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 am a motorcycle rider of 38 years. My son is a newer rider and I took the Basic Training course with him so he could get his license. The instructors are on point and thorough. They went through all the basic skills needed to get started. I really appreciate the training because it never hurts brushing up skills either. I will be returning to this program for more advanced training for myself. Our instructors were Isaac, Jacob and Craig over the two days..."

"Pacific Motorcycle Training will provide the basic tools needed, preparing new riders to get out there and mix it up safely with the four-wheeled masses. The numerous instructors are very knowledgeable and give an appropriate dose of confidence to new riders, while offering valuable reminders and safety tips to the more seasoned rider. They also offer more advanced riding classes. Totally worth the time, money, and your life"

"Attended the ARC1 in San Jose. The instructors were great and the course was interesting both the "classroom" and the practical aspect. What really surprised me, was at the end of the course I didn't think I got much out of it, a few pointers maybe, but I felt like it wasn't worth the time... I was wrong!! As soon as I got on my ride home over Hwy 17, I realized very quickly that I was much more relaxed, rode faster, and yet more safely, and expended much less energy while doing so, the corners flowed with zero tension..."

"The training was very useful, efficient and fun. I took the class in Livermore and the facilities are great and I didn’t feel rushed. A call out to our wonderful instructors - Dave, Erin and Anthony. It was nearly a 100F both days and they did a great job despite the heat. I would highly recommend this class."

"I had a great time taking this course! The instructors Craig and Issac, were patient with me and answered all of my questions. (I hope I didn't ask too many!) They were very informative and made me feel confident, and now I can be a better rider and also a better driver too! I would recommend this course to anyone in the Bay area no matter what level of rider you are."

"Really cool staff, very knowledgeable (Maya, Tommy, George and Chris are all excellent instructors! ) Had a good time and learned a lot plus gained confidence in my riding. Will be signing up for that track day soon on my new Mt 09 :)"
