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!


"The basic course was a rewarding and positive learning experience with a strong emphasis on skills building and reinforcement with real world application. It is imperative that all new motorcyclists complete this training. As a returning motorcyclist I found it to be a great review that helped me to unlearn bad habits, especially in emergency braking. The instructors are exemplary. I will take the intermediate and advanced courses as soon as I can..."

"I came in here with 0 riding skills and signed up for the basic level course. With our small group of students, the instructor Zach payed careful attention to each students skill level and making sure we all performed to the best of our ability by explaining what it expected of us. Before certain drills, he would run them down by himself so we understood how to perform, then we got a chance to practice with the bike off, then on. If some students were performing better, he gave them other pointers to look out for while riding, and if we were in need of more help, he provided examples to help us understand how to ride safer..."

"It was a great experience. Crusoe, Aaron or Adam? and Mike were all exceptional and explained everything simple enough for me to learn the basics to riding. I have little to no experience prior and I feel a lot better after taking the course."

"Truly my "ride or die" cycling course. From the moment I signed up for the beginner's course at Pacific Motorcycle Training, I was met with professionalism and enthusiasm. The quality of the instruction I received was outstanding; my instructor demonstrated extensive knowledge and a passion for riding that was truly infectious. Each lesson was clear, concise, and built confidence as well as skill. I was impressed by the meticulous attention to safety and the way the instructors emphasized its importance throughout the training..."

"The instructors, Wyatt and Steve were great! Before this class, I had not even sat on a motorcycle for more than 10 seconds (maybe). Their approach to teaching and coaching was very warm and welcoming and was exactly what a beginner needs to understand the basics, risks, safety, and what happens or doesn’t happen when performing riding techniques. I have already recommended this class to friends and family and hope they also get the top tier teachings I experienced."
