Elevate the Ride & Expand Your Possibilities

Welcome to Pacific Motorcycle Training, the top school in the San Jose/South Bay area, where riders can take their motorcycle riding to a new level. Take in some new techniques, experience professional coaching and stretch yourself in an experience that will help you fine tune your skills and follow your path to mastery. At our San Jose site we offer both intermediate and advanced course for licensed riders.

Total Control® Intermediate Riding Clinic

Developed by Total Control Training, the Intermediate Riding Clinic is the perfect next step for newer riders who are looking to improve their skills as well as riders that have recently returned to riding after years off. This course includes both classroom and on-cycle instruction. The IRC is based on the most current research in rider safety, utilizes modern training methods and has been proven to enhance student outcomes. (This is not a licensing course —you must have your M-1 to participate in the IRC at the San Jose location. For the Intermediate Riding Clinic / CMSP 1-Day Premier Course with licensing option, please see our class offerings in Livermore and Salinas.)

Total Control® Advanced Riding Clinic

Whether you want to become a more proficient and safer rider on the street—or a faster rider on the track—mastering advanced riding techniques is crucial and should not be postponed until it is too late. Unfortunately, most advanced riding courses in the country are only offered in high-speed racetrack environments. The fear of crashing at high speeds and the pressure of other riders flying by are too intimidating to most motorcyclists so they never take this important step forward. During our Advanced Riding Clinics, every drill is performed one at a time, and at street-legal speeds, in a controlled environment. After each run, you will receive professional, concise coaching on the specific skills you need to work on to transform your riding. From cruisers to sportbikes, all types of motorcycles and riding styles are welcome to attend. This course is based on Lee Parks' best selling book Total Control: High Performance Street Riding Techniques.

We welcome all San Jose residents as well as future riders from neighboring towns such as Santa Clara, Sunnyvale, Cupertino, Fremont, Morgan Hill, and more. Become a better rider and have fun with us!

"It's been three years since I have ridden the motorcycle. It was really fun and enjoyed it the most. It also helped me realize the mistakes I was doing and to correct those. Thanks Isaac and Edberg for keeping it well balanced with fun and learning. Highly recommend it even if you are not a new rider."

"I had a good experience in this training. I felt pretty safe riding a motorcycle around the course. The bikes are pretty new, and the helmets are in good shape too! The staff is knowledgable, friendly, and they answer all your questions."

― Joel Torralbas Villa

"I cannot praise this program enough. I had never driven anything other than a bicycle prior to taking the class and was scared to death! The process is very well laid out to get you familiar with the bike and gradually building up confidence to ride it. I focused on overcoming my fear and trusting in the instructors who are amazing!! They are so encouraging and positive. Shout out to Dylan as he was the instructor who put me the most at ease. All the instructors were great. Very professional and safe minded. I would highly recommend this course for all first time riders or even those wanting to brush up on their safety skills to re emphasize cornering techniques and safe motorcycle practices. If I can do it anyone can do it! Get out there and have fun learning!!!! Thanks to all the instructors. You are AWESOME!!"

"Pacific Motorcycle Training was a superb class. Even though I had ridden a motorcycle before, they still taught valuable habits and lessons in the beginner course. The instructors are friendly and knowledgeable, and the whole experience was immensely valuable. I would highly recommend to anybody interested in riding a motorcycle!"

― Luke Holmes

"This place is the real deal. My instructor even shared his Arby's with me."

― Dustin Armstrong

"First and foremost the training is exceptional, it prepares you mentally, emotionally, and physically about the thrill and threats of a successful motorcycle riding experience. The instructors were spot on with their classroom and range feedback. I honestly think the class should have an extra day of riding to get the last bit of jitters out of the newly minted rider. As for the cost, it’s worth every penny and then some."

― Jeff Stibling

"I took the Pacific Motorcycle Training course in San Bruno and it was an incredible experience. The instructors did an awesome job not only teaching in-class principles effectively, but demonstrating in the field why those principles are relevant and necessary if you’re planning on riding motorcycles for a lifetime. I had a great time in this class and would recommend it to anyone who wants to be a better, safer, and more proficient rider."
