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 had a terrific experience at the two-day basic training course. The programming was extremely well-organized, and the instructors were both skilled and extremely supportive and encouraging. They gave really helpful individualized attention even in the midst of the large-group instruction. I also felt they were truly committed to the safety and success of their students. I will recommend this course widely and return again for more advanced instruction."

"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 a training class here and was extremely impressed by the instructors. I had quite a few questions and they answered them all quickly and logically. Being a newbie rider I didn't have a ton of confidence at first, but halfway through the course I felt like I was riding like a pro. Will send my friends here and definitely recommend PMT for anyone getting into riding!"

"Went here January 2023. Super great experience. It was my first time using a clutch, and everything was explained extremely clearly. I am going to get my permit as soon as my form comes in the mail. Strongly reccomend to anyone wanting to get into motorcycles safely. If I can do it at 17 then anyone can."

"I had ridden motorcycle back in India and was getting back into it again here in the US. The training was very educating and the staff was super friendly. They had helmets and even gloves so that helped too. The bikes were very good and didn't pose any issues. The instructors, Anthony, Erin, and Tony were very nice and helped us immensely during the two day program. I loved the experience and would love to take intermediate lessons some time in future."

"Erin, Joe and Evie are incredible instructors, super friendly, funny and they have tons of patience. Even someone who has been riding for years can learn a new trick or technique. No one is perfect, and for the beginners, there is no better class. Thank you PMT and team!"

"The instructors are very friendly and patient with riders who are typically new to riding. Ensuring that they are pausing to answer questions and allowing time for new riders to catch up with those that might have some experience. They are constantly providing feedback to ensure that riders are correcting behavior to be successful with the class. I would highly recommend these guys for those who are looking to sign up for some lessons!"
