"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."
