"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."

"I took the January 24 course with Craig and Evie as the instructors. Great coaching, great drills, and great classroom explanations! Great meeting all the other students and learning from all the feedback. I would highly recommend the intermediate course and will be taking an advanced course in the future!!"

"The instructors were so patient and the safety training was excellent. I felt much more confident after the sessions ended. Erin, Connor and Lorenzo were great instructors and I totally recommend undergoing the safety training before you take your motorcycle on the roads!"

"I took the class with my son, and we both liked it! Evie, Erin and Brian are fantastic, patient instructors, who made the class fun and motivating. What I liked a lot is that the course isn’t just about learning to ride, but emphasizes safety which is especially important for younger people, like my 17year old son, whose frontal lobe hasn’t fully matured yet. :) Thank you for such a great experience!"

"Great experience. Learned a lot of fundamentals at this course and this made me more confident in my riding abilities. Instructors were very professional and knowledgeable. Instructors also kept it real and gave a lot of 1 on 1 when needed. I will recommend anyone that is trying to get there M1 license to attend this course."

"Fantastic experience. Joey, Erin, and Anthony were great instructors! I had taken this same course at a Harley dealer, but the range guy there was a bit of a jerk... I mean I get it, with safety and all... And a lot of people don't pay attention to simple instructions... But c'mon, it's just a beginner class 🤷🏻‍♂️. At Pacific, it was A GREAT learning environment. And I loved the extra exercise at the end with them having us pretend that we were in traffic! I'm glad I signed up and will get some miles under my belt before I try the IRC! UPDATE: Just took the IRC and it's basically an advanced beginner course! Much less intimidating than what I thought it would be originally..."

"Had the best experience here! Evie and Erin were great teachers, they made the training fun and intentional. I went from never riding a bike to being completely comfortable shifting gears, emergency braking and swerving and so much more in just 2 days. Highly recommend this course for safety, skills, confidence, and fun!"
