more and felt more confident. The instructor was clear and helpful, wasn't afraid to answer our questions."

"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."

"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."

"This was my second experience with Pacific Motorcycle Training. Both classes were conducted with the highest level of professionalism and care for each student. I noticed that every member of this most recent class signed up for a followup class. I would highly recommend this outfit for motorcycle training on all levels. As they said the class, these skills are perishable and require on-going practice and re-learning to maintain."

"Wow! These folks are true Pro’s. The online training prior to the beginning class was powerful. I learned so much and felt like I was already practicing in my mind before arriving. The in person/on bike part of the class was equally impressive. The teachers read each segment from a book and everything ran with military precision. That might sound boring or stiff, but after they made sure you got what you needed from the book, they added golden nuggets from their own experience..."

"Attended the ARC1 in San Jose. The instructors were great and the course was interesting both the "classroom" and the practical aspect. What really surprised me, was at the end of the course I didn't think I got much out of it, a few pointers maybe, but I felt like it wasn't worth the time... I was wrong!! As soon as I got on my ride home over Hwy 17, I realized very quickly that I was much more relaxed, rode faster, and yet more safely, and expended much less energy while doing so, the corners flowed with zero tension..."

"I took the beginner course here. Before taking this course, I had never been on a motorcycle. Now I can say I can confidently operate a bike and be safe. Wyatt, Erin, and Q are great instructors! They are super knowledgeable and patient. Throughout the course, they did a great job at building up everyone’s confidence and preparing them for the assessment. I will definitely be taking the intermediate course once I get my own bike!"
