"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 course itself was well-structured, combining theory with practical sessions in a way that was both engaging and informative. There was a clear progression from the basics to more complex maneuvers, and I felt supported at every step. What really stood out for me was the patience and professionalism of the instructors. They were always willing to go the extra mile to address any concerns or difficulties, and their constructive feedback helped me improve significantly. I also appreciated the strong emphasis on real-world riding scenarios, which has prepared me well for the challenges of the road. By the end of the course, not only did I feel ready to ride, but I was also genuinely excited to continue developing my skills. I wholeheartedly recommend Pacific Motorcycle Training to anyone looking to learn how to ride safely and enjoyably. It's been an exhilarating journey from start to finish, and I'm grateful to have had such a solid foundation for my motorcycling adventures."

"Absolutely fantastic training for the newbie!! I was riding a motorcycle by the end of the day- it was fabulous! The teachers, both in the classroom and on the range, are all very experienced (10+years) riders. They stayed calm even when I didn't. The classroom instruction is thorough but not excessive; I would have loved a few more hours on the range since I was SO new. I will definitely be taking more classes with them!"
