Motorcycle 3-Hour Refresher Class

Pacific Motorcycle Training

Note: If you are looking for a course to waive your DMV skills test, click here.

The Refresher Class is designed for improving the riding skills of any beginner rider who wants more practice on a motorcycle before riding on the street. Students should already be familiar with the friction zone, shifting and breaking before signing up for this class. This class is ideal for students who have already taken the basic licensing course but have not experienced a lot of seat time outside of a parking lot, or for students who are licensed but have not ridden in several years.

Cost: $265. Bike rental included.

IMPORTANT: This class will give you extra practice, but CANNOT be accepted for credit toward receiving a DMV DL389 waiver form.

This three hour course class is currently being held in South San Francisco on select Saturdays from 2:00 to 5:00 PM.

"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."

"I came here knowing very little about riding a motorcycle and finished the course feeling more confident and at ease about riding. They can teach you all the basics for getting around on a motorcycle over a short weekend and still continue to make it fun and engaging. Definitely recommend Pacific Motorcycle Training for anyone looking to learn how to ride a motorcycle confidently!"

"I had basically no experience on a motorcycle. The instructors were patient, extremely helpful, and had a good progression though the class for beginners. By the end of the riding portion I had a basic grasp of how to ride. I am by no means ready to hit the highway, but I am more than comfortable enough to ride and practice on my own on slow streets and get better on my own now that I know the fundamentals."
― Dylan Nuessle
"The Beginner course is great! A lot of good safety and basic motorcycle operating procedures covered in the theory classes. PMT provides bikes for people who don't own one yet to practice with. The instructors on the course are very helpful and provide continuous feedback to correct riding posture and other nuances. I would definitely recommend taking this course for people who aren't comfortable or used to riding a motorcycle."

"The instructors emphasize that riding safely is truly fun, having accidents is not fun. My instructors shared their love to ride, and how they ride safely. The fact that it can and should be done safely will rub off on you, as that is their message."

"A safe environment with expect staff to walk you through your desire to learn and build confidence in total control of riding a motorcycle. I highly recommend the basic course to anyone at any level or riding. The training was well worth my time as a licensed motorcyclist who learned new skills, refreshed old ones, and allowed a blend of fun, skill, and friendship getting to know other students and instructors. 👏"
― Mary Hostetler
"I was scared at first but I got over it. The purpose of being in the class is to learn and be safe as a rider. The instructors Tony and Tex made it comfortable, fun and easy for everyone to learn. They gave feed back that made me feel confident to keep trying hard. I would recommend this company to everyone that wants to learn how to ride a motorcycle safely."
