Motorcycle Riding Courses for Experienced Riders

Pacific Motorcycle Training

We offer three different options for riders who want to become better and safer on the road.

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 took a two-hour one-on-one session with Craig and it was the best investment I’ve made since I first hopped on a bike in 2008. We focused on slow-speed maneuvers and cornering drills that were different from what I’ve covered in multiple MSF courses. The skills I developed and the confidence I gained have made me a better rider. I am looking forward to taking the Intermediate Riding Course with PMT next!"

"I had a great experience! It was fun, approachable, and appropriately suited for beginner riders. The instructors (Jose, Andrew, and Jacob) did a great job educating us, supporting us, and helping us apply proper technique while we learned. They also impressed upon us the real-world dangers that exist when riding motorcycles while teaching us how to actively avoid or manage those risks to the best of our ability. I highly recommend this course to anybody looking to start riding a motorcycle."

"Took this training course and never been on a motorcycle. I took the classroom portion on eRider prior to practice riding range. This made it easy as it was going at my own pace. Really get to focus on what was being taught. The first day of riding portion, they’ll teach you where the controls are on the bike and a lot of slow maneuvering and Taking corners. Thomas and Mark was very patient. I was tentative but they kept reminding me to trust the process..."

"I had a great experience with Pacific Motorcycle Training. The online course was fun and easy to follow while also being very informative. It changed my opinion on a few items. The in-person training was so much fun - even though it rained a bit 😃. The instructors were friendly and knowledgeable and the course was set up well. I plan to take the intermediate and advanced classes next."

"Such a great experience. Wyatt is a great instructor and totally demystified the basics of riding a motorcycle. Great beginner bikes to learn on and the space is just what you need to start/build a little confidence. Will definitely recommend to anyone wanting to learn how to ride. The course gave me that itch to want to keep evolving my skills."
