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!


"Great experience. The instructors were very knowledgeable with all their instructions. Great class for new riders and a great refresher course for people with some riding expedience."
- Michael Bigley, March 2024
"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..."

"The best motorcycle school with the very best instructors - relaxed, friendly, patient, and very supportive. When you do something right, they encourage you to keep riding well,. When you do something wrong, they gently point you in the right direction. In my class we had total beginners and still everybody passed because the instructors were so good. THANK YOU guys!"

"Helpful staff. Knowledgeable instructors. You will definitely come out more confident in riding a motorcycle if you are a newbie. A con though: You better pass the written test the first time, or else they will charge you $75 to re-take it. I personally did not see the reason why. I mean, I took it during their business hour."

"Craig, and his crew at Pacific Motorcycle Training are pros, nuff said. They know their stuff and make a conscious effort to pass it along to you. If your goal is to know how to ride and be safe doing it, you've come to the right place. Prepare to feel confident on the open highway after completion; this course is the real deal."

"The class was very well organized. All three instructors I had were kind, encouraging, and fun. They were very clear in communicating instructions and feedback. The class covered basic skills with a good amount of practice time. I had a great time and learned a lot. I’m excited to ride, and come back to take the next class."
